Whatever their discipline, engineers are routinely called upon to
develop solutions to all kinds of problems. To do so effectively,
they need a systematic and disciplined approach that considers a
range of alternatives, taking into account all relevant factors,
before selecting the best solution. In Problem Solving for
Engineers, David Carmichael demonstrates just such an approach
involving problem definition, generation of alternative solutions,
and, ultimately, the analysis and selection of a preferred
solution. David Carmichael introduces the fundamental concepts
needed to think systematically and undertake methodical problem
solving. He argues that the most rational way to develop a
framework for problem solving is by using a systems studies
viewpoint. He then outlines systems methodology, modeling, and the
various configurations for analysis, synthesis, and investigation.
Building on this, the book details a systematic process for problem
solving and demonstrates how problem solving and decision making
lie within a systems synthesis configuration. Carefully designed as
a self-learning resource, the book contains exercises throughout
that reinforce the material and encourage readers to think and
apply the concepts. It covers decision making in the presence of
uncertainty and multiple criteria, including that involving
sustainability with its blend of economic, social, and
environmental considerations. It also characterizes and tackles the
specific problem solving of management, planning, and design. The
book provides, for the first time, a rational framework for problem
solving with an engineering orientation.
