Design is the essential component of engineering. Design Matters
demonstrates the need to understand the context, process and
delivery of engineering projects and services by focusing on the
nature and practice of engineering design. The book specifically
highlights the cultural, economic, political and social parameters
and illustrates the importance of their understanding as
demonstrated by successful designers.
Unique to Design Matters are case studies that demonstrate the
principles described in the book and the importance of using
multidisciplinary teams to achieve effective design development.
Contributions are included from key professionals involved in
several high-profile and innovative civil and industrial
engineering projects, including:
- A Diagnostic Analyser, Northern Ireland
- A Foot Prosthesis, UK
- The Channel Tunnel Terminal, UK
- The Channel Tunnel Rail Link, UK
- The London Eye, London
- The Lesotho Hydro-electric Project, Natal
- An Australian Timber Arch Bridge, Melbourne
- The Bahaii Temple, New Delhi, India
- The Hampden Gurney Primary School, London
- The Bridge Academy Secondary School, London
- The Harris-Manchester College, Oxford
- The Angel of the North, Gateshead, UK
Design Matters is an ideal text for graduate students in all
branches of engineering looking to gain a practical introduction to
the breadth and depth of the design process as well as to
practicing engineers who wish to gain further insight into how
design engineering worksstrategically.
