As with any art, science, or discipline, natural talent is only
part of the equation. Consistent success stems from honing your
skills, cultivating good techniques, and hard work. Design
engineering, a field often considered an intuitive process not
amenable to scientific investigation, is no exception. Providing
descriptive theory, broad context, and practical examples, Design
Engineering: A Manual for Enhanced Creativity explores how to
quantify creativity, codify inspiration, and document a process
seemingly based solely on intuition. The authors discuss how to
clarify the design task, conceptualize candidate solutions, and
search for alternatives. They delineate how these phases fit into
an industrial context, including engineering product development,
and what to consider during design engineering to satisfy all
customers. The book discusses activities and methods for performing
engineering design work in a rational, reviewable, and documented
way, increasing the likelihood of finding an optimal solution. The
presentation covers substantiated use of intuition and opportunism
as an integral part of rational, systematic, and methodical
designing. It examines the influence of other topics on the work,
such as psychology, computers, teamwork, application of methods,
and education. The authors recommend that results from these less
systematic activities be brought into the rational and systematic
framework to document the results. Based on the authors' extensive
industrial experience, the book elucidates a coherent body of
knowledge of design engineering. The book clearly details an easily
applicable theory that not only gives you solid design tools, but
can also be adapted to any existing design situation.
