Contrary to popular mythology, the designs of favorable products
and successful systems do not appear suddenly, or magically. This
second edition of Engineering Design demonstrates that symbolic
representation and related problem-solving methods, offer
significant opportunities to clarify and articulate concepts of
design to lay a better framework for design research and design
education. Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides a substantial body
of material concerned with understanding and modeling cognitive
processes. This book adopts the vocabulary and a paradigm of AI to
enhance the presentation and explanation of design. It includes
concepts from AI because of their explanatory power and their
utility as possible ingredients of practical design activity. This
second edition has been enriched by the inclusion of recent work on
design reasoning, computational design, AI in design, and design
cognition, with pointers to a wide cross section of the current
literature.
Mike Owen, a contractor from Ohio, is building a large project in
northwest Pennsylvania. A beautiful engineer, Ann Lane, manages
Shaffer, the company supplying the project's concrete. Mike's
interested in more than a business relationship with his concrete
supplier's manager. So is a rival contractor who wants Ann dead.
Ann Lane understands that when evil strikes, you'll only get a
moment to save your life. Best have the appropriate tool at hand.
Against a backdrop of a missing college girl, fraudulent material
substitution, and death threats, Ann and Mike confront enemies who
consider rape and murder just additional techniques for improving
profits.
