Introduction to Product Design and Development for Engineers


Book Description

Introduction to Product Design and Development for Engineers provides guidelines and best practices for the design, development, and evaluation of engineered products. Created to serve fourth year undergraduate students in Engineering Design modules with a required project, the text covers the entire product design process and product life-cycle, from the initial concept to the design and development stages, and through to product testing, design documentation, manufacturability, marketing, and sustainability. Reflecting the author's long career as a design engineer, this text will also serve as a practical guide for students working on their capstone design projects.




Product Design for Modularity


Book Description

The current marketplace is undergoing an accelerated pace of change that challenges corporations to innovate new techniques to respond rapidly to an ever-changing environment. At the center of this changing environment is a new generation of empowered buyers (customers) equipped with fast evolving technologies that allow them to buy from markets scattered across the globe. Empowering the customers has deprived organizations of what was once their right-to introduce new products slowly, at their own leisure. Organizations used to introduce new products every few years, and, for the most part, products offered limited functionalities and features. A low-priced quality product-irrespective of customer satisfaction-was a guaranteed ticket for success. New global economies and global markets changed business practices and focused on the customer as the major player in the economy. Organizations now fail or succeed based upon their ability to respond quickly to changing customer demands and to utilize new technological innovations. In such an environment, the advantage goes to the firm that can offer greater varieties of new products with higher performance and greater overall appeal. In order to compete in this fast-paced global market, organizations need to produce products that can be easily configured to offer distinctive capabilities compared to the competition. Furthermore, organizations need to develop new methods and techniques to react rapidly to required changes in products and market trends and to shorten the product development cycle, which will enable them to gain more economic competitiveness.




Designing Successful Products with Plastics


Book Description

Designing Successful Products with Plastics: Fundamentals of Plastic Part Design 2e provides expert insight into design considerations required to bring a concept product or part through design and ready-for-production. Rather than focusing on design rules and engineering equations used during product development, the emphasis of the book is on what the designer needs to consider during the early conceptual visualization stages, and in the detailed stages of the design process. This fully updated edition features new practical advice on how to design sustainably throughout the book. This approach will bridge the gap between the industrial designer, tasked with the 'big picture' product design and use, and the part designer, tasked with the detailed plastic part design for manufacture. Useful to both experienced and novice designers, this book brings valuable design process information through specific examples, enabling designers and engineers in the plastics industry to effectively use the available technical information to successfully design and manufacture new products. - Brings together the worlds of the plastic part designer and the industrial designer and shows how each impacts the success of a development project. - Teaches the "Four Pillars considerations (Materials, Processes, Tooling, and Design) required for every design decision to be made during a plastic part design project. The interrelationship of these considerations with the sustainability intent for the product being developed is taught and illustrated within this new edition. - Illustrates the product design process roadmap from creation of the concept through implementation into manufacturing, highlighting steps and methods used throughout the process to limit risk and ensure success. - Includes methods and design project management techniques used to ensure an efficient design process and successful manufacturing of the product or part.




IoT Product Design and Development


Book Description

IoT Product Design and Development Learn to incorporate IoT products into the process of building a product Internet of Things (or IoT) is currently one of the central building blocks of industry. It is the driving technology of the connected world—be it smart cars, smart homes, smart factories, or smart cities. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is one of the most impactful areas of the global market, where it has fundamentally altered industries as varied as manufacturing, electronics, automotive, consumer goods, healthcare, and process industries like oil and gas, among others. As such, it is essential that engineers working in these fields improve their IoT knowledge to keep pace with this growing demand. IoT Product Design and Development offers an accessible entry point to the methods, techniques, and best practices necessary to add IoT onto an existing product or to build new IoT products wholesale. To accomplish this, the volume examines product design requirements for industrial, business, and consumer applications. Relying on real-world examples, the book provides a blueprint of the creation process, including tips on best practices and common pitfalls. Readers will thereby gain the tools to bring IoT to specific industries and job functions. IoT Product Design and Development readers will also find: Concise content that is targeted to what practitioners need to know without the academic jargon In-depth case studies related to power distribution systems, airports, and consumer home products Diagrams and tables used liberally to present concepts in a visual way Additional sidebar examples are included throughout the book to highlight key issues like IoT security and product lifecycle IoT Product Design and Development is a useful reference for professional mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineers, as well as IoT product managers, business leads, software and hardware professionals, and data professionals.
