DESCRIPTION:
This text is appropriate primarily for the Senior Design course taken by mechanical engineering students, though it can also be used in design courses offered earlier in the curriculum. Ullman's work as an innovative designer comes through consistently, and has made this book a favorite with readers. The fourth edition of The Mechanical Design Process combines a practical overview of the design process with case material and real-life engineering insights. This book conveys the "flavor" of design, addressing both traditional engineering topics as well as real-world issues like creative thinking, synthesis of ideas, visualization, teamwork, sense of customer needs and product success factors, and the financial aspects of design alternatives, in a practical and motivating manner. New in this edition are examples from industry and over twenty online templates that help students prepare complete and consistent assignments while learnign the material. Working engineers also find it to be a readable, practical overview of the modern desi
"Detailed book for Mechanical Design Process" according to C. Williams. Ullman provides an easy to understand text on an extremely detailed subject matter. I used it in a sophomore design class to get an overview of the mechanical design process and will use it again for senior capstone design. The text starts off using techniques/tools we're already familiar with and segways into more detailed and specific methods of concept development. The bicycle example does a great job of showing a designer's thought process and is a good inclusion to the book. Also, it helps that Ullman knows how to get to the point.However, some of the charts are difficult to grasp,. A. Palioca said Important Design Fundamentals - Explained Clearly. This text has fast become a favorite at our company; reminding our engineers of some of the key fundamentals of the machine design process. As designers of advanced machine design software technologies, Dr. Ullman's book has inspired the team resulting in valuable brainstorm sessions and innovations. All have found this text to be a great and engergizing read.I highly recommend this text and am glad that my son will have the opportunity of using it in his mechanical engineering studies at college.. "The 'standard' for mechanical engineering design texts" according to John T. Tester. A nice overview of the engineering design process. What is really nice is that the author includes a few examples per chapter--many design texts do not take this extra step.One really good aspect of the text is that the topics flow well for a Capstone Design class. Even QFD is explained in detail without getting too bogged down with the different uses it could have. Though, the author did not explain exactly *how* to use QFD in the design process, there was plenty of detail for a good introduction.It would be helpful to have problem assignments, to make the text more like a classroom te
