DESCRIPTION

Filling a new need in engineering education, Getting Design Right: A Systems
Approach integrates aspects from both design and systems engineering to provide
a solid understanding of the fundamental principles and best practices in these
areas. Through examples, it encourages students to create an initial product
design and project plan.



Classroom-tested and industry-reviewed, the text focuses on the steps of a basic
design cycle. It first defines the problem, establishes technical requirements,
and identifies the customer value proposition. The text then explores the design
space, optimizes design choices, and develops the architecture, including
behavior, control, and structure. After validating the design, the author
presents an accessible treatment of resource-constrained scheduling as a
computer puzzle. The final chapter covers the level-by-level decomposition of
systems. In addition, the appendices offer useful design challenges for a
bathroom-cleaning robot, a home health-care monitoring system, a night-vision
system for automobiles, and an Internet-based meal delivery system.



Using a design approach based on simple text-based tools and spreadsheet
software, this book presents a formal process for discovering requirements and
tackling design problems. It will help mature audiences in professional settings
as well as students with limited design and project experience.
