Design for Electrical and Computer Engineers

Eric Salt and Robert Rothery's Design for Electrical and Computer Engineers guides students through each stage of the engineering process, from start to finish. As students work through the text, they will develop a strong theoretical framework and master practical techniques that they can rely on throughout their academic and professional careers. Students learn how to define a customer's needs and the design problem, synthesize solutions, evaluate alternatives, and complete the systems level design. The text also addresses the important issues of documentation and testing. In addition, students will find a number of examples and templates throughout the text, including suggested outlines for design documents such as design specifications, project plans, and test plans. This text is suitable as a main text or supplement for a junior, senior or graduate course in Electrical Engineering Design or Project Management.

Eine strukturierte Anleitung für den Designprozess! Theoretische Grundlagen und praktische Hilfsmittel, die zur Definition des Designproblems, zur Erarbeitung von Lösungen und zur Prüfung von Alternativen erforderlich sind, werden hier gleichermaßen tiefgründig erarbeitet. Zu den behandelten Themen zählen die Ermittlung der Kundenbedürfnisse, die Spezifikation der Anforderungen, das Design auf Systemniveau, Test- und Prüfmethoden sowie das Projektmanagement.

Features

• Presents a step-by-step methodology for engineering design.
• A case study elaborates concepts introduced in the text.
• A chapter on project management provides practical suggestions for organizing design teams, scheduling tasks, monitoring progress, and reporting status of design projects.
• Includes practical templates and system-level design tools that you can use in your design course, capstone projects, and as a practicing engineer.
• Explains both creative and linear thinking and relates the types of thinking to the productivity of the design engineers and novelty of the end design.
