The book begins with a brief orientation to the design process, followed by coverage of the design process in a series of short modules. The rest of the book contains a set of modules organized in several major categories: Communication \u0026amp; Critical Thinking, Teamwork \u0026amp; Project Management, and Design for Specific Factors (e.g. environmental, human factors, intellectual property). A resource section provides brief reference material on economics, failure and risk, probability and statistics, principles \u0026amp; problem solving, and estimation.\u003c\/p\u003e
