Using a very strong engineering context and providing an experiential resource, this material exposes students to the cognitive and interpersonal skills required to execute the design process and introduces them to some of the productivity tools used by engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003ePhases of the design process are covered, which reflect the new ABET accreditation criteria. These areas include Defining the Problem, Formulating Solutions, Developing Models and Prototypes and Presenting the Design. Topics on Decision-Making, Communication, Collaboration and Self-Management are also presented, in order for students to learn how these various skills are best applied to each phase of the design process.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSuitable for a freshman\/sophomore Introductory Design course, Dominick's book can also be used for some upper-level design courses.
