This book focuses on the process of mechanical design. It defines terms basic to studying the design process, and discusses human interface with mechanical products. Techniques are presented to aid in: problem understanding (Quality Function Development), planning, concept generation (function decomposition, morphologies), concept evaluation (technology assessment, Pugh's method), product generation (concurrent design), and product evaluation (robust design, design for assembly, design for reliability, cost estimations).

This 3rd edition of The Mechanical Design Process by David Ullman covers 4 basic conclusions about mechanical design: The only way to learn about design is to do design; Designers use 3 types of knowledge- to generate ideas, to evaluate ideas and to structure the design process; The design process for quality products can be learned; and The design process should be learned in both academic and real-world environments. This edition also includes over 50 design aphorisms, info on concept generation, TRIZ and axiomatic design, team decision making, and MUCH MORE.

The Mechanical Design Process

McGraw=Hill

The Mechanical Design Process combines a practical overview of the design process with case material and real-life engineering insights. Ullman's work as an innovative designer comes through consistently, and has made this book a favorite with readers. 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 learning the material.

The Mechanical Design Process Case Studies

Scrum is a widely used software design Agile process. Scrum for Hardware Design customizes the scrum process for hardware and system design. It builds the process with the thirteen steps needed to design hardware and weaves them with traditional mechanical design best practices. Further, it provides two case studies; one from industry – Saab Aerospace's design of the Gripen E fighter; and one from academia – a student team designing a prosthesis.
Scrum for Hardware Design is a supplement to The Mechanical Design Process, 6th edition adding material on Scrum to the design best practices presented there. The two new Scrum case studies add to those already available in The Mechanical Design Process Case Studies also by David G. Ullman.
All books by David G. Ullman and additional supplemental material is available at www.mechdesignprocess.com.
