Sharing Experience in Engineering Design is based on papers presented at the Engineering and Product Design Education Conference E & PDE 2002.This volume is vital reading for all those students, practitioners, and professionals operating in the field of product and engineering design and education.CONTENTS INCLUDE: The integration of design and business issues in the engineering curriculumWhat are the qualities and competencies required by product design employers? Product design courses lead the way in providing the graduate with the necessary skills to get the top jobDesigning for a sustainable future – promoting outreach through the use of case studies; Degree design – exploring creativity from the startAssessing creativity – theory and practiceDeveloping an appreciation of the complex interactions between life-cycle analysis and design for manufactureStrategic design and product development – a practical application of business process re engineering in bespoke manufacturingEngineering design modules teaching by projectsProduct design project teaching, using athletic transport artefacts as the vehicleSketching – a dying art? Overcoming human barriers to knowledge-based systems in design.
M. A. C. Evatt and E. K. Brodhurst are the authors of Sharing Experience in Engineering Design (SEED 2002), published by Wiley.
