The Mechanical Design Process

Rate this book
The fourth edition of "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. 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. This text is appropriate primarily for the Senior Design course taken by mechanical engineering students, though it can also be used in design courses offered earlier in the curriculum. Working engineers also find it to be a readable, practical overview of the modern design process.

THIS BOOK is absolutely amazing... every single part of it was useful for me (as a student ) perfectly explained every aspect of mechanical design! (from design for quality, cost to assembly and manufacture!+ how to evaluate them!)
surely it is a book to be read multiple times and with gaining experience in work, it becomes much more useful :)
