Engineering Capstone Design - Alexei Morozov

. .

Résumé :
Engineering Capstone Design: Project Planning, Organizing, and Executing provides a single-source of information for a mechanical engineering capstone course, with coverage of topics like team formation, project organization and task distribution, basics of project management, principles of design, and the design process from problem definition to final prototyping. The book focuses on two aspects of a typical capstone course: project planning (including teamwork organization, project management, and communication with the clients, suppliers, and manufacturers) and the step-by-step design process. It reviews fundamental design laws and methods before going on to systematically take students through the steps for tackling a capstone design project. It offers detailed explanations of the various design phases and best practices for design analysis and optimization, using graphics to communicate a design, and prototyping, and planning for testing and quality control. The final chapters feature case studies of actual capstone projects in the areas of robotics, multi-speed automotive transmission, designing a Formula SAE vehicle, high power diodes for street lighting, and biomedical knee design. The book is accompanied by supplemental material for instructors that explains how to organize a successful capstone design course, with suggestions for learning outcomes, grade attribution, principles of student team formation, project selection, and distribution process.-- Provided by publisher....
