INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN

This book is the fourth edition of the ninth textbook in this series dealing with Introduction to Engineering Design. , Jim Dally, working with College House Enterprises and faculty members in the Clark School of Engineering, has prepared eight previous books in this series&mdash,a new one almost every academic year&mdash,for the first-year engineering students of the University of Maryland at College Park. , Several other Colleges of Engineering have adopted one or more of the books in this series to introduce design and engineering skills for their first or second year students. , The design, build and test of a hovercraft model, described in Book 9, is such an interesting and challenging project that this is the fifth year we have used it (eight previous semesters) with approximately 5,000 students. , The project is also assigned for the first year Introduction to Engineering Design at the University of Nevada @ Reno where it is in its sixth year._,
