This 304 page textbook presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering design with a focus on solutions that are based on information technology. With capabilities of computers expanding at an unthinkable pace, the importance of using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) systems in engineering design must be emphasized. Pro/Engineer, a leading CAD system, is described to demonstrate the role of the computer in the design process. The book is written as an introductory text for undergraduate students in engineering in all specialty areas (e.g., mechanical, aerospace, civil, electrical, chemical, industrial and materials). The book should also be useful to engineers engaged in the product design. The book is organized into 10 chapters. The first three chapters provide coverage of topics important in engineering design. A practical approach following standards related to engineering graphics, dimensioning, and tolerancing is stressed. Representative examples are provided to demonstrate industrial applications. A systematic description of the Pro/Engineer design system is presented in Chapters 4-8. It covers feature-based solid modeling, preparation of engineering drawings, concept of virtual assembly, and parametric design. Chapter 9 presents applications of finite element analysis. Chapter 10 describes applications of numerically controlled machining. Both Chapters 9 and 10 demonstrate the integration of a CAD system and a computer-aided manufacturing system under the Pro/Engineer design environment.
