This textbook supports a new course, entitled Product Engineering and Manufacturing, which has been under development at the University of Maryland since 1994. It is a required course in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, which precedes the capstone design experience in the senior year. The concept was to build on the students' early design experience by considering a real product mass-produced by a local company competing in the global market. While the course is for mechanical engineering majors, the content is broad and suitable for students in any engineering discipline. The book has six technical objectives and three goals for student development. It is an excellent text for a capstone design course because of its emphasis on product development. Enhance your students' capstone design experience with a book that describes design procedures for developing a mass-produced product. Add challenging hands-on experiences involving benchmarking and improving the design of an existing product. Introduce quality functional deployment to aid in writing product specifications. Describe a modern method for estimating profits for a new product development. Provide statistical methods for quality control. Stress the importance of communications with modern methods for gathering information, writing technical reports and presenting design briefings with PowerPoint.
