Engineering Design: A Systematic Approach, Third Edition, by Ken Wallace and Lucienne Blessing, is a comprehensive guide to systematic engineering design. The book has been translated into eight languages and is recognized as an international reference text. It was first published in German in 1977 and later translated into English in 1984. The third English edition, published in 2007, builds on the previous editions and includes new developments in the field of engineering design. The book covers the fundamentals of technical systems, the product development process, and the application of systematic design principles in various stages of product development. It includes detailed examples and practical applications, as well as discussions on quality, cost, and sustainability. The book also addresses the importance of computer-aided design (CAD) and the role of systematic design in ensuring the success of product development. The authors emphasize the need for a structured and systematic approach to engineering design, and the book provides a clear framework for understanding and applying these principles. The third edition includes new chapters on mechanical connections, mechatronics, and adaptronics, as well as updates on size ranges and modular products. The book is intended for use in design education and practice, and it provides a valuable resource for engineers and designers. The authors have received widespread recognition for their contributions to the field of engineering design, and the book has been widely adopted in both academic and industrial settings. The third edition of the book has been well-received and is considered a key reference in the field of systematic engineering design.Engineering Design: A Systematic Approach, Third Edition, by Ken Wallace and Lucienne Blessing, is a comprehensive guide to systematic engineering design.
