Fundamentals of Engineering for Industrial Designers and Inventors

If you have visionary ideas for fantastic machines but are unsure of how to transform them into tangible engineered products that can be produced, marketed, and utilized, then this book is perfect for you. Tom Ask, an engineering professor and experienced creator, assists you in incorporating mechanical engineering principles into your innovative design process through a rigorous yet approachable non-mathematical approach.

By recounting stories and showcasing visuals, this book establishes a strong foundation in material mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer. Additionally, students, product designers, mechanical engineers, and creative individuals will also delve into non-technical subjects like aesthetics, ethnography, and branding, which play a significant role in shaping product attractiveness and user preference.

Gain insight into the significance of designing practical products that also possess subtle user appeal. Explore the impact of aesthetics, ethnography, brand management, and material culture on product design. Delve into traditional mechanical engineering fields related to the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Comprehend the human-centric aspects of design, including ergonomics, kinesiology, anthropometry, and biomimicry. Receive an overview of the mechanical systems and components available for developing your product.
