Engineering Design: Representation and Reasoning

Building upon the foundation provided in the first edition, Engineering Design: A Synthesis of Views, this second edition includes many contributions and new ways of thinking that have emerged about engineering design research, education, and practice over the last 15 years. It should be of particular benefitto currentresearchers in the areaand,inparticular,tothosejustbeginningtheirjourney of understanding and/or contributing to the field of engineering design. The emphasis in this second edition recognizes amore holistic and integrated view of design as creative, as rigorous, as analytical, and as a problemsolving and decision-based process where representation and reasoning are key to harnessing our understanding and the ability of machines (computers) to ease the complexity of design thinking and process.
