Engineering Design in the Multi-Discipline Era is about
systems engineering – in the sense of an integrated approach
to engineering design. The very nature of modern integrated systems
means that they necessitate multidisciplinary design and so the
audience encompasses a wide range of traditional domains, including
mechanical and electronic engineering, manufacturing and support
and, of course, those who already regard themselves as systems
engineers. In reality, the engineering of integrated systems must
be multi-disciplinary. In a very real sense, a wide range of
professions need to regard themselves as systems engineers,
although the multidisciplinary team must include someone whose
expertise is specifically
the ‘understanding of systems’.
the ‘understanding of systems’.
This important and practical book will be of considerable
interest to engineers in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace,
machinery, and other industries where mechatronic design,
development, and systems integration are developed or employed.
This includes professionals involved in design, research,
development, and maintenance of integrated systems. Also students,
who can be shown the need for a multi-disciplinary
approach to engineering, especially at the design stage.
