Preface
Engineering design encompasses a wide range of activities whose goal is to determine all attributes of a product before it is manufactured. Design research that produces a scientific foundation and helps in the development of new design methods and tools for consumer products as well as for the manufacturing systems that produce these products is a pre-requisite for industrial innovation. Engineering design research and practice, particularly using systematic and tested methodologies contribute to the industrial innovation of nations by reducing reliance on outdated methods in design practice.
