Designing engineering products requires a range of information, know-how, experience, and engineering analysis. This book presents methods for applying systematic and methodical conceptualization to abstract models of engineering systems. It incorporates new insights and surveys information about systematic, methodical, and intuitive design engineering and progressive product development. While of great interest to top-level managers and chief engineering designers, this book serves the needs of  engineering students by providing practical approaches in addition to helping the reader better understand the role of engineering in society.
