Bøker av W. Ernst Eder

This book provides a comprehensive and coherent guide to innovative design engineering. Based on more than 25 years of industrial experience, the authors explore the progressive development of a product through the various stages of modeling, from abstract theory to concrete application. They present a pioneering methodology based on a theory of transformation processes, tangible products, and a coordinated theory of design processes. The text features several case examples of practical engineering products that demonstrate how to implement the methodology in real-world practice.

Design engineering, a field often considered an intuitive process not amenable to scientific investigation, is no exception. This book explores how to quantify creativity, codify inspiration, and document a process seemingly based solely on intuition. It is suitable for engineering designers, educators, researchers, and students.

Presents methods for systematic and methodical conceptualizing with abstract models of engineering systems, to use when needed in developing candidate solutions.
