Description: This book is written as an introductory course in design. Students' technical capabilities are assumed to be at the level of college physics and calculus. For students with advanced technical capabilities the analysis part in the design sequence could be emphasized. This book [first discusses] the design process [in detail. It then] presents design projects that have been used by the author. [The last part] presents design labs. The purpose of these labs is to create design activities that help students, especially freshmen and sophomores, to adjust to working in teams. -Pref.
