Synopsis

As innovation is key to economic success, engineers with the ability to invent are invaluable assets to any company. However, the journey from idea to invention is complex and often challenging. In Design Process: Invention at Your Fingertips, the authors explore the essential framework that guides engineers through this intricate process.

Beginning with a cautionary real-life tale of a failed attempt at invention, the authors emphasise the importance of systematic design methodologies. Readers are introduced to the concept of the design process–An organised approach that blends knowledge, creativity, and technical skill.

Throughout the book, various design projects illustrate the application of these principles. From an automated filter cleaner for domestic air conditioning to a mechanical coconut husk peeler, each chapter presents real-world challenges, and the innovative solutions developed by the authors. Other projects include a multipurpose corn seed sowing jig, a portable incinerator for home use, a flying machine with flapping wings, a hand control mechanism for paraplegic drivers, an automatic fish feeder, and a micro wind turbine.

Design Process: Invention at Your Fingertips serves as an invaluable resource for engineering students and educators, providing a foundational understanding of the engineering design process. Whether you are a budding inventor or an experienced professional, this book equips you with the tools to transform ideas into tangible innovation.
