About this eBook

In our endeavor to reinforce and emphasize the benefits of modern industrial design course to many students across India we are bringing on a small edition of this book titled “Concepts in Engineering Design” .The subtlety of creation with problem solving approach is needed to be deeply ingrained into the vast diaspora of Indian students; especially with emphasis of government on make in India , start up India and zero effect zero defect projects. It is abundantly clear that classroom teaching has to be up scaled with practical approach and industrial reasoning. So the takeaway from this course to students, researchers and professional after the course should be engineering with a systems approach, involvement of design development as a team, integration of several streams of learning like environmental, physiology etc. into the Concept of Engineering Design. We wish we are in some manner involved in changing their outlook from classic learning to professional learning involving them into project based activity, case studies ,resourceful learning etc. They become agents of change for future generations and they grasp the fact that they can become professional designers and not merely subservient engineers. Good luck. “The primary objective of the course is to introduce concepts in engineering design to students from all the engineering disciplines. This course broadly covers the prerequisites for an innovative design followed by concepts of products design cycle right from planning, designing, manufacturing, distributing and its usage.”-RGPV

About the author

Sumesh Krishnan: The esteemed author with a penchant for writing completed his B.E,M.B.A then followed it with an M.Tech degree. After 15 years industrial experience and almost 7 years into academics is grossly concerned with the divide between the divide of performing engineers ,employable engineers and graduate engineering seeks in rewarding the minor step in augmenting the gap between theory and practice, the vacuum between learning and skill, the dichotomy between knowledge and innovation ;opts to bring a series of books and videos to redeem the situation. The Author thinks if he could motivate you, encourage you and empower in a little manner through this edition; he is abundantly blessed. Dr.Mukul Shukla : Dr. Mukul Shukla is an widely experienced and an inspirational academician. He is PhD.(IIT Kanpur) and has chartered several frontiers of technology and knowledge ultimately focusing his energies on the frontier science of “Composite Materials”. His literary and academic excellence cannot be illuminated in a few points; but is earnestly sure of imbibing best practices in technology and academics. This is just a small effort but a gigantic leap towards unleashing his knowledge into assimilable compendium. As Arthur Wade said “The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, the great teacher inspires “In consonance to the great writer’s words a good author should be able to guide. Hopefully this is just the beginning and as we move along you are invited to more creative and path breaking guidance in the very near future.
