However, effective design is a prerequisite for effective manufacturing. This new book explores the status of engineering design practice, education, and research in the United States and recommends ways to improve design to increase U.S. industry's competitiveness in world markets. 606 $aIndustrial design$zUnited States 606 $aEngineering design$zUnited States 615 0$aIndustrial design 615 0$aEngineering design 676 $a745.2/0973 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957771303321 996 $aImproving engineering design$94351802 997 $aUNINA
