Engineering

For students, new professionals, and practitioners.

Designed to help problem solvers improve their street smarts, this hands-on guide examines the components of problem solving, and presents a series of graduated exercises—drawn from a variety of industrial applications—to familiarize, reinforce, challenge, and stretch readers creatively in the problem solving process.

Leads readers step-by-step through a complete problem-solving process—from encountering an ill-defined problem to identifying the real problem, effectively exploring constraints, planning a robust approach, carrying it through to a viable solution, and then evaluating what has been accomplished.

• Outlines an effective problem-solving heuristic.

• Leads readers step-by-step through proven problem-solving methodologies.

• Features a wealth of exercises and problem-solving situations—Many drawn from a wide variety of industrial applications.

1. Introduction: A Rationale for Problem Solving Strategies.


2. A Heuristic.


3. Problem Definition.


4. Generating Alternatives.


5. Decide the Course of Action.


6. Carry Through.


7. Evaluation.
