a collaboration of transdis­ciplinary knowledge, reaching beyond the borders of their own subject area to conduct "useful" research that benefits society. The author--a noted expert in the field--argues that by adopting transdisciplinary research to solving complex, large-scale engineering problems it produces more innovative and improved results. This important guide: * Takes a holistic approach to solving complex engineering design challenges * Includes a wealth of topics such as modeling and simulation, optimization, reliability, statistical decisions, ethics and project management * Contains a description of a complex transdisciplinary design process that is clear and logical * Offers an overview of the key trends in modern design engineering * Integrates transdisciplinary knowledge and tools to prepare students for the future of jobs Written for members of the academy as well as industry leaders, Transdisciplinary Engineering Design Process is an essential resource that offers a new perspective on the design process that invites in a wide variety of collaborative partners.
