Mechanical Design Process with Case Studies

Sixth Edition   Ullman, © 2023, 482 pages

A primary goal in writing The Mechanical Design Process was to provide a solid foundation in design, combined with real world examples, best practices, and case studies that illustrate the concepts. This 6th edition builds on the reputation of earlier editions for being concise, direct, and logical, while remaining easy and enjoyable to read. And now, this 6th edition bundle packages the textbook with all of the available resources and the associated case studies, providing students with a single, comprehensive product at an even more affordable price point.
