An Encyclopedia of Product Design
4 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the book those of us teaching product design in universities have been waiting for. I can't think of any area of product design and development that Otto and Wood haven't covered, and in real depth. I teach a course in product design at Ohio State, and this will be the book we'll use from now on. I especially appreciate the extensive references, and the emphasis placed on looking at real products to learn how to design better products. The chapter on product architecture is really a godsend - these are concepts that most engineering students don't run into in the standard curriculum, but they're crucial to sound product development. In short, an amazingly useful book, and one that will certainly be around for a long time to come.

Great book for designers
23 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
I have used the text in a graduate design course at the University of Texas at Austin. This is a great book for engineers and engineering students who seek an understanding of proper design fundamentals and useful design tools. Emphasis throughout the book is placed on application of systematic and repeatable methods as opposed to ad hoc approaches. The book reads well and has sufficient depth for those interested in more than an overview of what design is about.

The real version is a comprehensive resource
23 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
The book is a comprehensive reference of design methodologies and techniques that are useful to both students and experienced designers. It has a wide range of approaches and a wealth of real world examples that illustrate and motivate the techniques. A worth while investment. The golden nuggets at the end of each chapter help the reader digest the reading, or if needed help the reader extract the high points of a chapter.
