Detailed book for Mechanical Design Process, Sep 5 2005
By C. Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mechanical Design Process (Hardcover)
Ullman provides an easy to understand text on an extremely detailed subject matter. I used it in a sophomore design class to get an overview of the mechanical design process and will use it again for senior capstone design. The text starts off using techniques/tools we're already familiar with and segways into more detailed and specific methods of concept development. The bicycle example does a great job of showing a designer's thought process and is a good inclusion to the book. Also, it helps that Ullman knows how to get to the point.However, some of the charts are difficult to grasp, and the material on cost and marketing are a bit dull. Although, that's probably due to the subject and not the author.

By A. Palioca - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mechanical Design Process (Hardcover)
This text has fast become a favorite at our company; reminding our engineers of some of the key fundamentals of the machine design process. As designers of advanced machine design software technologies, Dr. Ullman's book has inspired the team resulting in valuable brainstorm sessions and innovations. All have found this text to be a great and engergizing read.I highly recommend this text and am glad that my son will have the opportunity of using it in his mechanical engineering studies at college.

Verbose and Ineffective, Mar 6 2011
By Jason D - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mechanical Design Process (Hardcover)
While this text does outline the design process, it does so in a manner such that the important concepts are lost. The book reads like a student trying to fill a minimum page requirement: unnecessary graphics that don't add to comprehension, rambling passages of very little content, and, worse of all, poor explanations for the few concepts that actually are technical. I am insulted when students fluff their reports with the techniques used to inflate this text so I was horrified to find this being used as a textbook for a class.
