Description
Designing Engineers explores how everyday products come to be. By examining three distinct projects - an airport x-ray inspection system, a photoprint machine, and a residential photovoltaic energy system - Louis L. Bucciarelli reveals the complexities of engineering design. Through his involvement in these projects, Bucciarelli sheds light on the often-overlooked social aspects of design. He shows how engineers negotiate with various stakeholders, including marketing people, research scientists, accountants, and customers, to create products that meet specific needs. This nuanced perspective challenges the common perception of engineering as a solely instrumental process. By delving into the details of these projects, Bucciarelli offers a unique insight into the design process, highlighting its inherent uncertainties and ambiguities.
