At last, a handbook for students, educators, and new engineers on how to do engineering according to industry standards! This second edition manual gives step-by-step instructions and examples on how to perform a logical engineering process used by industry and that is tailored toward typical multi-disciplinary senior capstone projects. This handbook is a must for multi-disciplinary teams involved with university senior design programs. It applies the "tried and true" advanced technical design process used in industry to multi-disciplinary two-semester capstone projects that must be completed in an academic team setting. ABET considerations are included. It is written for both students and educators. It gives practical standards, templates, and suggestions to student teams as it guides them along the technology path from project inception to customer delivery. It is a guide for mentors, instructors, evaluators, sponsors, and university management who are responsible for implementing a university capstone program. It uses multi-disciplinary examples that were actually developed by the author. You will find this manual unique in that 1) it is written by a “real” engineer who has developed many products for industry and 2) has been tasked to apply this industry experience to a senior capstone curriculum taught for over a decade and more than 65 teams.
