Project Design Reviews mentors design teams through rigorous design thinking that will produce credible, valuable design products. In a world where design errors and rework cause excessive project costs or failed products, critical review cannot be overlooked. Thus, learning and practicing formal design reviews prepare graduating engineers and others for design success in the future.This book leads design teams through key steps in the design process and provides templates for documenting the process and intermediate design products. Design reviews are specified at three stages of design: problem scoping, concept generation, and solution realization. Design teams are mentored in planning the review, conducting the review, and determining outcomes of the review. Desigfn reviews may be conducted by experts or by peers. Using peer review provides learners dual opportunities: to be reviewed and to serve as reviewers, so they learn to think like designers and judges.In the end, this book prepares design teams to produce valuable design products, become experienced design reviewers, and be confident in their own design work.
