Reihe: Computers in Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Grounded in Systems Engineering principles and focusing on natural and human-made systems, this textbook examines discrete products that integrate with Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Software Engineering, Computer Hardware Engineering, Control Engineering, Ergonomics, and RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety). The textbook is organized into eight parts and sixteen chapters, each structured with an introduction, learning objectives, content, learning outcomes, review questions, and bibliography.

Functional Reverse Engineering: A Systems Approach for Product Development presents a rigorous examination of Functional Reverse Engineering principles for discrete products across various industrial sectors. The textbook employs a systematic methodology encompassing innovation, multidisciplinary collaboration, mass customization, and sustainability. Rooted in empirical observation, experimental validation, and iterative refinement, this methodology applies to products incorporating thermodynamic and fluidic processes with mechanical encapsulation that integrates UI and UX design. The text investigates how product processes are managed through computer software, hardware, and control engineering, extending to the Fifth Industrial Revolution, including space systems and quantum computing. Each chapter includes a case study and questions to reinforce critical analysis.

Authored by practicing engineers with extensive experience in Engineering Design and Manufacturing, this textbook serves undergraduate students, graduate students, and industry professionals.

Instructors receive a solutions manual, PowerPoint slides, and figure slides to support course adoption.
