The purpose of Applied Engineering Design is to help product development teams understand the product development process and develop a successful product. The course provides students a culminating and hands-on experience to apply their acquired knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems through an open-ended project. The topics in the book will help students integrate their engineering design into the overall product development process. These topics will facilitate successful product development, either for a class project, a small business, or a large enterprise. Therefore, students in other design classes or design challenges and product development professionals may also find this book helpful.

Dr. Aixi Zhou currently serves as the Vice Provost for Research and Innovation and is a professor of engineering at Norfolk State University. Prior to that appointment, he was the department chairperson in the Department of Applied Engineering Technology at North Carolina A&T State University from 2018 to 2024, and a professor in fire protection at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from 2007 to 2018. He also held positions at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and the University of California at San Diego. His research interests and publications are in the areas of fire protection, engineering materials and structures, manufacturing, and engineering education. He is the author or co-author of more than 100 technical publications. Dr. Zhou is a licensed Professional Engineer with a specialization in fire protection. He was elected a Fellow of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) in 2020.
Prof. Zhou is an advocate for hands-on and application-oriented engineering education. He is the author of textbooks Applied Engineering Experiments and Advanced Engineering Experiments, both published by Kendall Hunt.
Dr. Gerald J. Watson, Jr. earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology, was commissioned, and spent two years in the Army with the last tour in Vietnam. He returned to school to earn a Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering from North Carolina A&T State University in 2009 after working as a manufacturing engineer/ manager and safety manager for various companies and consultant for over thirty years. He has taught at the community college and the university level for over twenty years. Dr. Watson taught senior design courses or mentored senior design projects for many years. He retired from the Department of Applied Engineering Technology at North Carolina A&T State University in 2019. He is the author of the book Critical Thinking: Learning from Mistakes and How to Prevent Them and Integration of Methods Improvement and Measurement into Industrial Engineering Functions and ten papers at various conference proceedings. His research interests include the Reshoring of Manufacturing and the application of the suboptimal theory of Dr. John Nash of Princeton to real-world applications.
