ENGINEERING ETHICS & DESIGN FOR PRODUCT

This new design guide focuses on product safety and engineering ethics for engineering students and technical professionals across many fields and industries. It presents a holistic approach to product design and safety named Design for Product Safety (DFPS), which strives to "design in" product safety characteristics early in the engineering process. The book covers safety, engineering ethics, product-safety concepts, hazard and risk, design considerations and guidance, warnings and manuals, product-safety engineering tools, and post-sale surveillance for product-safety defects and subsequent recalls.

This comprehensive new design guide is specifically tailored to cater to the needs of engineering students and technical professionals across a wide range of fields and industries. Authored from the perspective of an experienced product-safety manager at a prominent designer, manufacturer, and global distributor of mass-produced, innovative, and potentially hazardous consumer products, the book offers a holistic approach to product design and safety.

Named Design for Product Safety (DFPS), this approach aims to integrate product safety considerations into the engineering process from the very beginning. The book provides a detailed exploration of the product-design process, with a particular focus on the Engineering Design, Development, and Testing Phase (EDDTP). It delves into the definition of safety, engineering ethics, product-safety concepts, hazard and risk analysis, design considerations, the role of warnings and manuals, product-safety engineering tools, and post-sale surveillance for identifying and addressing product-safety defects and subsequent recalls.

Written in an open and unbiased manner, the book walks readers through the product-design process, emphasizing critical concepts, the application of safety-engineering methods, and the ethical principles that should guide both engineers and corporations. It encompasses all aspects of the product system, including the product itself, the user, and the use environment. Additionally, the book includes case studies, examples, and side discussions to enhance understanding and application of the material.

By providing a comprehensive and practical guide to product design and safety, this book is an invaluable resource for engineering students, professionals, and anyone involved in the development and manufacturing of consumer products. It equips readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of their designs, promoting a culture of product responsibility and ethical engineering practices.
