Make and test projects are used as introductory design experiences in almost every engineering educational institution world wide. "Make and Test Projects in Engineering Design" provides a serious examination of the design of make and test projects and their associated educational values. A taxonomy is provided for the design of make and test projects as well as a catalogue of technical information about unconventional engineering materials and energy sources. Case studies are included based on the author's experience of supervising make and test projects for over twenty-five years. This is the first book that formalizes this important aspect of early learning in engineering design and will be an invaluable teaching tool and resource for educators in engineering design.
