Design of Electromechanical Products ─ A Systems Approach

This book provides guidelines and best practices for the design and development of electromechanical products. It covers the entire product life cycle, from initial concept to design and development, through product support. It is intended for professional engineers, designers, and technical managers. The book provides a gateway into developing a product’s design history file (DHF) and its associated device master record (DMR). These tools enable design engineers to communicate a product’s design, manufacturability, and service procedures with various cross-functional teams.

Ali Jamnia enjoys teaching and mentoring junior engineers. His primary expertise lies in electromechanical systems design and development. In addition, he enjoys conducting analysis of various engineering problems using numerical approximations and computer simulations. Dr. Jamnia has focused on the issues of electronics packaging since the early 1990s, and since 1995, has been involved with the development of medical devices. He is passionate about innovative electronics systems to aid individuals with either physical or cognitive disabilities. In fact, his prime achievement has been the development of a specialized computer system called the Learning Station^TM - used as a teaching tool for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Currently, he is the reliability lead for a family of medical infusion pumps.
