ABSTRACT
Planning and design are the key activities that are used, together with management, to bring engineering projects from the initial concept stage through to successful implementation. Our prime goal in preparing this book has been to explain how engineering planning and design work is carried out. In the first ten chapters we have introduced basic concepts and have described procedures that are used in engineering planning and design. In Chapters 11 to 13 we have presented some analytic techniques that find frequent use in the detailed phases of planning and design.
