Design thinking represents a novel methodology for developing projects. Instead of focusing on the project itself, the main driver is the end user. The book takes the trainee engineer through the various stages of design thinking and provides case studies and tools for them to use to practice.

This book provides a broad and balanced span of information, covering both fundamentals and applications across academic and industrial state-of-the-art activities on assembly, joining and repair of high-performance structures made from fibre-reinforced polymer composites.
