Ten papers from an April 1990 regional conference on industrial design theory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, focus on computer-aided design. A second volume (see following entry) contains theoretical papers. Reproduced from the authors' copies; the line drawings are clear enough, but many of the computer images and photographs are quite muddy. No index. Acidic paper. Altogether a poor showing for a publication paid for in part by the Air Force. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
