为了加快培养具有国际竞争力的高水平技术人才，加快我国高等教育改革的步伐，教育部近来出台了一系列倡导高校开展英语或双语教学、引进原版教材的政策。引进国外优秀原版教材，在有条件的学校推动开展英语授课或双语教学，自然也引进了先进的教学思想和教学方法，这对提高我国自编教材的水平，加强学生的英语实际应用能力，使我国的高等教育尽快与国际接轨，必将起到积极的推动作用。
　　Mechanical Engineering Design为美国密歇根大学Joseph E．Shigley教授等著，1956年，Joseph E.Shigley教授独自开始编写机械工程设计教材，后逐渐发展成为目前的机械工程设计教材。Joseph E．Shigley于1994年5月去世，其合作者仍然以Joseph E．Shigley教授的名义出版修订版至目前的第七版。修订版继续沿用原教材的基本内容和编写体系，可见该教材深受美国业内人士的广泛认同和欢迎。书中内容涵盖了设计过程、工程力学与材料、静载荷与动载荷下的防止失效、典型机械零部件设计等内容，提供了大量解决工程实际问题的方法和实例。该教材一直受到我国从事机械设计教学和研究人员的重视。作为国外的教材，高等教育出版社曾组织该书第三版（1980年）和第四版（1988年）的翻译出版工作，从而使国内同行深入了解和掌握美国机械设计相关课程的教学内容、体系、方法和发展，取得了很好的效果。机械工业出版社于2002年出版了该书（第六版）的英文影印版，为国内机械设计课程的双语教学起到了积极的推动作用。
