Document Summary
Engineering design is the process through which engineering knowledge and skills are applied to real world problems. Understand and define the problem, task of the engineering design team. Usually only have a vague idea of the problem. Narrow down solutions to the one you want to pursue. Test and prototyping using engineering science and math. Develop your solution and you learn more. Construct or detail the final solution, might not always be the last stage since you may have to consider safety and other factors. Using this general process, you can save money and time and potentially come up with the best idea possible. This formal design process is not that strict, but keep in mind the orders of the stages. Actual costs: early stages don"t spend much comparing to the later stages. Costs committed curve: the costs determined based on decisions made early in the design process: early decisions determine the costs later on.
