APSC 100 Final: APSC 100 FINAL NOTES
Document Summary
Week 1 clarifying the design process: needs and specifications. Benefits: express stakeholder interests and wishes, uses the language of the stakeholder . Limitations: vague/imprecise, might contradict each other, subjective. A precise description of what the final design has to be or do. Requirements: must-haves : either pass or fail, must satisfy all requirements. Objectives: evaluation criteria, performance levels, satisfaction levels: more is better or less is better , separates the good design from the okay designs. Design is a process: engineering design is the process through which engineering knowledge and skills are applied to solve real work. Engineers rely on a systematic process design cycle: stage 0: problem, stage 1: study and clarify problem, stage 2: generate potential solutions. Try to identify as many possible ways of solving the problem: stage 3: identifying most promising solution. Analyze, refine, and develop the chosen solution: stage 4: develop and test solution.
