Document Summary
Engineering design process where engineers evaluate situations and generate solutions to achieve client and user"s needs. Design objective feature or behavior design is desired to have. Design constraint limit or restriction to the design (must cost less than ) Functions things a device or system should do. Means a way to make something happen (friction is a means of applying braking force) Metric standard of measuring the achievement of a design"s objectives. Specifications specify values or measurements of design features. Designs must cope with the system they are working in (airline, office, home) Three s"s when managing a design project: scope what a project must do to be successful, schedule make sure project is done on time, spending make sure uses only the resources necessary or specified. During design process, you should ask a lot of questions: establish objectives, identify constraints, establish functions, establish specifications, design alternatives, model and analyze, test and evaluate, refine and optimize, document and communicate.
