3. Laura A. Gerold, PE
What is a PE (Professional Engineer)?
To become licensed, engineers must
complete a four-year college degree,
work under a Professional Engineer for
at least four years, pass two intensive
competency exams and earn a license
from their state's licensure board. Then,
to retain their licenses, PEs must
continually maintain and improve their
skills throughout their careers (NSPE).
4. Laura A. Gerold, PE
What is a PE?
Only a licensed engineer may prepare,
sign and seal, and submit engineering
plans and drawings to a public authority
for approval, or seal engineering work for
public and private clients (NSPE).

Universal Language
Takes teamwork to put together a set of drawings
Technical Drawing are drawn by
Engineers
Architects
Drafters
Designers
Manufacturers
Technicians
33. TECHNICAL DRAWING
Technical drawings serve one of three purposes:
• Visualization
• Communication
• Documentation

36. Why draw by hand?
Small Projects
Back and forth exchange of ideas (Concept Drawings)
Engineer
Client
Engineer Mark-up
Final
Refining
Consensus Building
Better understanding of how to draw
37. Artistic vs. Technical Drawings
Artistic drawings are used to express aesthetic,
philosophic, or other abstract ideas.
Technical drawings are functional drawings to
represent the design of objects to be built or
constructed
38. Computer-Aided Design
and Product Development
Computer Aided Design (CAD)
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
CAD allows for a range of activities, from
modeling 2D and 3D geometry to creating
drawings that document the design for
manufacturing and legal considerations.
CAE allows users to simulate and analyze
structures that will be subject to various temperatures, static
loads, or fluctuating loads.
CAM provides computerized control for manufacturing processes.
40. Design Process
1. Problem identification: First, a clear statement of
the need for and objectives for the design must
be written.
2. Ideation (Concepts and Ideas): Technical
sketches are often used to convey concepts to
multidisciplinary teams.
3. Refinement/analysis (Comprise Solutions):
Designs may be rethought, based on
engineering analysis. CAD models and sketches
are useful during the analysis and compromise
stage. Accurate 2D or 3D CAD models and
drawings are created to refine the design.
4. Implementation/documentation (Creation of
Models & Prototypes): Production and/or working
drawings providing the details of manufacture
and assembly are finalized and approved.
41. ENGINEERING DESIGN STAGE 1
Identify the Customer and the Problem
The engineering design process begins
with recognizing or identifying these
needs and considering the economic
feasibility of fulfilling them.
A successful design must not only solve
the problem but also meet the needs and
wishes of the customer.
(Project developed and created by Philips Design.)
42. ENGINEERING DESIGN STAGE 2
Generate Concepts
During this stage, often called the ideation stage, many ideas—reasonable
and otherwise—are collected.
The ability to freely create
technical sketches lets you
present and share ideas and
record them so you can refer
to solutions, inspirations, and
breakthroughs that come to
light during this creative stage
of the process.
(Courtesy of Seymourpowell.)
43. ENGINEERING DESIGN STAGE 3
Compromise Solutions
The design team
selects various features
of the concepts
generated in the
ideation stage and
combines them into one
or more promising
compromise solutions.

Many of these problems are solved graphically, using schematic drawings in which
various parts are shown in skeleton form. For example, pulleys and gears are
represented by circles, an arm by a single line, and a path of motion by centerlines
44. ENGINEERING DESIGN STAGE 4
Models and Prototypes
Design teams often
construct a model to
scale to study, analyze,
and refine a design.

to act as a virtual prototype for the design. (Courtesy of Byron Johns.)

45. ENGINEERING DESIGN STAGE 5
Production or Working Drawings
The drawings, showing the
necessary views, include
the material, dimensions,
required tolerances, notes,
and other information
needed to describe each
part sufficiently for it to be
manufactured consistently.
These drawings of the
individual parts are also
known as detail drawings.

46. Design Process Activity
The design process helps engineers, technicians, and other
problem-solvers come up with creative solutions. You are
an engineer. Choose ONE engineering problem below, and
follow apply the design process steps to invent a
solution.
A. Your new pet kitten is trapped in a ten foot deep hole. You
need a contraption to safely rescue your poor animal.
B. You are going on vacation for a month and can’t find
anyone to water your plants while you’re gone. You need a
device that will give your plants the right amount of water –
not too much and not too little.
C. You like to read before you go to sleep, but you don’t have a
bedside lamp. You need a way to turn off the light switch
across the room without having to get out of bed.
47. Evaluation and Extension:
1. What problem did you choose? Brainstorm ways to
solve the problem and list several possible solutions.
2. Choose one idea. Draw a detailed picture of the
solution you chose. Label the drawing to explain what
each part is made out of, how the parts fit together,
and how it will work.
3. Where do you think you will run into problems with
your solution? Where do you think the weak parts in
your creation will be?
48. Concurrent Engineering
Traditionally, design and manufacturing activities have taken place in sequential
order rather than concurrently (simultaneously). This step-by-step approach
seems logical, but in practice it has been found to be wasteful.
Concurrent engineering
is a systematic approach that integrates
the design and manufacture of products
with the goal of optimizing all elements
involved in the life cycle of the product.
The Concurrent Process
49. Life Cycle Design
Life cycle design means that all
aspects of a product (such as design,
development, production, distribution,
use, and its ultimate disposal and
recycling) are considered
simultaneously.
The basic goals of concurrent
engineering are to minimize product
design and engineering changes and to
reduce the time and cost involved in
taking a product from design concept
through production and ultimately to
introduction into the marketplace.
50. Assembly Drawings
An assembly drawing, shows how all the parts go together in
the complete product.

51. DRAFTING STANDARDS
There are standards that support a uniform, effective graphic language for
use in industry, manufacturing, engineering, and science.
In the United States, providing these
standards has been the work of the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) with the American Society for
Engineering Education (ASEE), the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE),
and the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME).
International standards, often defined by
the International Organization for
Standardization (IOS), and the ASME or
ANSI standards for drawing practices are
similar in many respects.
