3. Engineering Design
Engineering definition;
The application of science, knowledge
and skills to solve problems and provide
solutions in general beneficial to
humankind
The Design Process
6. What makes a good design ?
Fit for purpose
Cost effective
Successful ?
Iconic
Long lasting
Does the job its design for in the
most effective, efficient manner.
The Design Process
7. Factors affecting design
performance
Cost effective
Satisfies service requirements
Can be made – achievable
Like this ?
9. The design process 1 – Recognition of
the problem to be solved
BRIEF
Recognition of problem
Identification of needs
Recognition of situation
INVESTIGATION
Research in topic – what exists already
Collation of relevant information
Analysis of topic
Specification of requirements
The Design Process
10. The design process 2 – Creative phase
IDEAS
Generation of realistic ideas to satisfy product
design brief and functional requirements
EVALUATION
Evaluation of ideas against the specification
Identification of proposed solution
DEVELOPING
Sketching, modeling refining proposed solutions
The Design Process
14. The design process
In engineering we use the design
process to provide solutions to problems
– by applying a logical set of stages. In
reality these are usually reduced in
length because of;
Previous experience / knowledge
Custom and practice
What the competition are doing
The Design Process
