    The document outlines the engineering design process. It discusses that the process begins with recognizing a need and formulating the problem through exploration and clarification. This is followed by identifying potential solutions through proposal, strategy, and options identification. The potential solutions are then synthesized, analyzed, optimized, and evaluated based on factors like reliability, competitiveness, and safety. Throughout the process, tools, resources, codes, and standards are used to achieve safety and efficiency. Finally, the design is delivered through effective communication and presentation.

    THE

    ENGINEERING
    DESIGN
    PROCESS
    MET639: Technical Project & Report Dr. M. Ouerfelli 1
    DESIGNING
    Inherent in human nature most often
    driven by needs:

    Traditionally

     designing is making

    These days

     designing before/for making

    MET639: Technical Project & Report Dr. M. Ouerfelli 2


    PHASES IN DESIGN

    MET639: Technical Project & Report Dr. M. Ouerfelli 3


    RECOGNITION OF NEED
    This may not be evident

    Design Brief  goal, constraints,


    criteria … usually ill-defined and
    vague

     No definitive formulation of the


    problem

     Inconsistencies, conflicting criteria

     Formulation of the problem is solution


    dependent

     No definitive solution

    MET639: Technical Project & Report Dr. M. Ouerfelli 4


    PROBLEM
    IDENTIFICATION
    To define all specs.

    Exploration

     Clarify problem statement and define


    the problem further (question client,
    collect data, conduct research, etc.)

    Proposal:

     Tentative idea… visualization is key

    Strategy:

     Identify number of options…explore


    best one

    MET639: Technical Project & Report Dr. M. Ouerfelli 5


    WHAT FOLLOWS
    Synthesis

     connecting elements/components

    Analysis & Optimization

     revise, improve, discard, optimize for best


    performance

    Evaluation:

     Reliability, any recalls?

     Competitiveness?

     Economical to make? Profit?

     Maintainability?

     Product liability? Safety? Insurance?

    REFERENCES
    Tools & Resources

     Computers / software packages

     References (books, catalogs, brochures, etc.)

     Technical Information (libraries, gov. sources, prof.


    societies, vendors, internet, etc.)

    Codes & Standards

     Codes: specs. for analysis, design, manufacturing,


    construction … to achieve a specified degree of safety

     Standards: specs. for parts, materials, processes,


    efficiency, quality …
    MET639: Technical Project & Report Dr. M. Ouerfelli 7
    DELIVERY

    Communication & Presentation

     must be done successfully

    Otherwise

     Time wasted

     Proficiency compromised
