The Engineering Design Process

Elements of the design process:

-Problem identification
-Research phase
-Requirements specification
-Concept generation
-Design phase
-Prototyping phase
-System integration
-Maintenance phase


What is the problem?

1. Collect information
2. Interpret information
3. Organize needs hierarchy
4. Determine relative importance of needs
5. Review outcomes and process


Requirements specifications:

-Identifies requirements design must satisfy for success.

1.Marketing requirements
- custom needs

2.Engineering requirements
- applies to technical aspects
- performance requirements


Example engineering requirements:

- Performance and functionality
- Reliability
- Energy
