  1. Engineering Design

  2. Seven Resources Used to Create Technology • People • Information • Time • Capital • Machines and Tools • Materials • Energy

  3. Engineering • The systematic application of mathematical, scientific, and technical principles to yield tangible products that meet our needs and desires. • Has evolved as civilization has progressed, with each generation building on the accomplishments of its predecessors.

  4. Engineers • Problem solvers • Personal Characteristics • Creativity • Resourcefulness • Ability to visualize and think abstractly

  5. Constraints on design process • Safety • Reliability • Economic Considerations • Quality control • Environmental concerns • Manufacturability • Maintenance • Human factors engineering (ergonomics)

  6. Design Principles • Design is the result of a formal, sequential process • Design problems seldom arise in clearly defined form • Design is driven by profit motive and market • Design requirements sometimes compete with each other • Design is the result of goal oriented research • Designs must be continually checked, refined, and improved
