General Engineering Introduction/CDIO/design

The Design Process Requirements for each element or component derived from system level goals and requirements Alternatives in design The initial design Experiment prototypes and test articles in design development Appropriate optimization in the presence of constraints Iteration until convergence The final design Accommodation of changing requirements The Design Process Phasing and Approaches The activities in the phases of system design (e.g. conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design) Process models appropriate for particular development projects (waterfall, spiral, concurrent, etc.) The process for single, platform and derivative products Utilization of Knowledge in Design Technical and scientific knowledge Creative and critical thinking, and problem solving Prior work in the field, standardization and reuse of designs (including reverse engineer and redesign) Design knowledge capture Disciplinary Design Appropriate techniques, tools, and processes Design tool calibration and validation Quantitative analysis of alternatives Modeling, simulation and test Analytical refinement of the design Multidisciplinary Design Interactions between disciplines Dissimilar conventions and assumptions Differences in the maturity of disciplinary models Multidisciplinary design environments Multidisciplinary design Multi-Objective Design (DFX) Performance, life cycle cost and value Aesthetics and human factors Implementation, verification, test and environmental sustainability Operations Maintainability, reliability, and safety Robustness, evolution, product improvement and retirement
