Title: Introduction to Engineering Design


1
Introduction to Engineering Design
  • Definition of Design
  • Principle of Design
  • Design Process
  • Product Design
  • Process Design
  • Factors Involved in Design

2
Characteristics of an Engineering Science Problem
  • Problem statement is compact and well-posed
  • Problem has a readily identifiable closure
  • Solution is unique and compact
  • Problem uses specialized knowledge

3
Typical Engineering Science Problem Statement
  • A simply supported steel beam with a 3 diameter
    circular cross-section is loaded as shown.
    Determine the maximum stress and deflection.

Fig. 1.1
4
Another Typical Engineering Science Problem
Statement
  • How much current is flowing through the circuit
    0.1 sec after the switch is closed?

Fig. 1.2
5
Characteristics of an Engineering Design Problem
  • Problem statement is incomplete, ambiguous, and
    self-contradictory
  • Problem does not have a readily identifiable
    closure
  • Solutions are neither unique nor compact
  • Problem requires integration of knowledge from
    many fields

6
Typical Engineering Design Problem Statement
  • Design a system for lifting and moving loads of
    up to 5000 lb in a manufacturing facility . The
    facility has an unobstructed span of 50 ft. The
    lifting system should be inexpensive and satisfy
    all relevant safety standards.

ABET Definition of Design
  • Engineering design is the process of devising a
    system, component, or process to meet desired
    needs.
  • It is a decision-making process (often
    iterative), in which the basic sciences and
    mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied
    to convert resources optimally to meet a stated
    objective.
  • Among the fundamental elements of the design
    process are the establishment of objectives and
    criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction,
    testing, and evaluation.

12
ABET Definition of Design (cont.)
  • The engineering design component of a curriculum
    must include most of the following features
  • development of student creativity,
  • use of open-ended problems,
  • development and use of modern design theory and
    methodology,
  • formulation of design problem statements and
    specifications,
  • consideration of alternative solutions,
  • feasibility considerations,
  • production processes,
  • concurrent engineering design, and
  • detailed system descriptions.
  • Further, it is essential to include a variety of
    realistic constraints, such as economic factors,
    safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and
    social impact.

13
Nine Step Model of Design Process
  • 1. Recognizing the need
  • 2. Defining the problem
  • 3. Planning the project
  • 4. Gathering information
  • 5. Conceptualizing alternative approaches
  • 6. Evaluating the alternatives
  • 7. Selecting the preferred alternative
  • 8. Communicating the design
  • 9. Implementing the preferred design

Step 1 Recognizing the Need
  • Sandra Jane, we need you to design a stronger
    bumper for our new passenger car.
  • Jane Why do we need a stronger bumper?
  • Sandra Well, our current bumper gets easily
    damaged in low-speed collisions, such as those
    that occur in parking lots.
  • Jane Well, a stronger bumper may be the way to
    go, but there may be better approaches. For
    example, what about a more flexible bumper that
    absorbs the impact but then returns to its
    original shape?
  • Sandra I never thought of that. I guess I was
    jumping to conclusions. Lets restate the need
    as there is too much damage to bumpers in
    low-speed collisions. That should give you more
    flexibility in exploring alternative design
    approaches.

System Concepts
  • System collection of elements that interact to
    fulfill a function
  • Boundaries separate system from environment
  • Components smallest identifiable element of
    system
  • Subsystems collection of components
