Breakout sessionEngineering DesignSome QuestionsWhat is engineering design?Who participates?What processes are needed?How is success measured?Textbook Definition ofEngineering DesignDesign is a systematic processThere are formal methods for this processThe form and function of a design are separate yet relatedDesign specifications detail how the design should perform, and provide a metric for successThe systematic, intelligent generation and evaluation ofspecifications for things/devices whose form and function achieve stated objectives while satisfying given constraintsHistory of DesignPeople have been designing things for a long timeExamples of great designs from antiquity:Great Pyramids in EgyptMayan Cities and TemplesGreat Wall of ChinaNo records survive from these projectsBasic design method in the past (and present)Trial and ErrorDesign Evolution: PyramidsMastabaDesign Evolution: PyramidsStep PyramidDesign Evolution: PyramidsBent PyramidFrom Design To ManufactureIdeaDesignManufactureSpecificationsFailure in CommunicationPlace: Regency Hyatt Hotel, Kansas CityDate: July 17, 1981Result: 114 deaths more than 200 injurieshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oWFDqlSczMExample: Collapse of a WalkwayNew PracticesDesign for ManufacturingIncorporate manufacturing into design specificationsConcurrent EngineeringDesigners & manufacturing specialists working togetherDesign In A System Context Design is intended to produce a description of an artifice in terms of its organization and functioning – its interface between inner and outer environmentHerbert A. SimonEngineering Design Is DifficultDesign problems are ill-definedThe purpose of the design is not always clearDesign problems are ill-structuredCannot directly apply formulas or algorithmsUse-cases and operating environments not fully knownDesign problems are open-endedProblems usually have several acceptable solutionsTradeoffs change as technology evolvesManaging Engineering DesignPlanningOrganizingLeadingControllingHow would you go about managinga complex engineering project?Today’s Guest SpeakerJim
