COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:
It's important to understand that there are various framings/articulations of the engineering design process. Different terminology employed may have varying degrees of overlap, which affects what steps get stated explicitly or deemed "high level" versus subordinate in any given model. This, of course, applies as much to any particular example steps/sequences given here.
One example framing of the engineering design process delineates the following stages: research, conceptualization, feasibility assessment, establishing design requirements, preliminary design, detailed design, production planning and tool design, and production. Noting that we will address & define different phases of the design process with varying activities occurring within them – such as problem definition, conceptual design, preliminary design, detailed design, and design communication.
