Engineering Design


The engineering design process is a methodical series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. It is a decision making process (often iterative) in which the basic sciences, 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.

The stages of Engineering design includes research, conceptualisation, feasibility assessment, establishing design requirements, preliminary design, detailed design, production planning and tool design, and production.
