Design Process


Design is an iterative process with iterative phases
Methodology: Learning about the problem and picking a solution
–
–

Decision-making and planning
Problem solving
Objective: Creation of something new having a physical reality
–

Functional
Safe
Reliable
Competitive
Usable
Manufacturability
Marketable
Learn how to design (subject to certain
problem solving constraints) a
component (system or process) that
performs a specific task (subject to
certain solution constraints) optimally.

Starting a Design Process
To optimize we use mathematical
models to describe the physical
attributes and characteristics
Necessity is the mother of all
inventions – what is wrong with
existing solutions
What are you going to do about it?
Invention of the concept /
comparing the competitive
solutions / finding the most
competitive approach
Evaluation is proof of concept /
prototyping
Necessity is the mother of all
inventions – what is wrong with
existing solutions
If you cannot explain it, it does not
exist!
