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 science 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. 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 specification,
consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, production
processes, concurrent engineering design, and detailed system description.
Further it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints, such as
economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.
