&ourse Descri3tion
The engineering design process, product development process, establishing need, design proposal,
formulating the problem, structuring the search for a solution - design goals and specifications, acquiring,
applying and protecting technical knowledge, abstraction and modeling, synthesis in engineering design,
risk, reliability and safety design, design analysis - alternative designs, prioritizing the design goals, decision
matrix and economic analysis, implementation - transforming a design concept into reality, materials
selection in design, manufacturing processes, cost evaluation, ethics and product liability issues, case studies
Sco3e
This course is designed to impart the knowledge required to develop a new design understand the
opportunity, develop and implement a concept. fter the successful completion of this course, students shall
be able to understand and implement the various processes, tools and techniques required for successful
design like identifying the need, design specification development, concept generation, concept evaluation
and selection, concept testing and embodiment, design for !, analytical and numerical models, physical
prototypes, models and experimentation.
2)4ectives
The students will be able to
understand engineering design and its importance
comprehend the design and its process
recognise a problem and solve in a systematic manner through design
