Engineering Design
What it is?
What is Design? In an engineering context, the word "Design" refers to problem solving, i.e., the application of engineering science and technology to solve real-world problems. Design is at the heart of mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical, and computer engineering. Much of what practicing engineers do is design, or is analylsis done in support of design. Even engineers and scientists who perform research must often design apparatus in the course of their research.
Engineering Design
What it is?
Design is simultaneously a creative, analytical, and cumulative process. While a certain amount of design can be taught in a lecture format, design is often best learned by hands-on experience. This course will introduce to the broader notion of engineering design, while primarily focusing on the design domain traditionally known as "mechanical design."
Engineering Design
What it is?
Most Design problems fall into one of the two categories: Product Design Systems Design Product Design is the creation, testing and manufacture of an item that usually will be mass produced, such as an appliance, a tool, or a toy.

Engineering Design
What it is?
System Design combines products and their components into a unique arrangement and provides a method for their operation.
A residential building is a system of products consisting of heating and cooling, pluming, gas, electricity and other products.

What it is?
Technical in nature,
Used to fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items, and is usually Created in accordance with standardized conventions for layout, nomenclature, interpretation, appearance (such as typefaces and line styles), size, etc.

Design Process
Design is a process of creating a product or system to satisfy a set of requirements and final design is created at a profit or within the budget. The six steps of the design process are:

Line Styles:
Common features
visible - are continuous lines used to depict edges directly visible from a particular angle.
hidden - are short-dashed lines that may be used to represent edges that are not directly visible. center - are alternately long- and short-dashed lines that may be used to represent the axes of circular features.

Line Styles continued----:
Common features
cutting plane - are thick, medium-dashed lines, or thick alternately long- and double short-dashed that may be used to define sections for section views. section - are thin lines in a parallel pattern used to indicate surfaces in section views resulting from "cutting." Section lines are commonly referred to as "cross-hatching."

Graphical projection is a protocol by which an image of an imaginary three-dimensional object is projected onto a plane surface by the use of imaginary "projectors".
Graphical projection contains three broad categories each
with its own protocol:
orthographic oblique , and perspective

used. Why?
Describing three-dimensional objects in words are difficult Drawing any object as a three-dimensional pictorial is difficult
To make drawing such objects less difficult, engineers devised a standard system, called Orthographic Projection, for showing objects in different views.

Engineering Design
Orthographic projection - show the object as it looks from the front, right, left, top, bottom, or back. Separate views represent the object at 90 degrees intervals as the viewer moves about it.

Engineering Design
Orthographic projection The maximum number of principal views in orthographic projection is six. These views must be sketched in their standard position. Seldom is an object so complex that it requires six orthographic views. Most objects are adequately describe with three orthographic views- usually the top, front and right-side views.

This first-angle projection arrangement of views is considered satisfactory in most European drafting practice. In the United States, it is considered illogical because the top view 32 is below the front view.
