Document Summary
Lecture 1 & 2 - sep 10 - 11 2015. Engineering strategies and practice is: design - communication - teamwork. Iron ring - a symbol of commitment to mindful habits of practice. Quebec bridge -> calculations not checked, 75 people killed: design process -> critical thinking process. Managing information more effectively reduce error - due diligence: investigating from multiple perspectives, finding relevant regulations, being through and careful, documentations, basic generic process. Detailed design implementation: step 1 - defining the problem, design processes. Design methodologies differ from field to field -> all follow same basic process terminology defers from field to field -> problem definition = scoping document = requirements = specifications: project requirements -> describing the what"s not there. Going from the want to the need -> the gap which implies or describes the scope solution independent -> leave out solutions - not solution driven.
