Document Summary

The engineer should have checked to see if the design was able to be made with readily available materials before finalizing the design to prevent collapse. Three roles in design: client someone who wants the design conceived. Internal or external clients: user someone who will employ or operate whatever is being designed, designer job is to solve (cid:272)lie(cid:374)t"s problem while meeting their needs, questions to clarify user user designer client device environment. Design objective: feature or behaviours the we want the design to have or exhibit. Design constraint: limit or restriction on the features or behaviours. Specifications (engineering/design specifications): scale on which the achievement of a design functions can be measured: values, procedures, performance level. Design theory: design is an activity that intends to produce a description of an artifice in terms of its organization and functioning. Communication among and between stakeholders remains a preeminent, consistent, and ongoing concern: spoken and written language, numbers and equations, rules, charts, pictures.
