Mechanical engineering design
The basic engineering design process
The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. The process includes a number of standard steps, as Uddin explains here.
As you watch this video, try to think of resources which you would need or which could help you for the following steps:
Establishing the task specifications
Brainstorming initial ideas and concepts
Using simulation to check the feasibility of the design
Producing a prototype
Testing and improving your design
