Engineering Design Distinguished from Engineering Research

A Research Work is DIFFERENT from an Engineering Design.

An Engineering Design Course should NOT be treated as a Research Course.

Engineering Design

What is Engineering?
Engineering can be defined as the application of practical and scientific knowledge to the solving
of a problemthrough the use of a methodical process.At its most fundamental level, engineering is
problem solving.

Some forms of engineering solutions can be:

 creation of a physical thing to solve a problem
 creation or improvement of a process
 determination of why something happened the way it did
 development of a practical application for the benefit of humanity, among others.

3
What is Engineering Design?
Engineering Design is thinking of and creating something new, or adopting something old to
solve a problemand/or satisfy a need.

What is the Engineering Design Process?

 The engineering design process is a series of stepsthat engineers follow when they are
trying to solve a problemand design a solutionfor something.
 It is a methodical approachto problem solving.
 There is no single universally accepted design process.
 The process generally starts with a problem and ends with a solution, but the middle steps
can vary.

Examples of Engineering Solutions in Car Manufacturing

 Acoustical Engineers might work on minimizing road noise within the car, or improve the
design of the car’s stereo and speaker system, or even work to improve the sound of the
cars engine.
 Aeronautical Engineers would be involved in improving the aerodynamics of the car to
reduce drag and maximize gas mileage.
 Automotive Engineers are a specialized type of engineers who utilize the skills of many of
the other branches of engineering listed here, and would be involved in most aspects of
the car design.
 Ceramic Engineers work with inorganic, non-metal materials, and might develop special
ceramic composites (combinations of multiple materials) for use in heat shielding, or
bearings. Some high-end cars use specially engineered ceramic brakes.
 Computer Engineers would be involved in creating the firmware (software embedded in the
car’s microchips) of the car.
 Control Engineers, Electrical Engineers, and Electronic Engineers would work on
designing & integrating the car’s electrical system, software, and sensors.
 Environmental Engineers would be involved in making sure the car meets all emissions
requirements.
 Heating, Ventilating, Refrigerating & Air-Conditioning Engineers might be involved in
creating the car’s heat and air conditioning systems.
 Systems Engineers & Industrial Engineers would be involved in the management and
supervision of the car creation process.
 Manufacturing Engineers would determine how to make the individual components of the
car.
 Materials Engineers would help create new materials for use in the car construction.
 Mechanical Engineers would work on the design of the mechanical aspects of the car;
anything from the transmission to the engine to the suspension to the design of the snaps
that hold the seats onto the frame.
 Optical Engineers work on lenses and other optical instruments. They would design the
car’s mirrors and windows.
 Plastics Engineers would create plastic types for use in the car’s construction.
 Process Engineers would be required to determine the best way to make the car and to
ensure it is built correctly.

4
  Structural Engineers might be involved in the creation of the car’s chassis and frame.
 Thermal Engineers would work on the complex heat transfer systems, such as the engine
cooling and exhaust.

Engineering Research

What is Engineering Research?

 Engineering research is concerned with creating information, concepts, principles and
programs on which the design and production of engineering products and systems can be
based.
 Engineering research utilizes and extends the knowledge-base of mathematics and of the
various disciplines of the physical sciences.
 Engineering research is concerned with creating information, concepts, principles and
programs on which the design and production of engineering products and systems can be
based.
 Engineering research utilizes and extends the knowledge base of mathematics and of the
various disciplines of the physical sciences, particularly physics, chemistry, metallurgy and
geology.
 The knowledge base of the physical sciences and mathematics serves engineering by
enabling the establishment of bounds for those operational principles which can be
realized in both hardware and software.
 The extension of this knowledge base in engineering research occurs through studies of
materials, processes and mathematical formulations that deepen understanding of what
can be practically achieved. This aspect of engineering research is commonly called
engineering science.
 Much of the continuing research and development in what is known as classical science is
done by engineers in the context of engineering science. This research develops the
understanding and insight needed for effective design.
 Engineering is not, therefore, simply applied science. It develops and utilizes a distinctive
body of operational principles to be realized with materials, devices, products, processes
and systems. It also draws on a range of other disciplines including economics,
psychology, human relations, the life sciences and management. In its application,
engineering is inherently multidisciplinary.
 In contrast, the basic objective of pure science is the discovery of fundamental knowledge
and the creation of a deeper understanding of the physical world. Fundamental knowledge
is distinctive in that it establishes general principles applicable over diverse circumstances.
The quality of basic science is judged by its generality and verifiability. The competent
judges of scientific accomplishment are other pure scientists of stature, i.e. a peer group.
 There is a continuum of research and development from basic science through applied
science to engineering. Across this spectrum, the focus shifts from pure contributions to
knowledge towards satisfying the immediate needs of society. The time scale for the
usefulness of results becomes shorter as the production of a particular product or system
is approached.

5
  Most pure research is carried out in universities and government research establishments.
Engineering research is often performed in universities when it is pre-competitive in an
industrial context and when it is of a medium-term to long-term nature. As the objectives
become more competitive, more immediate, and more specifically dependent on the
circumstances of end use, engineering research and development is normally carried out
in industry.

Example of Engineering Research

Studies of materials, processes and mathematical formulations that deepen understanding of what
can be practically achieved.

ABET Requirements on Engineering Design

Related ABET Student Outcomes (SOs)

The following ABET student outcomes are related to the design project course:
1. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,
manufacturability, and sustainability (student outcome c)
2. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (student outcome e)
3. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global,
economic, environmental, and societal context (student outcome h)
4. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice(student outcome k)

ABET Criterion 5. Curriculum

Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a major
design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and
incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.

2. The Use of Engineering Trade-offs

A trade off strategy should be applied to arrive at the best design. Every constraint should have a
trade-off that will offer an opportunity to formulate creative design solutions. The potential selection
trade-off is characterized by performance, economic, safety, environmental consideration, or other
aspects that will influence the final design. A trade-off on performance can specify industry
standards as a parameter in the design process.

A trade-off strategy, in consideration of all applicable constraints, should be applied to arrive at the
best design. A suggested reference on trade-offs strategies in engineering design by Otto and
Antonsson (1999) can be accessed at –
