Study Notes
Engineering Design and Computing
- Engineering Design & Computing is an interdisciplinary field requiring collaboration from various specialists.
- This field focuses on the development of products and systems that solve real-world problems.
- The process typically involves several stages, including:
- Requirements: Defining the needs and constraints of the project.
- Ideation: Generating ideas and concepts.
- Technical Drawings: Producing detailed representations of the design.
- Prototyping: Creating physical models to test and refine the design.
- Material Selection: Choosing materials based on their properties and sustainability.
- Manufacturing: Producing the final product.
- Several tools aid this process, like:
- Sketches: Simple representations of ideas used in the concept generation phase.
- Computer-Assisted Design (CAD): Software used to create 3D models and drawings.
- Additive Manufacturing: A technology for building 3D objects layer by layer.
- Ashby Diagrams: A tool for comparing and selecting materials based on their properties.
- Sustainable design is a key consideration in modern engineering design. This means designing products and systems that minimize their environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.
Sketching
- Sketching is a simple communication tool used in the early stages of design.
- It's often referred to as "napkin prototyping," as it allows for quick visualization of ideas.
- Sketching is often used during the concept generation phase.
- Common tools include pens, pencils, and tablets.
- Sketching is a learnable skill and can be improved through practice.
Sketching Process
- The sketching process consists of several steps:
- Define goals: Determine what you want to show, who your audience is, and the overall purpose of the sketch.
- Build a mental representation: Develop a clear mental image of the object or system you're sketching.
- Select a representation mode: Choose a sketching method that best suits your goals and the complexity of the design.
- Sketch: Draw the representation using the chosen tools and techniques.
- Validate: Review the sketch and ensure it accurately reflects your ideas and goals.
Sketching Goals
- Concept sketch: Shows the overall idea or concept.
- Function-oriented sketch: focuses on how the object or system works.
- Design sketch: Emphasizes the aesthetics and visual aspects of the design.
- Support sketch: Provides additional information about the design, such as dimensions or details.
Different Representations
- Sketches can be used to create different representations of a design, including:
- 2D model: A flat representation of the design, as seen from a specific angle.
- 3D model: A representation of the design in three dimensions, allowing for more detailed visualization.
- Photorealistic rendering: A digitally created image that looks like a photograph of the design.
Sketching Circles & Ellipses
- Circles: Can appear as ellipses in different projections, like isometric, cabinet, and orthogonal.
- Techniques: Two approaches can be used:
- Outside to inside: Start with the outline and then refine it, adding detail as needed.
- Inside to outside: Start with the basic structure and then gradually build up the details.
