    Study Notes

    • Engineering design is a process used to address major world problems, involving steps like determining needs, creating a vision, and delivering on that vision.
    • The iterative design process involves defining a problem, collecting information, brainstorming solutions, testing those solutions, and continuously refining the problem definition based on feedback.
    • The Wright Brothers exemplified the iterative design process by rigorously testing their ideas and focusing on error correction to achieve success in developing the first sustained powered flight.
    • An important aspect of the design process is the iterative error correction step, which allows for continuous improvement and the correction of mistakes.
    • Knowledge, whether theoretical or experiential, plays a crucial role in the design process and helps accelerate problem-solving.
    • Mathematics forms the foundational knowledge for engineers, enabling them to understand abstract relationships and apply principles across different domains.
    • Collaboration within a diverse team is essential for successful engineering design, as diverse perspectives and knowledge types can lead to more innovative solutions.
    • Effective language and communication skills are key tools for engineering designers to understand each other's viewpoints, communicate technical content, and solve complex problems efficiently.
