DESIGN ENGINEERING

1. HOW ENGINEERING SKETCHES CONVEY DESIGN ?

In brief, graphic images are used to communicate with other designers, the client,
and the manufacturinge organization. Sketches and drawings:
• serve as a launching pad for a brand-new design;
• support the analysis of a design as it evolves;
• simulate the behavior or performance of a design;
• record the shape or geometry of a design;
• communicate design ideas among designers;
• ensure that a design is complete (as a drawing and its associated marginalia may
remind us of still-undone parts of that design);
• communicate the final design to the manufacturing specialists.

2. COMMUNICATION DESIGN THROUGH ORAL COMMUNICATION ?

• We communicate final design results in several ways, including oral presentations,
final reports (that may include design drawings and/or fabrication specifications),
and prototypes and models.
• The primary purpose of such communication is to inform our client about the
design, including explanations of how and why this design was chosen over competing
design alternatives.
• KEY POINTS AMONG ORAL COMMUNICATION
1. Identify the audience
2. Outline the presentation
3. Develop appropriate supporting materials
4. Practice the presentation

3. EXPLAIN ABOUT BIO MIMICING ?

• “Biomimicry borrows nature's blueprints, recipes, processes, and ecosystem
strategies and then comes up with design principles to solve our own problems.
EXAMPLES
• Trumpet or smoking pipe is inspired from elephent or angel trumpet flower.
• Injection inspired from snake fang
• Multi storyd house designed from swallow nest

4. EXPLAIN LIFE CYCLE OF DESIGN ?

• A design intervention which takes into consideration all the phases of a product’s
 life cycle
• Development
• Production
• Distribution
• Use
• Maintenance
• Disposal
• Recovery
As a design approach, Life Cycle Design is characterized by three main aspects:
• the perspective broadened to include the entire life cycle;
• the assumption that the most effective interventions are those made in
the first phases of design;
• the simultaneity of the operations of analysis and synthesis on the various
aspects of the design problem.
Main phases of a product’s life cycle
• Recognition and design development
• Pre-production
• Production
• Distribution
• Use
• Retirement

5. HOW ENGINEERING STUDENTS CAN LEARN DESIGN ENGINEERING

THROUGH PROJECTS ?
Engineering students can learn design engineering through projects by actively
engaging in the entire design process.
Key aspects of learning design engineering through projects:
• Define the problem
• Research and brain strom
• Develop designs
• Prototype and test

6. EXPLAIN MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE ?

• MATHEMATICAL MODELS are central to design because we have to be able to
predict the behavior of the devices or systems that we are designing.
Basic Principles of Mathematical Modeling (SIGNIFICANCE)
 • Why do we need a model?
• For what will we use the model? •
• What do we want to find with this model? •
• What data are we given? •
• What can we assume?
• • Can we verify the model’s predictions (i.e., are our calculations correct?) •
• Are the predictions valid (i.e., do our predictions conform to what we
observe?) •
• Can we improve the model?

7. DESIGN A HEIGHT ADJESTABLE TABLE ?

a) PROBLEM STATEMENT
To draw a detailed 2d draing of height adhestable table
b) OBJECTIVES
• Its height should be adjestable
• Leight weight
• Portable
• Considerable strength
c) CONSTRAINS
• Material should be alloy
• Cost should be under 2000
• Must be height adjestable
• It should have wooden surface
d) Material selection

FRAME • Iron with grip

• Wood
• Aluminium TOP SURFACE
• Iron • FIBRE
• Steel • PLASTIC
• WOOD
BASE • STEEL
• WOOD WITH RUBBER • GLASS
GRIP

 8. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED WHILE CREATING TECHNICAL REPORTS FOR
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION ?
1. Know your purpose : Just as we want to understand what the designed object
must be and must do, we need to understand the goals of a report or
presentation.
2. Know your audience : When documenting a design, it is essential that a design
team structure its materials to its targeted audience.
3. Choose and organize the content around your purpose and your audience
4. Write precisely and clearly : Some specific elements that seem to occur in all
good writing and presentations.
5. . Design your pages well : A long section divided into several subsections helps
readers to understand where the long section is going, and it sustains their
interest over the journey
6. Think visually : Just as designers often find that visual approaches are helpful
to them, audiences are helped by judicious use of visual representation of
information.
7. Write ethically! : All results or test outcomes, even those that are not
favorable, are presented and discussed.

9. PREPARE A TECHNICAL REPORT FOR NELY DESIGNED PORTABLE LADDER ?

[optional]
10. Design a head set ?
[Optional ]

11. EXPLAIN BENEFITS PF MODULAR DESIGNING AND DESIGN A BYCYCLE ?

• Minimizing cost
• Design of a singe part is easier as designer can concentrate only in one section
• Module can be separately improved without affecting the entire product
• A part of module can be updated
• Replacement of a parts becomes cheaper
• Shorten the design cycle
• Improves reliability and quality

DESIGNING A CYCLE
a) CLARIFY THE TASK :
• Designing a cycle used for transportation without using any forms or
external energy like petrol or diesel electricity.

b) ESTABLISHING FUNCTION STRUCTURE

• Cycle should be durable and should have considerable strengtgh
• Tyres of cycle should have considerable grip
• Handle should be comfortable to hold
• Seat should be solft
c) SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS AND PRINCIPLES
• For durability and strength alloy of metals can be used as alloys are rust
proof too.
• Tyres can be made of polymer hich have considerable grooves for grip
• For comfortable handle it can be wrapped with rubber handle grip
• Seat can be made of foam materail wrapped with polymer covering
d) SELECTING AND EVALUATING
• COLOURS : black ,green ,red ,grey .
• Material for frame : steel ,alloy ,aluminium[alloy selected]
• Material for tyre : rubber ,polymer[polymer selected]
• Material for seat :foam , rubber ,wood[foam selected]
e) Preparing design and dimensioned layouts

f) PREPARING PRODUCTION DOCUMENT

• Master production schedule (mps)
• Test instructions
• Specifications
 • Technical docs
• Standard docs
