A system-engineering approach is essential for an efficient design in a complex system. Comprehension of conflicting requirements of participating subsystems and integrated designs are key elements ...

The primary objective of the introductory engineering projects course is to provide an overview of engineering careers, primarily through open-ended, hands-on design experiences. This text and ...

At the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, the process and application of design is everywhere. Students are constantly designing tools and technologies. Faculty members are launching ...

All engineers are familiar with the engineering design cycle in one form or another. While each step may be represented differently in different interpretations, design is always understood to be a ...

If you're trying to get ahead of competitors with the same product design cycle you've always used, I have bad news for you: You're probably falling behind. No matter how far along you are in ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

In part one of this two-part article, design engineer Michael Paloian outlined the first four milestones of a product-design project, ending with the “cornerstone” of the product-design cycle — ...

How model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has improved system design. Thermal design and MBE come together. When considering systems-level design, it’s important to understand the criticality of the ...
