Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design

Mechanical design is a compound process, requiring skills.

design is either to formulate a plan for the satisfaction of a
specified need or to solve a specific problem.
Design is an innovative and highly iterative process.
Mechanical engineers are associated with the production and
processing of energy.
 Roles to be played by codes and standards, ever-present
economics, safety, and considerations of product liability.
Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design
The phases in design, acknowledging the many
feedbacks and iterations.
Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design
Design Considerations
A number of characteristics must be considered and prioritized in a given design
situation.

Design Tools and Resources

 Acquiring Technical Information.

• Libraries (community, university, and private). Engineering

dictionaries and encyclopedias, textbooks, monographs,
handbooks, indexing and abstract services, journals, translations,
technical reports, patents, and business
sources/brochures/catalogs.

• Internet. The computer network gateway to websites associated

with most of the categories listed above
