It's easy to lose track of the "big picture" when you are deep into the design and engineering of a next-generation product. Having a focus on a systems approach is important throughout the process.

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

The benefits of using simulation early and often in the product development process are clear. You can verify requirements and begin studying and exploring design alternatives before prototyping and ...

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 ...

Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin was an engineer whose self-named company made the first successful rigid airship. The path from his inspiration during a balloon trip in Minnesota in ...

In an effort to bring even more real-world value to the already-practical study of engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is launching a curriculum in engineering design. Believed to be the ...
