 The academic field of Engineering Design trains students to become professional
engineers that deeply understand the manufacturing process and all its
sub-stages from start to finish.
Engineering is a
profession as well as an academic field in which the physical, chemical,
biological, and social sciences are applied for practical purposes, especially
in manufacturing. Manufacturing can be broken down into a cyclical series of
processes: planning, design, prototype construction, and testing. Products are
not manufactured unless they have passed through processes. Planning and design
are essential before manufacturing product. Engineering Design is an academic
field of research and education in which the planning, design, prototype
constructions, and testing stages are integrated and treated as a single
process. Students entering this academic field, master the skills needed to
thoroughly understanding manufacturing processes, and then go on to apply those
skills to creating innovative manufacturing approaches. |
