Big Picture: Engineering is a creative process used to invent new products or improve existing products (innovation).

• Engineering Involves Teamwork

  • Brainstorming is a crucial part of the design process.

• Engineers Have To Communicate Ideas

  • Concepts sketches are used to quickly communicate ideas.

    • Concepts sketches should be proportional, annotated, and shaded.

• Engineers use a process in order to invent and innovate.

  • The first step in the design process is Define the Problem (design brief)

  • The second step in the design process is Generate Concepts (decision matrix)

• The main four disciplines of engineering are civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical.

  • Each discipline has many subdisciplines.
