In that light, the notion, role and appearance of products are all drastically changing with current economical changes. Progressive definition: Provide ways to meet needs and wants of society Invent or design new products and processes Improve existing products and processes Work in teams throughout the design process Bottom line: » Products are flexible systems (packages) of artifacts and/or services aimed to fulfill society needs in sustainable ways. » ENGINEERS ARE DESIGNERS Products are important not for themselves - but for the advantages they provide. As products and services are merging into systems, the connection between artifact and process becomes dominant. 3 Ahmed Kovacevic, City University London 4 Ahmed Kovacevic, City University London Design web Design web DESIGN in Engineering? Position of Design in Product Lifecycle Design is: » Systematic Process by which solution to the needs of humankind are obtained and communicated » Essence of Engineering » Structured problem solving activity Engineering Design Process is: » Multidisciplinary task which contains: – Technological factors – Social factors » Team iterative work 5 Ahmed Kovacevic, City .
