 The Design Process

 Iterative
in nature
 Requires initial estimation,
followed by continued
refinement

 The Design Engineer’s Professional Responsibilities

 Satisfy the needs of the customer in a competent, responsible,

ethical, and professional manner.
 Some key advise for a professional engineer
◦ Be competent
◦ Keep current in field of practice
◦ Keep good documentation
◦ Ensure good and timely communication
◦ Act professionally and ethically

 Standards and Codes
 Standard
◦ A set of specifications for parts, materials, or processes
◦ Intended to achieve uniformity, efficiency, and a specified
quality
◦ Limits the multitude of variations
 Code
◦ A set of specifications for the analysis, design, manufacture,
and construction of something
◦ To achieve a specified degree of safety, efficiency, and
performance or quality
◦ Does not imply absolute safety
 Various organizations establish and publish standards and codes
for common and/or critical industries

 Tolerances
 Close tolerances generally
increase cost
◦ Require additional
processing steps
◦ Require additional
inspection
◦ Require machines with
lower production rates

 Breakeven Points
 A cost comparison between two possible production methods
 Often there is a breakeven point on quantity of production

EXAMPLE
 Automatic screw
machine
 25 parts/hr
 3 hr setup
 $20/hr labor cost
 Hand screw machine
 10 parts/hr
 Minimal setup
 $20/hr labor cost
 Breakeven at 50 units
