What is engineering design? (9th Grade)?
I have engineering design as one of my classes and I would like to know what it’s about.
engineering design, is the idea and calculation needed to design a structure or system for its desired function

What Branch of Engineering Covers Windmill Design?
What type of engineering degree would you require to be certified to design windmills?
I’m assuming you mean electric power windmills…. For the large windmills, several engineers work on the design. Probably structural/mechanical, electrical, civil.

Innovate Forum Profiles Apriori Technologies
In the current issue of Innovate found at www.innovateforum.com, Frank Azzolino, CEO of aPriori Technologies discusses how the business operations focus is on financially related concerns such as margin, contribution, and profit. The language of the business is time and money. It is no secret that the profit motive is what drives critical company decisions. It is also no secret that the ability for the product to achieve the expected financial goals is driven by design and manufacturing decisions that occur very early in (and continually throughout) the product delivery process.
The holy grail of ‘collaboration’ is meaningless if the parties are not speaking a common language. The ‘lingua franca’ that translates the language of engineering into the language of business is ‘cost’, specifically, product cost.
MCAD and PLM have historically focused on the engineering and design aspects of product delivery. The language of engineering as spoken by MCAD and PLM is based on physical attributes of the product and technological capabilities of the software solutions used. The result is a series of conversations about features, rounds, fillets, and chamfers.
Major PLM and MCAD providers long for acceptance and penetration outside of engineering departments at the same time the major ERP (enterprise resource planning) vendors strive to enter the engineering and product delivery arena.
In each of these application platforms, PLM and ERP, cost can be managed. On the ERP side, costs are always historical; these costs are available to be managed only after production. While it is more difficult to manage costs on the PLM side of the house, it is often potentially more valuable. The need for real- time, predictive costs are essential to allow design and manufacturing teams to avoid and eliminate costs early in the process (when critical cost-driving decisions are made.) Currently the array of MCAD, PLM, and ERP applications do not allow for the ability to generate this early cost knowledge.
The aPriori v4.0 Cost Management Software Platform provides real-time, predictive cost assessments throughout the entire product development and delivery process. aPriori v4.0 enables designers and engineers, manufacturing engineers and planners, purchasing and sourcing professionals, cost managers, and program/project management to make better decisions to reduce, avoid, and recover product costs. aPriori’s solutions enable manufacturing companies to measurably reduce their Costs-of-Goods Sold (COGS) by whole percentages by identifying quantifiable savings in material, tooling, labor and overhead while evaluating alternative designs, manufacturing processes, and vendor sources.
About aPriori
Based in Concord, MA, aPriori is the technology leader providing innovative cost management solutions to the discrete manufacturing industry. aPriori’s Cost Management Software Platform enables manufacturers to better understand product cost decisions early and throughout the product lifecycle. aPriori’s Cost Management Platform empowers manufacturers to lower cost-of-goods sold (COGS), provides real-time visibility to “cost-critical” decision information, and builds critical cost knowledge to go on the business “offensive.” aPriori’s patented cost management platform allows companies to assess, control, and reduce cost of goods sold by whole percentages. The aPriori Platform truly enables “Cost Knowledge Before it Matters.”

Need some ideas for my Engineering Design and Development! please and thx. Need some problems?
i need a problem that I would have to go with engineering design to fix it or improve it.?!! An example would be to create mirrors on glasses so you can see behind you.
Now that was something i just thought up on top of head
but would like to hear some people’s ideas
now its a school project so cant be any guns or sexual stuff creation
Here are some examples of wat i have to go through….now you dont have to answer them
1.What exactly is the problem that I wish to explore?
"A problem well-stated is a problem half solved."
2.Who in fact says that this really is a "problem" that needs to be solved? (Why should anyone, including me, believe these people?)
A well-written, focused problem statement and the informational sources which support the statement are the difference between success and failure in research and development. The more justifiable sources the better.
“Any statement beginning with the words ‘I feel’ or ‘I think’ has no place in true research and development.”
3.What are all of the current methods or actions that are being used, or have been developed, to try and solve this problem? (Exactly why don’t any of them solve the problem?)
Any help would help

Since we now know that saltwater will burn when exposed to radio waves, why not state that a car can run on saltwater, and seek ways to prove it? It involves the separation of hydrogen from saltwater, so it seems an easy source of fuel for a hydrogen fuel cell type vehicle. Why not design a refueling station prototype, based on saltwater, for the next gen of hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles. You may the next Bill Gates, financially, and dont forget me if you are!!!!

furin – 2 of 2 – takram design engineering and Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects
On a grid of equilateral triangles, we hung a total of 280 glass wind chimes from the ceiling at varying heights to represent the undulation of a wave. When you walk underneath the wind chime, not only does it ring, but its LED also alights like a firefly. The wind chimes nearer to the ceiling ring in higher tones, and those hung lower in lower tones together offering 10 degrees of tonal expression. And it feels as though you are walking inside a large interactive instrument. Additionally, the wind chimes are networked together, so that the sound and light spreads to adjacent wind chimes like ripples in the water. This network system was based on the idea of behavior we observe among certain animals in nature that form groups.
