2. ENGINEERING DESIGN

3. ENGINEERING “The art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” “The science-based profession by which the physical forces of nature and the properties of matter are made useful to mankind in the form of structures, machines, and other products or processes at a reasonable expenditure of time and money.” “The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems.” “The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems.”

4. ENGINEERING Hoover Dam. It took nearly 500 workers 4 1/2 years, working 24-hour-a-day shifts, to build in the 1930's. NASA¹s fourth space shuttle, the Atlantis made its maiden flight on October 3, 1985.

5. ENGINEERING METHOD “The use of heuristics to cause the best change in a poorly understood situation within the available resources.” Heuristics- anything that provides a plausible aid or direction in the solution of a problem. “The heuristic-based reasoning used by engineers is a universal method for problem solving."

6. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN “Conceptual design is just like it sounds- the generation of a concept.” Concept- 1. A general idea derived or inferred from specific instances or occurrences. 2. Something formed in the mind; a thought or notion. idea. 3. A scheme; a plan:

7. NASA engineer John Houbolt explains how men would get to the moon and back using "lunar orbit rendezvous." Houbolt pushed NASA hard for the concept and its adoption in 1962 laid the groundwork for success 7 years later. lunar orbit rendezvous

8. ANALYTICAL DESIGN Analytical design examines each component within a system to ensure that it is optimized. Analyze- To examine methodically by separating into parts and studying their interrelations. Mathematical and modeling tools are used to help eliminate expensive prototyping.
