Today's mechanical design engineers are tasked with much more than conceiving and designing a functional product with structural integrity. Well-designed products are a culmination of many integrated ...

This paper describes the methodology employed during the development of a System on Chip (SoC) platform developed for automotive applications. The methodology is based on the following major aspects.

Deep sub-micron effects complicate design closure for very large designs. Top-down hierarchical design methodology combined with physical prototyping increases design productivity and restores ...

FORT KNOX, Ky. - Critical thinking requires practice, creative thinking. Soldiers and key leaders of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division are actively applying Operational Art and ...

A researcher from the University of Tokyo and a U.S.-based structural engineer developed a new computational form-finding ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

Since the dawn of PCB usage, constraints have been an important part of the design. What are the dimensions? What weight of copper? Now, constraints have become much more than just physical dimensions ...

The design thinking process is a two-pronged approach that involves both empathetic ideology and a process that aims to find the best possible solution for gaps in the market or problems in a given ...
