1. Engineering Design Process | 工程设计过程
The engineering design process starts by defining a clear problem or need, followed by research into constraints, user requirements, and existing solutions. A detailed design specification is then produced to guide concept generation.
工程设计过程始于明确问题或需求，随后进行约束条件、用户需求和现有解决方案的研究。然后制定详细的设计规范以指导方案构思。
Concept development uses techniques such as brainstorming, morphological analysis, and SCAMPER to generate multiple ideas. The most promising concepts are evaluated against the specification using weighted matrices or pairwise comparison.
概念开发采用头脑风暴、形态分析法、SCAMPER 等技巧生成多种想法。最有前景的概念通过加权矩阵或成对比较方法对照规范进行评估。
Detailed design involves material selection, sizing, and the creation of CAD models and technical drawings. Prototyping – either physical models or digital simulations – allows testing of form, fit, and function before final manufacture.
详细设计包括材料选择、尺寸计算以及 CAD 模型和技术图纸的生成。原型制作（实物模型或数字仿真）可在最终制造前测试形状、配合和功能。
