Tema: Inginer Dizainer: A Elaborat: A Verificat

Design engineers work on complex engineering projects and products, adapting scientific and mathematical techniques to develop solutions. They work in teams to conceptualize and detail designs that ensure products function properly. Design engineers create drawings, prototypes, and make changes and corrections throughout a product's life. They spend much of their time searching for information, engaged in technical, social, and computer-based work to problem solve and bring products from design to production.

Design engineer
A design engineer is a person who may be involved in any of various
engineering disciplines
including civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, textiles, aerospace, nuclear, manu
facturing, systems, and structural /building/architectural. Design engineers tend to
work on products and systems that involve adapting and using complex scientific
and mathematical techniques. The emphasis tends to be on utilizing engineering
physics and sciences to develop solutions for society.
The design engineer usually works with a team of engineers and other designers to
develop conceptual and detailed designs that ensure a product actually functions,
performs and is fit for its purpose. They may work with industrial designers and
marketers to develop the product concept and specifications to meet customer
needs and may direct the design effort. In many engineering areas, a distinction is
made between the design engineer and the planning engineer in design; analysis is
important for planning engineers while synthesis is more paramount for design
engineers.
When the design involves public safety, the design engineer is usually
required to be licensed, for example, a professional engineer in the U.S and
Canada. There is usually an "industrial exemption" for design engineers working
on project internal to companies and not delivering professional services directly to
the public.
Design engineers may work in a team along with other designers to create
the drawings necessary for prototyping and production, or in the case of buildings,
for construction. However, with the advent of CAD and solid modeling software,
the design engineers may create the drawings themselves, or perhaps with the help
of many corporate service providers.
The next responsibility of many design engineers is prototyping. A model of
the product is created and reviewed. Prototypes are either functional or non-
functional. Functional "alpha" prototypes are used for testing; non-functional
prototypes are used for form and fit checking. Virtual prototyping and hence for
any such software solutions may also be used. This stage is where design flaws are
found and corrected, and tooling, manufacturing fixtures, and packaging are
developed.
Once the "alpha" prototype is finalized after many iterations, the next step is
the "beta" pre-production prototype. The design engineer, working with
an industrial engineer, manufacturing engineer, and quality engineer, reviews an
initial run of components and assemblies for design compliance and
fabrication/manufacturing methods analysis. This is often determined
through statistical process control. Variations in the product are correlated to
aspects of the process and eliminated. The most common metric used is the process
capability index Cpk. A Cpk of 1.0 is considered the baseline acceptance for full
production go-ahead.
The design engineer may follow the product and make requested changes and
corrections throughout the life of the product. This is referred to as "cradle to
grave" engineering. The design engineer works closely with the manufacturing
engineer throughout the product life cycle.
The design process is an information intensive one, and design engineers have
been found to spend 56% of their time engaged in various information behaviours,
including 14% actively searching for information.[1] In addition to design
engineers' core technical competence, research has demonstrated the critical nature
of their personal attributes, project management skills, and cognitive abilities to
succeed in the role.[2]
Amongst other more detailed findings, a recent work sampling study[3] found
that design engineers spend 62.92% of their time engaged in technical work,
40.37% in social work, and 49.66% in computer-based work. There was
considerable overlap between these different types of work, with engineers
spending 24.96% of their time engaged in technical and social work, 37.97% in
technical and non-social, 15.42% in non-technical and social, and 21.66% in non-
technical and non-social.
