The engineering design process is a methodical series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative - parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered - though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.
It is a decision-making process (often iterative) in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.
10 Steps of Engineering Design Process are :
1) Identifying the problem.
2) Defining Working Criteria and Goals.
3) Researching and Gathering Data.
4) Brainstorming and Generating Creative Ideas.
5) Analyzing Potential Solutions.
6) Developing and Testing Models
7) Making the Decision.
8) Communicating and Specifying.
9) Implementing and Commercializing.
10) Post-Implementation Review and Assessment.

Week 3: Business Problem and Requirements
Business Analysis
The basic idea of business analysis is simple. It is the practice of identifying and clarifying a problem or issue within a company, then working with the various stakeholders to define and implement an acceptable solution. However, actually conducting a business analysis can be quite complex and time-consuming.
Starting Point
The first step in the process is to identify a problem, an issue, or some other business need. Let's say that you are the owner of a small motorcycle dealership. In addition to selling bikes, your store does repairs and maintenance, sells riding gear, and custom orders parts for your customers. You have received numerous complaints from the staff and customers about the accuracy of your inventory system. The problem is the inventory system often shows parts and merchandise as being in stock, when none are actually available. This often means that a repair job is not finished on schedule, which really irritates your customers.
Milestone 1 Assignment Requirements
In a 5-8 page paper using APA format, please describe the following:
1. Introduction– Briefly describe the organization and business process to provide contextfor your project.
2. Business problem– Identify and describe a business problem for your project.
a. Create a flowchart of the current business process using Visio.
b. If you do not have Visio installed on your computer, you can access this application via the iLab tab in the Course Home unit.
3. Identify stakeholders– Provide a stakeholder tracking matrix based on eachstakeholder’s position and responsibilities, the level of their involvement and their importance to the project.
Example of a stakeholder matrix:
Role
Responsibilities
Level of Involvement
Importance
Project Manager
(Business)
Project Manager
(Implementation partner)
Business Analyst
Page 1 of 4
BUSN350
Role
Responsibilities
Level of Involvement

Department Manager
Work Group Supervisor
External Business Partner

SME 3
Level of Involvement – What level of involvement and how much time will be expected of each stakeholder?
Importance – How important is the stakeholder in the requirements elicitation process? Are they required in order to document all of the critical project requirements, or are they optional in that they can add clarity to processes that may further refine requirements?
4. Conduct elicitationusing one of the methods listed and provide the documented resultsfrom your activity in the Appendix of your paper:
Surveys – develop a set of 5-8 multiple choice questions pertaining to the business problem that will enable you to document a list of requirements for your project, administer the survey to elicit responses from 10 participants
Interviews – develop a set of 5-8 open-ended questions pertaining to the ...

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far.

13. Recent research suggest that 67% of
urban educated indian women are
unemployed. There are multiple
challenges women face in seeking
employment, staying employed
throughout different stages of life, and
getting re-employed after a career
break.
A 2018 McKinsey report estimated that
India could add $552bn to its gross
domestic product (GDP) by increasing its
female workforce participation rate by
10 percent.
We are investigating ways to retain or
increase female workforce participation
in India.
