Engineering Design Modeling
Design computing plays an important role in computer-aided design,
especially when facing the challenges in dealing with a large-scale
design problem involving many design variables, parameters and
attributes that must be handled on a computer rather than by manually
heuristic trial and error. This course is to introduce multi-attribute
design techniques and approaches to cope with large, complex engineering
design in a systematic fashion. Specifically, attention is devoted to
the topics covering (1) design formalization, (2) modeling and
formulation, (3) tradeoff strategies and schemes, (4) design
optimization, and (5) preference modeling in design. Each topic is
presented with theory through the illustration of design examples. By
taking this course, a step-by-step modeling template can be learned to
systematically deal with engineering design in the presence of
large-scale and complex computing.
