Design Matters: The Organisation and Principles of Engineering Design
Following several years as chairman of the Design Matters Group at
the UK Royal Academy of Engineering, James Armstrong prepared
at the request of the Academy a booklet outlining the basic strategic
principles of engineering design, illustrated by four case studies.
James Armstrong has a wide range of experience relating to many
different projects and requiring the integrating of many different disciplines.
This experience has been used to demonstrate the basic design
process and to show how the same general principles can be used to
demonstrate the process on such diverse projects. It also suggests how
these principles can be used to set out the strategic process for all engineering
projects and incorporate the understanding in undergraduate
engineering courses at university.
The principles identified cover fundamental strategic issues. They
arise from experience of handling projects, involving planning, financing,
and political/social issues as well as basic architectural and engineering
matters.
Following the publication of the booklet, James Armstrong was invited
by the international publishers Springer to expand the presentation
of the three principles of need, vision and delivery into a more
comprehensive book, of value to the practising engineer and to engineering
educators.
In this book the fundamental principles are defined, with suggestions
as to the need for and the process of relating the humanities to the sciences
of natural law, and demonstrates this with 12 case studies of a variety
of design projects from different engineering disciplines. General
advice on the establishment of the three principles is given, together
with a detailed analysis of one project, and a suggested format for auditing
the design process.
