Premilinary Design
The preliminary design stage of engineering is the initial phase of a project where the design concept is developed and evaluated. This involves the identification of project requirements, the creation of design specifications, the evaluation of alternative design solutions, and the selection of the best approach to meet the project goals.
Main Design
The main design stage of engineering is the phase where the chosen design concept is developed in greater detail and transformed into a comprehensive set of design plans and specifications. This involves the use of advanced computer-aided design (CAD) tools, modeling and simulation software, and prototype testing to refine and optimize the design to ensure that it meets all of the project requirements and is safe, reliable, and cost-effective.
Construction, Installation & Supervision
The next stage of engineering after the main design is the implementation or construction phase, where the design plans and specifications are put into action, and the actual physical or software system is built, installed, and tested. This phase involves the coordination of resources, such as personnel, equipment, and materials, and the management of schedules, budgets, and quality control to ensure that the system is built correctly and functions as intended.
