Methods used to design, model and analyze mechanical products before they are built. A member belongs here when the cited article describes it as an engineering design or analysis method. The group is one of the groupings under this field in the Technology Atlas, and each member keeps its own entry with its own cited sources and its own place in the field. Its members appear in the Browse By view for the field, so a reader can move from this group to each member entry and to the sources cited there.

Computer-aided design (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Computer-Aided Design, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Computer-Aided Design, Introduction
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
Reverse engineering (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Reverse Engineering, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Reverse Engineering, Introduction
Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so.
Modular design (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Modular design, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Modular design, Introduction
Modular design, or modularity in design, is a design principle that subdivides a system into smaller parts called modules (such as modular process skids), which can be independently created, modified, replaced, or exchanged with other modules or between different systems.
Engineering design process (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Engineering design process, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Engineering design process, Introduction
The engineering design process refers to how engineers create and validate designs for products, processes and systems---including their lifecycle processes such as manufacture, maintenance and end-of-life considerations such as recycling, remanufacture or disposal.
