Traditional engineering design is a linear approach divided into a number of steps. For example. a six-step process might be divided into problem identification, preliminary ideas. refinement. analysis. documentation.
and implementation. (Sec Figure 1.12.) The design process moves through each step in a sequential manner; however. if problems arc encountered. the process may return to a previous step. This repetitive action is called iteration or looping. Many industries use the traditional
engineering design process: however. a new process is developing that combines some features of the traditional process with a team approach that involves all segment.~ of a business.
