Engineering design (Chapter 12) has Five-Stage process that enables engineers to solve a defined problem. "Making an optimized decision (Decision table)" is widely used during these five steps, especially in "Evaluating" and "Testing" steps. Identifying appropriate criteria is an important key to reach best result in engineering design. Develop a list of working criteria that could be used in deciding whether to: a) Accept a co-op job offer from Company A or Company B. b) Study overseas for the fall semester or remain on campus. c) Buy a new car or repair your old one. d) Drive to school or use public transport. e) Change your major or remain in engineering, f) Buy a new home or remodel your current home. g) Live in a detached house or an apartment. h) Fat no meat for a week Engineering design (Chapter 12) has Five-Stage process that enables engineers to solve a defined problem.
