In this phase you must understand existing problem, associating available data, images, and fundamental principles with it; generate strategies and methodology; critically evaluate state-of-the-art technologies, other machines and components available on the market.   Main steps of the problem definition Understanding the problem An essential requirement for an engineering design project is to formulate a problem precisely and to present a solution accurately. To formulate a problem, you must consider both real-time physical conditions (product shape, f...
