Abstract

This report intends to stimulate the discussion about enhancing and tuning the application of the traditional method for engineering design projects for educational purposes at Delft University of Technology - and possibly for the engineering practice as well. It aims at creating awareness of putting the design activities in a logical order and in applying the main design phases more consciously. It also attempts to enhance an integrated approach. The proposed improvements are not fundamental in the sense that they change themain design process, but they rather streamline the application of the method. I intend to incorporate feedback in a next version of this text, which will be available to anyone who is interested.
