Transformation and technical systems and processes; technical products as heterogeneous technical systems enabling transformation processes; properties, quality and competitiveness potential of technical systems; architectural structures of technical systems; sytemicity levels of engineering design methodologies and their integration; .main principles of achieving and predicting the required properties of technical systems: "Enginering design for X " (EDfX); engineering design activities and their rationalization; engineering designing of technical products as a transformation process the aim of which is a technical system with the required properties, quality and competitiveness potential. The knowledge is creatively applied to examples taken from practice and in cooperation with practice Lectures: 1. Basic information about the subject. Transformation system (TrfS) and transformation process (TrfP). General model of TrfS with TrfP. Techniccal products/systems (TS) in TrfS. TS life stages as TrfS. 2. TS properties. Relationships among TS properties. TS quality and competitiveness potential, and their evaluation. Evaluation of compliance with TS specified requirements and evaluation of development and business competitiveness of TS. TS architectural structures. 3. Engineering design system (EDesS) as TrfS and Engineering design process (EDesP) as TrfP. Engineering design. Influence of DesS factors on DesP. Risk sources. 4.General basic operations (A-G), methodical stages (I-IV) engineering design phases (1-6) DesP - overview, relationships and their integration.. Clarification of requirements and their elaboration according to TS life stages (1). Case Examples. 5. Engineering designing of TS functional structure from TrfP. Case Examples 6. Engineering designing of TS organ structure using morphological matrices (3a). Case Examples. 7. Evaluation of engineering design task and decision making - application on evaluation and selection of optimal alternative of TS organ structure (3b). Case Examples. 8. Engineering designing of the rough TS constructional structure (4) and definitive TS constructional structure (5). Case Examples. 9. Elaborating definitive TS constructional structure and the whole project solution. (6). Case Examples.. Working with information , representation, errorless and riskness checking 10. Technical processes as technical transformation processes (TTrfP). "Internal" technical transformation processes in TS (ITP). TS taxonomy. Methodical knowledge to TTrfP and ITP. Basic EDfX knowledge to TS properties. TS development in time. Development of TS properties in time. 11. Structure of EDesP activities / operations. IT in DesS and its influence on DesP. 12. Strategies and tactics in EDesP. Mehodical knowledge on EDesP. General procedural model of engineering designing of TS - recapitulation. 13. Purpose, aim and importance of systemic approaches. Systematic structure of knowledge about and for engineering designing. Developmental changes in TS engineering design processes.
