Historical Example
 Howard Head (1914 – 1991) original design for an
over-sized tennis racket, 1974
 The larger racket more than doubled the sweet
spot of the traditional racket

The Engineering Design Process
1. Define the Problem
2. Generate Concepts
3. Develop a Solution
4. Construct and Test
a Prototype
5. Evaluate the
Solution
6. Present the
Solution
This design process was developed based on the University of
Maryland - College Park - IRB Research Project

AutoDesk Inventor CAE
 Use Physics in the 3D
Modeling Program
 Example: Centroid vs.
CenterOfGravity (CG)
• Centriod → A 3D point
defining the Geometric
Center of a solid
• CG → Density
Weighted AVERAGE,
or the 3D Balance
Point for a Composite
Object

Learn Reverse Engineering
 Reverse Engineering
(RE) is the process of
taking something apart
and analyzing its
workings in detail,
usually with the
intention of
understanding its
structure, function,
and operation.
