Engineering Design Process Concepts

The video explains the engineering design process using a truck suspension system as an example. It covers steps like defining the problem, conceptual design, 3D modeling, design refinement, verification, and validation. The process is iterative, often requiring multiple cycles before finalizing a product. The video also discusses planning for mass production and tool design.
