Module EC-14
Engineering Design and System Integration
What engineers do between being given a problem and having a working thing. Writing requirements and constraints down so they can be argued with, choosing an architecture and the parts to fill it, making trade-offs on purpose rather than by accident, prototyping and verifying against the requirements, and integrating pieces that each worked alone.
