A basic engineering design theory is created that includes the development of a generalized engineering design procedure. A specific objective is to find the best design that satisfies a given design goal. A more general and powerful objective is to find all of the best designs, and the families of designs, that satisfy an entire field of design problems. A non-dimensional approach is typically used to simplify the procedure and find fundamental design forms. Many examples of the design procedure are provided, often leading to surprising new design results. Emphasis is placed on the...
