Watch as a group of young engineers use the design process to build a bike trailer. Watch as a group of young engineers at the Acera School use the design process to build a trailer to transport ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

All too often, the overall performance of an electronic design isn’t limited by technology constraints, but rather ultimately boils down to a problem of heat dissipation. With the exception of ...

Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

Technical personnel such as engineers and designers need to have input on a device's features and intended functions. In the fiercely competitive medical device and instrumentation industry, speeding ...

In a recent workshop, we were presented this quandary: ‘I get the challenge definition, but how do you nail down a solution’. I’m writing this blog to tackle this perhaps unspoken matter of contention ...

“How do we select the right design partner?” “Where can I find evidence that design really works?” “Can design have any impact beyond products?” These are real questions that we’ve been asked by our ...

Worker safety is a top priority for manufacturers. They know that working alongside rotating parts, high-pressure fluids, and combustible fluids creates serious risks of injury. Although there are ...
