Design is one of the intellectual activities that have played a fundamental role in creating and shaping the modern civilization. Design begins with the identification of the need that must be satisfied and ends with an innovation. This translation of the need to a final solution is the responsibility and domain of a designer. The goal is to create a design that satisfies the perceived needs as specified by functional requirements (FRs) within specified constraints. How we perform this task well is the main subject addressed in this book. Since the Industrial Revolution, major scientific discoveries and technological innovations have enabled humans to harness energy, transport people and goods, generate wealth, secure health and security, and explore the universe. All of these advances were possible because of the human ability to design and innovate. Without these advances, the world would not have had the means of supporting its rapidly expanding population and improving the quality of life at the same time. Innovations will continue to be important in the twenty-first century as we now have new challenges: global
