Abstract
This paper aims to share expertise acquired from industrial R&D environments, regarding directions to how engineering talent can better exercise their skills and abilities with eyesight towards gathering insight and creating confidence about a developing product. The following generic design tasks are reviewed regarding the state-of-the-art on how they are carried out: modelling and experimentation, communication and prototyping, and verification and validation. This paper draws insight from the authors’ experience through two industrial case studies carried out in different positions: one as observer, other as practitioner. The lessons hereby presented were drawn from observing how the processes went through about experimenting with conceptual and detailed design specifications; these are described in terms of principles to design practice and on how these shall inform the formation and development of mechanical engineering students as talent for the future.
