First, the engineering design process is discussed as adistinct two stage procedure involving (a) architectural design, and (b) subsystem design. Thesteps in these two stages are articulated and examined. Innovative aspects of the engineeringdesign process are then discussed in terms of some of the ways of “thinking outside the box
