Abstract

"Modern product design is increasingly requiring designers to work beyond single domain engineering. Designers are being required to synergistically combine elements spanning multiple engineering domains. This is especially prevalent in the design of automation solutions where elements from mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering must be concurrently designed and function flawlessly together to create a working mechatronic system...This research explores the use of process and product information to generate the information required to create a conceptual functional model for an automation solution"--Abstract, page iv.
