About me
My name is René Rail-Ip and I am currently completing my Masters in Applied Science (MASc) in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto under supervision of Professor David Johns. I have a BASc in Engineering Science with a Major in ECE and a Minor in Robotics and Mechatronics as well as a Certificate in Engineering Business from the University of Toronto.
In addition to pursuing my Master's degree, I am a Teaching Assistant for Engineering Science courses Praxis I (ESC101) and Engineering Design (AER201), as well as the fourth-year ECE course, Robot Modeling and Control (ECE470). |
Engineering Design PhilosophyMy current and ever-evolving philosophy on Engineering Design is as follows:
"Engineering Design is the iterative process of applying scientific and mathematical principles in order to solve real-world problems. The process evolves under developed requirements in order to accomplish the necessary objectives. Engineering Design is a cyclical process, which encapsulates the planning, idea generation, specific design, implementation, and reflection phases." This definition is purposely general so that it may apply to a number of fields, products, solutions, processes, or technologies. An Engineering Designer in any field must always understand the value of documentation and reflection, as this propels them forward in their development and in their understanding of how to design. |
