Machine design knowledge is organized by recurring
design decisions, not by machine types.

About Design
A design is not a shape.
It is a structured argument for why a system should exist, how it
should work, and how it can be verified.
The American view of design begins with requirements and expands
into architecture, interfaces, trade-offs, risks, and evidence.
Machine Design Knowledge Lab studies this logic through geometry,
material, production, cost, assembly, and risk—turning engineering
knowledge into clearer design decisions.

Criteria in relation
No criterion stands alone.
A change in geometry can shift material choice,
production time, assembly sequence, cost,
and risk.
Design knowledge lives in those connections.
