Part of the engineering design process is to understand the “state of the art” technology when solving your particular problem. Existing technology or products, standards, patents, literature, etc. should be the basis of understanding what is currently possible; what is legally protected; and how problems are currently solved. The “state of the art” is not given in one location, but spread across all different types of publications and mediums. As a team, you need to investigate different sources to determine what is out there today and what you can use to help make your project successful. (DR)
