ADAPTIVE ENGINEERING

摘要

Everyitng changes. Everything stays the same. To succeed in the design-engineering profession today, you need to both understand and act on apparently conflicting trends. Time-to-market is as important as ever. But design teams face a completely new playing field when it comes to how products are specified and then developed. Depending on the product, quality may or may not take much priority. Environmental issues such as lead-free design come into play, and the rules are different in every region of the world. Moreover, both digital and analog specialists must adapt to a complex relationship involving the chip vendor or designer, the owner of a reference design, perhaps a module vendor, software vendors, the system designer, and a service provider. And by the way, you must design for a global consumer base, using global standards and an amazing mix of technologies in your toolbox.
