This study presents a framework for the design of technical systems. This can be achieved through a general design science, a knowledge system in which products are seen as objects to be developed within engineering design processes. The authors have developed this design science from a division of the knowledge system along two axes. One deals with knowledge about technical systems and design processes, while the other presents descriptive sections of the knowledge system made clear. Insights into engineering design, the process, its management and its products are placed into context, with particular attention given to various areas of applicability.
