Design practice for the successful design of engineering systems expects design engineers to possess a vast subject knowledge of different engineering systems and acquire a set of design skills which are typical of a senior engineer with many years of design experience. Further, design tradition often requires the creation of a physical prototype to verify the design progress against the project specifications and to perform early product acceptance testing. As a senior design engineer at the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics, University of Wollongong, the author was instrumental in improving the design process of complex systems by incorporating a modular design methodology to reduce the complexity of the design through partitioning into functional modules. Verification of the design was achieved through virtual mode testing of the design with virtual tools such as Altium, Multisim, Solidworks and Ansys Simplorer.
