Comprehensive Overview of the Software Design Process in Engineering Projects

This document provides a thorough exploration of the software design process, including key steps such as establishing needs, developing project plans, determining engineering specifications, researching solutions, and analyzing trade-offs. It outlines essential tools like Gantt charts, decision matrices, and brainstorming techniques. Additionally, it discusses team formation, task identification, and resource estimation for project tasks. By breaking down major components like controllers, drive trains, launchers, color sensors, and power supplies, it serves as a guide for effective software engineering practices.
