Axiomatic Design Reading

Why the hell am I doing up at 2:00 am in the morning? I am just finishing up on reading the 3 articles on Axiomatic Design theories that were assigned to us as part of our reading for Thursday’s Systems Engineering class. So far, the reading has been painful and slow because of:

  1. 47 pages of single-spaced reading material.
  2. Reader-unfriendly format.
  3. The subject itself is not necessarily complex but it is certainly deep and require sufficient time to digest and understand.
I really don’t know what to think about these readings. The more I read about axiomatic design, the more I think of it as a quack or voodoo engineering. In my mind, it seems to give us a false sense of precision in system design? In any case, I still think that this is the worst reading assignment so far. Time for bed now.
