Introduction to the Engineering Design Process Assessment

Front

______ are special requirements that a product has met or must meet.

Back

Criteria

Front

_______ is a limit, such as appearance, budget, space, materials, or human capital, in the design process.

Back

Constraint

Front

_______ is a full size working model of the design. Prototypes are always made to test the design. Without a prototype, the engineering design team would not be able to see if its solution would actually operate.
