EngDes Unit 2 Lesson 1,2,3

What are the steps to establish design principles?

• Analyze data, collect data, and assist the design process

• Evaluate the existing design, collect data, and guide the design process

• Evaluate the existing design, collect data, and ignore the design process

• Ignore the existing design, collect data, and guide the design process

A book in which an engineer formally documents, in chronological order, all of his/her work associated with a specific design project is called an:

• engineering journal.

• engineering problem folder.

• engineering novel.

• engineering technical manuscript.

What type of parts within a product have increased efficiency in manufacturing?

• Globalized

• Interchangeable

• International

• Repeatable

What is one method to increase the effectiveness of the manufacturing processes?

• Design quality products.

• Improve the health of the humans participating in the process.

• Incorporate interchangeable parts.

• Use robots to run machines.

If one tooling setup can be used to make multiple identical pieces, the manufacturing process is called:

• batch production

• Customization.

• Fixturing

• Machining

Giving up one thing in return for another is known as a/an:

• Interchangeability

• Monetary gain

• Switch

• Trade-off

Using a mathematical model to help improve the design of a new technology is an example of design: C

• Control

• Optimization

• Processing

• Refresh

Recording the successes or failures of a new invention is considered:

• Demonstrating.

• Designing.

• Evaluating

• Modeling

Barbara created an automatic horse water system. She attached a float valve to one side of the tank, allowing the mechanism to hang on the inside of the tank. She then connected a garden hose to the float valve and adjusted it to the appropriate water level. This is an example of:

• Maintenance

• Optimization

• Quality control

• Systems thinking

When a new part can be used to replace an older part, that feature is known as:

• Interchangeability

• Modification

• Replaceability

• Substitution
