Reverse Engineering

Ricky purchased a used iPad 3 in order to take it apart to study both the subsystems and how it operates. This is an example of:

• the universal system.

• forward engineering.

• core technology.

• reverse engineering.

_______________________ is the process of taking something apart and analyzing its workings in detail, usually with the intention of understanding its structure, function, and operation.

• Engineering

• Reverse Engineering

• Mechanical Technician

• Diagnostics
