A limit imposed on a design solution.

• Constraint
• Specification
• Risk/Benefit Trade-Off

A method of coming up with alternative solutions.

• Brainstorming
• Probability
• Variable
• Iterations

The process of taking something apart and analyzing its workings in detail.

• Graphic Design
• Reverse Engineering
• Process
• Evaluation

Engineers use reverse engineering for all which reasons?

• Documentation

• Discovery

• Investigation

• Product Improvement

• All answers are correct

A building has a walkway that falls and kills and injures many people. What would be the reason to reverse engineering the walkway?

• Documentation

• Discovery

• Investigation

• Maintenance

When starting reverse engineering, you first must do a non-destructive analysis to: identify the purpose of the product, make hypotheses of how the product works, and list inputs and outputs. What is this non-destructive analysis?

• Visual Analysis

• Function Analysis

• Structural Analysis

Disassembly or tear down of a product is a major step in the reverse engineering process, it uncovers the principles behind how a product works. It is always fun to tear apart a product, but nothing will be accomplished if data is not collected during the process. To gather this data, we will use ________________________________.

• Gantt chart

• product disassembly chart

• concurrent engineering table

• a workflow chart
