Year 7 - Torch Design - 100% Club

What is always the first step of the Engineering design process?

• Research

• Generation of Ideas

• Refinement

• Development of Concepts

A team of engineers is asked to design a scooter for less than £30. They decide that they will only use recycled materials. Which of the following is the team’s constraint?

• designed to appeal to kids

• made out of recycled materials

• cost less than £30 to produce

• they must make a scooter

What is the main goal of the design process?

• To write reports
• To make things
• To make charts and graphs
• To find solutions to problems

An engineer has designed and built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step that the engineer should take in the process?

• Test the prototype.
• Make sketches of the prototype.
• Identify constraints.
• Collect and analyze the test results. 

Which word best describes a constraint?

• option
• opportunity
• limitation
• goal

What is the main goal of the design process?

• To write reports
• To make things
• To make charts and graphs
• To find solutions to problems

What does DFMA stand for?

• Done Finished My Application

• Design For Manufacturing and Assembly

• DFMA

• Design For Mom and Apples

What is the definition of "Use of standard components" ?

• Less expensive than custom made items.

• Error can occur during insertion operations due to valuations in part dimensions.

• Select the optimum combination between the material and fabrication process to minimize cost.

• Reduces material, overhead, and labor costs. It also shortens the product development cycle.

What is definition of "Reduce the total number of parts" ?

• Increases the cost of manufacturing a part due to handling and feeling operations that should be performed.

• The reduction of the number of parts in a product is the best opportunity to reduce costs.

• Less expensive than custom made items.

• The use of modules in product design simplifies manufacturing activities such as inspection, testing, assembly, purchasing, redesign, and maintenance.

What is a prototype?

• The final design that is ready to be manufactured.

• Drawing that show a single view of an object; in a way that makes it appear 3D.

• A model that is used to test certain aspects of a solution.

• All choices are correct.
