4.

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

a)

Documentation

b)

Discovery

c)

Investigation

d)

5.

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?

a)

Visual Analysis

b)

Function Analysis

c)

Structural Analysis

6.
This is a process where a product is disassembled, uncovering principles behind how a product works. Data is collected to determine how parts interact, what the good and bad features of the product are, what manufacturing process was used, and what caused the product to succeed or fail.
a)
Reverse Engineering
b)
Visual Analysis
c)
Functional Analysis
d)
Structural Analysis
7.

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 ________________________________.

a)

Gantt chart

b)

product disassembly chart

c)

concurrent engineering table

d)

a workflow chart

a)

True

b)

False

11.

Which reason for reverse engineering relates to finding out new information due to curiosity, espionage, etc.?

a)

Documentation

b)

Discovery

c)

Investigation

d)

Improvement

12.

Which of these is NOT a valid (legal) reason to use reverse engineering?

a)

To update obsolete materials or antiquated manufacturing processes with more current, less-expensive technologies. 

b)

The original manufacturer of a product no longer exists and/or no longer produces the product.

c)

To produce a clone of the original product, and sell it for a cheaper price.

d)

The product has features that are negative and/or to improve the product’s performance and features.
