computer-aided design
Which one of the following is often included in a design proposal?
multiple design proposals show variations in the design and materials
multiple competing engineering firms the client might use
a list of the suppliers of raw materials
a list of the previously discarded solutions
Which one of the following is an engineering method for analyzing a product's strengths and weaknesses?
Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) analysis
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) analysis
_____ is an engineering method used to identify, analyze, and prioritize potential failure modes in a product or process, assessing the impact of these failures and determining their potential causes. This helps in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a design.
Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) analysis
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) analysis
_____ is a precise method used in engineering and manufacturing to measure the physical geometrical characteristics of an object. This method uses a device that uses a probe to determine the exact coordinates of points on a workpiece’s surface, allowing engineers to analyze the dimensions, shape, and size of parts to ensure they meet design specifications.
Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) analysis
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) analysis
_____ refers to the use of computer software to assist in engineering tasks such as design, analysis, and simulation of products. This process uses tools to help engineers test and optimize product designs virtually, reducing the need for physical prototypes and speeding up the development process.
Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) analysis
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) analysis
_____ is a systematic approach aimed at continually improving processes, systems, and products over time. It focuses on making incremental changes that enhance efficiency, quality, and performance, rather than relying on large-scale overhauls. This process is rooted in methodologies like Lean, Six Sigma, and Total Quality Management (TQM), which emphasize ongoing progress through small, sustainable improvements.

Why is evaluation an important step in the design solution?
It helps determine whether the design is valid
It provides cost analysis
The product can be sold based on the outcome
The product design is easier to reproduce after a good evaluation
Brainstorming is a technique frequently used in the design process because it _____.
keeps the group on track
provides a forum for criticism
allows group members to vent frustration
allows a large number of ideas to be generated
One of the final steps to the design solution process is to _____.
confirm that the actual result coincides with the forecasted result
hypothesize what the outcome will be
monitor the controls
always have multiple solutions and test each one of them
What is iteration?
developing drastically different outcomes for an idea
going through the same process over and over again
moving from one problem solution to a new problem completely
completely abandoning a project for a new one
Why does the Engineering Design Process exist?
to make things more complicated
to ensure that every problem has a solution
to give a systematic way to solve all problems
to give people jobs so they can make a living
Put the 5 steps in the Engineering Design Process in order from first to last.
