Chapter 1 1. Explain the difference between engineers and technologists.
Engineers are problem solvers. They are creative to use technical means to solve problems. They design products, systems, devices, and structures to improve our living conditions. They work with engineers and are concerned with the practical aspects of engineering in planning and production.
2. How can visualizing help an engineer in the design process?
Visualization can help an engineer to mentally picture things that do not exist. Besides, engineers with good visualization ability are able to picture things in their minds. Furthermore, good visualization skills allow them to control mental image, allowing them to move around the image, change the form, look inside, and picture the inside of the mental image of the design problem.
3. What are the three main areas or phases of the model-centered design process? Do the activities in these areas happen in a sequential fashion?
The three main areas of phases of the model-centered design process are ideation, refinement, and implementation. Model-centered engineering design is a nonlinear team approach to design that brings together the input, processes, and output elements necessary to produce a product.
4. Explain how PLM is used in the design process. What is its relationship to CIC?
Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) is an organizational model that involves all the company’s department, including the engineering design process, in the design and manufacture of a product. In addition to CAD software, specialized software products and technologies are used in conjunction. PLM is used as a basis for creating the accumulated corporate intellectual capital (CIC) of a company or organization.
5. Outline the steps of problem identification in the ideation phase.
Problem identification is an ideation process which consisting six elements: Problem statement, Research, Data gathering, Objectives, Limitations, and
