Technological Design and Problem Solving Flashcards
3rd phase of engineering design: 1)is the project based on an achievable idea? 2) is it affordable? (from an experienced engineer)
feasibility assessment
4th phase - establishes software & hardware tests and requirements, carried out with feasibility phase
design requirements phase
1st phase - engineering design process (examining and learning about the problem)
research phase
2nd phase - engineering design process (brainstorming, trigger word, listing problems)
concepualization phase
6th phase - very specific detailed models and drawings, CAD programs
Detailed Design Phase
5th phase - defines the overall design, schematics, layouts, diagrams in a general way and meant to be changed
Preliminary Design Phase
7th phase - plan for mass production of product and tools to be used, creating of working prototype
Production Planning Phase
8th phase - manufacturing of the product and conducting periodic tests of machinery
Production Phase
the combination of systems and their collection of interconnected parts or processes
Integrated Systems & Systems Thinking
systematic squences of actions through which himans create, design, invent, produce, control, maintain, and use products and systems. how resources are turned into products.
Processes
natural resources, synthetic resources (plastics, alloys, concrete, and mixed resources (leather, plywood, paper)
Materials
labor and manpower (agruable the most important resource)
People
money and all other financial instruments to create and maintain techn logical systems
Capital
Tools & machines, processes, materials, people, capital, energy, time, information
Resources to carry out Technological Activities
cost, availibility, desirability, waste, changing materials
Tradeoffs
ability to preform work and and apply to convert into a function or product
Energy
allocated for the perfromance of any activity, is limited, to be used effectively and efficiently
Time
to gather data
Information
criteria for the final design and development of a system or project
Requirements
products mee design requirements and customers recieve functions products
Quality Control
efficient and functional
Optimization
set of rigorous international quality standards that are applicable to numerous types of organizations: ()proper recourds, constant evaluation, examination of defects, method for continuous improvement, regular reviews) * does not guarantee a certain level of quality*
ISO 9000
created and published construction satandards for the disabled
ADA - Americans with Disibilities Act
carried out by both private industry and government to constantly innovate and develop new technolocies
R&D - Research and Development
