(Ans- Problem Identification
When a product is designed, one of the design considerations is how long will it be used before it is no longer effective, which is called
(Ans- life cycle
environmental concerns are considered throughout the process, not just at the end, because an engineer's choices in the problem definition stage often influence the overall environmental impact and life cycle of the product
(Ans- green engineering
Concept generation is
(Ans- the most creative phase of the design process
A common technique for selecting the final concept is...
(Ans- a weighted decision table

(Ans- mass properties analysis
Engineers can have the shop people build a ____ model, a _____ model, or a ______ model
(Ans-
Scale Model
True Sized Model
Mock-up concept

(Ans- CAM systems
For civil engineering projects, because no prototypes have been built, design modifications are common in the production stage. Contractors may find, for example, that ductwork does not fit within the space provided on the drawings, or they may find that piping needs to be rerouted around an obstruction. For this reason, in civil engineering projects, it is important to continue to document the design by making notations on the drawings where changes are made. These drawings are called
(Ans- as-built drawings
concurrent engineering is sometimes referred to as .....
(Ans- design for manufacturability.
With concurrent engineering, designers, analysts, and manufacturing engineers work together from
(Ans- the initial stages of the design process. In this way, each person can apply his own expertise to the problem at hand from the start
Using the principles of concurrent engineering, manufacturers can save (Ans- thousands, even millions, of dollars.
