Reverse Engineering

Ricky purchased a used iPad 3 in order to take it apart to study both the subsystems and how it operates. This is an example of:

• the universal system.

• forward engineering.

• core technology.

• reverse engineering.

If Fred were to design a new cell phone and builds a replica of the case, he would be constructing a/an:

• duplicate.

• mock-up.

• prototype.

• experiment.

When you build and test a design in order to collect realistic data regarding its performance is called:

• duplicate.

• mock-up.

• prototype.

Following a step-by-step process to build a functional system is called:

• forward engineering.

• duplicate.

• reverse engineering.

• sankey diagram.

ACME, INC. lost the original blueprints to produce a classic toy. With the toy becoming popular again, the company conduct __________ in order to record the subsystems used in addition to the step-by-step process to make it.

• universal system

• reverse engineering

• fatigue test.

• troubleshooting.

When testing electric motors, students discovered that when the input power increased, the speed of the motor shafts increased. Which graphical representation would best enable the students to systematically examine this relationship?

• Bar chart

• Line graph

• Pie chart

• Scatter plot

Engineers developed a product that is too large to build and to test a prototype. In order to save its budget (moneys), the team must conduct _____ in order to collect data and to determine the product's quality and performance.

• a mock-up.

• reverse engineering.

• computer-based simulation.

• tensile test.

The productivity of a design may be established by testing a:
