24-25 SGM #1 - Engineering Design Parameters

What is the primary purpose of determining design parameters in engineering design?

• To ensure the design is aesthetically pleasing

• To ensure the design is feasible and manufacturable

• To reduce the cost of materials

• To increase the complexity of the design

DOK Level 1: Recall

Which of the following is a design parameter that involves assessing the availability of skilled workers?

• Materials

• Personnel

• Resources

• Funding

Tags

DOK Level 1: Recall

Identify a key factor that affects the manufacturability of a product.

• The color of the product

• The complexity of the design

• The marketing strategy

• The target audience

DOK Level 1: Recall

Which design parameter is directly related to the financial aspect of a project?

• Time

• Resources

• Funding

• Personnel

Tags

DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain why time is considered a critical design parameter in engineering projects.

• It determines the color scheme of the project.

• It affects the project completion and delivery schedule.

• It influences the choice of materials.

• It impacts the number of personnel required.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

How does the choice of materials impact the feasibility of an engineering design?

• It determines the project's aesthetic appeal.

• It affects the durability and cost of the project.

• It influences the number of personnel needed.

• It impacts the project's marketing strategy.

Tags

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Describe a scenario where resource availability could limit the feasibility of an engineering project.

• A project requires a rare material that is not readily available.

• A project is completed ahead of schedule.

• A project has an unlimited budget.

• A project is designed for a small target audience.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

What reasoning process would you use to determine the most cost-effective material for a project?

• Guessing based on previous projects

• Analyzing material properties and costs

• Choosing the cheapest material available

• Selecting materials based on color

Tags

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

How would you plan a project timeline to ensure all design parameters are met efficiently?

• By setting arbitrary deadlines

• By considering each parameter's impact on the timeline

• By focusing only on the funding aspect

• By ignoring personnel availability

Tags

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Evaluate the impact of insufficient funding on the feasibility of an engineering project.

• It may lead to a more innovative design.

• It can cause delays and reduce the quality of materials used.

• It will have no impact if the design is simple.

• It will only affect the marketing strategy.
