Working within the engineering and manufacturing sectors

In engineering, the design process begins when …

• Information about an existing product is gathered by an engineer

• An engineering design team comes up with ideas for a new product

• A design engineer recognises the need for a solution to a problem

• Engineering software is used to create a problem not a solution

Quality control is principally concerned with ensuring:

• Process quality

• Staff quality

• Product quality

• Cost control

If an engineering design process is iterative, it allows engineers to ...

• Become proficient at different engineering software applications

• Find the most optimal solution to a design problem

• Incorporate both maths and science concepts into a design problem

• Take the long way round to finding a solution

What is meant by a pattern in a manufacturing process?

• A replica device used to create a mould

• A type of mould made out of resin

• A design to be cut out of sheet metal

• A type of engineering drawing
