Exam 3: Introduction to Engineering Design

Engineers follow certain steps when designing products and services.These steps include understanding the need for the product or service, doing the preliminary research, generating ideas for a solution, selecting the best idea, evaluating it in more detail and testing it, optimizing it if necessary, and presenting the final design.

Which is the best approach to conflict resolution?

Good problems solvers are those who first fully understand what the problem is.

The Underwriters Laboratories Inc.(UL) performs product safety tests and certifications for laboratory use only.

During which phase of the engineering design process do you begin to consider details, perform calculations, run computer models, and narrow down the types of materials to be used?

List at least three material properties that engineers consider when selecting a material for a design project.

Following certain standards and codes during the design process helps to ensure

List at least four of the eight roles of team members as outlined in the textbook.

The internationally recognized green building certification system known as LEED is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

There are several ways to control the level of contaminants in indoor air, examples include source elimination or removal, proper ventilation, exposure control, and air cleaning.

Examples of stationary sources include power plants, factories, and dry cleaners.

The MCLG is legally enforceable.

Generating ideas or concepts that could offer reasonable solutions to your problem is part of which phase in the engineering design process?

The source of outdoor air pollution (Figure 3.12) may be classified into three broad categories: the stationary sources, the mobile sources, and the natural sources.

Give at least three examples of mobile sources of outdoor air pollution.
