A boundary box, an overall function, function tree, known flow of materials

What is Benchmarking

Survey of existing designs(Reverse engineering)

What is a Problem Statement



A solution independent statement that preserves only the essential characteristics of the design problem

Group Vs. Team

-Group is a collection of people with some common characteristics or purpose


-Team is two or more people working together to achieve a shared goal

What are the Dynamics of a Team?

-Dynamic exchange of information and resources


-Task activities coordinated among individuals


-High level of interdependence among team members


-Ongoing adjustments to both the team and individual task demands


-A shared authority and mutual accountability for performance



What are the 4 Team Roles

Human Resources Person, Spokesperson, Chief Engineer, Captain

What is Pugh Matrix

Matrix Diagram that allows for the comparison of a number of design candidates leading ultimately to which best meets a set of criteria

What is a Decision Matrix

The team first establishes a list of weighted criteria and then evaluates each option against those criteria

What is Time Estimation Equation

Hours=A*PC*D^(0.85)

What does each variable mean in time estimation equation PC, D, A,

-PC=Project Complexity(j1*Fj1)+(j2*Fj2)+(...):


j=Level in the functional diagram


Fj=Number of functions at that level


-A=Constant based on Past Projects


Small Company=30

Production


Accuracy Vs. Precision

-Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual value


-Precision is how close the measured values are to each other

What is Orthographic Projection

A 3 dimensional object shown using several 2 dimensional planes(However many is necessary to accurately show object)

What is Isometric Projection

A 3 dimensional object shown with 3 visible sides of the object from the same angle to each other.

Describe Perspective Projections

Type of projection that represents objects as we see them or as they would appear in a photograph

Describe Parallel Projections

Type of projection that projectors are parallel with object

Describe Orthographic Projection in respect to Parallel Projections

Parallel projectors are perpendicular to the plane of projection

Describe Oblique projection in respect to Parallel Projections

Projectors are parallel to each other, but are at an angle other than 90 ̊ to the plane of projection

Describe Axonometric View

Object is tipped to the planes of projection so that principal faces, such as the top, side, and front, show in a single view

What are Isometric Axes

The angles in the isometric projection of the cube are either 120 ̊ or 60 ̊, and all are projections of 90 ̊ angles

What are Isometric planes

Lines of an isometric drawing that are parallel to the isometric axes

What are Nonisometric Lines

Lines of an isometric drawing that are not parallel to the isometric axes
