Activity 9.1 Product Lifecycle


Activity 9.1 Product Lifecycle


Conclusion
1.      What is meant by product lifecycle?

 Product life-cycle is the process in which the object designed by engineer goes through.

2.      Why is it important for companies who make products to research and determine a product’s potential lifecycle?

 This is important to determine the sources of material for product and to change the factory place in accordance with bulk-gaining or bulk-reducing industry. As well as the duration the product will be used by each person and to ensure its proper disposal.

3.      What would you change about your product? Why?

 I think the product should be changed to be more tough. Because we didn't do a structural integrity test yet. As well as assembling by more interlocking wood joint.

4.      Do you think your product will evolve or become obsolete over time? Why?

 The product can evolve if  new discoveries are made about the truth about ancient catapult.  Because our design is based on ancient design. 

5.      What is a trade-off?

 Trade-off is losing something to gain something else. 

6.      Do you think that trade-offs were made during the design phase of your product?

 We did trade off for unique and complex design for a more working catapult that seems balanced

7.      Why is it important to recycle?

 Recycling prevent pilling in landfill hence more land available for other development.

8.      How do product designers play a role in recycling?

 Designers need to create methods of recycling and to make sure products are recyclable. 

9.      What role does society play in the recycling effort?

 Society needs to promote recycling in order to reduce waste.

10. What can you do to help?


I can help by placing waste in proper bin and trying to buy products with  recyclable materials.

Activity 3.1b Linear Measurement with US Customary Units Procedure Conclusion 1.                   When you look at a drawing, how do you know if you are looking at U S Customary or SI measurements? Why is it important for an engineer to know this piece of information? US customary system has fractions. Moreover SI measurements are only in power of tens while US customary system is not. Engineers need to know this information or else they will end with the wrong measurements, which leads to  too little or too large designs.
