What is Reverse Engineering Merriam Webster defines this as: “to study the parts of (something) to see how it was made and how it works so that you can make something that is like it” Dictionary .com “to study or analyze (a device, as a microchip for computers) in order to learn details of design, construction, and operation, perhaps to produce a copy or an improved version.”

Key Questions 1 What are the implications of using reverse engineering? How do we benefit from reverse engineering? Pros Faster to market Reduced development costs (months vs years) Faster Return on Investment Potentially a better product More products to produce – parts or whole assembly SAFETY is a necessary part of Engineering Cons Potential Patent Infringement Possible unknown problems Lack of developed supply chain Commodity pricing on products No intellectual property Seen as a “Me too” company

Key Questions 2 Did engineers use reverse engineering on alien space craft in order to advance human knowledge? What do you think and why? I am not aware of an alien space craft ever being discovered or used to influence the development of science on Earth. With the number of stars and potential number of planets, I do suspect an alien culture does exist. What is the form and technology of this culture is currently unknown.

Material Properties - Metals

Material Selection Select material based on: Loading Temperature Chemical Compatibility Visual appeal Resistance to – corrosion, wear, abrasion, etc.

Testing Charpy V Notch – Glass Transition, when normally ductile materials become brittle. Hardness – correlates with Tensile strength, but also shows surface resistance to damage and biologics. X-Ray – a test that is done to determine the presence of voids, occlusions, debris, cracks, potential embrittlement issues, etc. Tensile- Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), Yield, Stress/Strain Curve, 0.2% offset yield Aging – used to determine chemical compatibility of a polymer with a fluid Ladle Chemistry – determines grade and specification, quality control, potential brittleness, Carbon content (equivalency)

Education Levels High School Post Secondary – University Good grades required, do sciences and maths where possible, ie. Physics, Chemistry, Calculus, etc. Post Secondary – University Bachelor’s Degree - Undergrad The most important degree, typically takes 4 to 6 years to complete Masters Degree - Graduate Specializes one’s education into a specific area Add 2 years to the Bachelor PhD – Doctorate - Graduate Add 3 to 5 years beyond the Bachelor Requirement in Academia, very useful in the research departments of corporations.

Alternate Routes B Eng. Tech – 4 Year Program at University A pared down engineering degree that addresses a position between Engineer and Technologist Focused on Technology and fabrication Technologist – 3 year program at CC More math orientation addresses a master tradesman, specialist, etc. Technician – 1 – 2 Year Program at CC Mechanic, Refrigeration Tech., Lab Tech., etc
