IOT POLY ENGINEERING I1-6 September 8, 2008 On a new sheet of paper, begin creating a chart for the 9 core technologies. Drill

POLY ENGINEERING

IOT POLY ENGINEERING I1-6 1.Safety – is the product safe to use/construct? 2.Reliability – will it work consistently over time? 3.Cost – is it affordable? 4.Quality Control – does it meet customer requirements? 5.Environmental Concerns – does it harm the natural or human environment negatively? 6.Manufacturability – can it be made? 7.Maintenance – how easily can it be maintained or upheld? 8.Ergonomics – how efficiently can the human body utilize it? Constraints on the Engineering Design Process (A constraint is a limit or restriction)
