HOW DO WE MAKE CHOICES IN ENGINEERING?
5
Trade-Offs Beginning of solution creation step Analyze advantages and disadvantages of each design Trade-off analysis weighs strengths and weaknesses Trade-off charts List characteristics important to design Rate appropriateness of each quality to solution
6
Common Trade-Off Considerations Economic feasibility Ease of production Appearance Maintenance Marketability Convenience Greenness Multiple uses

Sample Trade-Off Matrix Goodheart-Willcox Publisher
8
Selecting the Best Approach Analyze all data Rely on members of design team Effectively communicate design to those interested Project managers Customers Consumers Engineers Other potential stakeholders
9
Analyzing Data Review records in engineering notebook Analyses performed throughout process Research findings Decide on best approach to solve problem Often have to choose between several that may work Multiple solutions may meet constraints and criteria Look at preferences to make decision
