Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of the Project Engineering Notebook?

  • To evaluate design alternatives
  • To identify constraints in the design process
  • To establish a test plan against requirements
  • To manage the design process and document progress (correct)

What is the focus of the Problem Definition stage in the design process?

  • Evaluating design objectives
  • Identifying design alternatives
  • Defining the problem in detail without implying a solution (correct)
