Generate engineering characteristics for the following:
These are case dependent
a. Easy to hold
b. Cost-effective
c. Safe for the environment
d. Easy to maintain
What will be an ideal response?
a. If it is a pencil for example it is easy to hold some prismatic structure while if it is a bag the size of the handle would make it easy to hold.
b. Cost effectiveness ensures return or value addition for every dime spent. In the development of a sandwich this may be nutrients per cent in cost, calories per cent etc.
c. Environmental safety can be measured by the amount of resources consumed and the amount of harmful emissions and their intensity etc. Depending on the specific case the right engineering characteristic should be identified.
d. Maintenance is the function of keeping an appliance in the ‘State of functioning’ by identifying the defect and correcting it easily and quickly. This can be measured by the easiness to identify the defect and easy access to the frequent trouble point.
