6
What is NOT typically included in user requirements?
Constraints the product must adhere to
Functions the product needs to perform
Qualitative descriptions that guide design
Specific design solutions or materials
7
How does functional decomposition contribute to conceptual design?
By increasing the production cost

9
What are user requirements in engineering design?
Detailed engineering drawings
Functions and constraints a product must adhere to
Marketing strategies for the product
Manufacturing guidelines
10
What challenge does translating user requirements into design specifications address?
Making the requirements less relevant
Making sure the requirements are measurable and quantifiable
Ensuring requirements are vague and flexible
Reducing the cost of the final product automatically
11
Which of these is a characteristic of good user requirements?
Complicated and technical
Ambiguous and broad
Non-specific and general
Clear and unambiguous
12
What is emphasized about the design materials?
They are comprehensive and the only source needed
They should not be the sole source of learning
They are not useful for practical learning
They are mostly theoretical
13
Which of the following is NOT a rule of brainstorming?
Plan stages for effective use of time
Ideas must be feasible
Document everything
No judgement
14
What is NOT a source for gathering information on client needs?
Financial reports of the company
End-user surveys
Competitor analysis
Meetings with clients
15
Which of the following best describes the purpose of a physical prototype?
To be sold as the final product
To be used as the only marketing tool
To test design concepts against real-world requirements
To fulfill legal requirements
16
What is a direct result of having well-defined user requirements?
An increase in the product's market competition
More iterations needed through the early design stages
A higher chance of project cancellation
Fewer iterations needed through the early design stages
17
What is the main benefit of using sketches in conceptual design?
They help in fundraising
They are legally binding
They are used for final product testing
They facilitate the development and discussion of ideas
18
What is the purpose of ideation and sketching in conceptual design?
To serve as a basis for discussion and development of ideas
To train new team members
To finalise the product design
To perform cost analysis
19
Which of the following is true about rapid prototyping?
It is a theoretical model with no physical or digital representation.
It is used only in the final stages of product development.
It is expensive compared to getting the design right the first time.
It helps in communicating the design and testing it against requirements.
20
How should user requirements be expressed?
