Assume you are given a task to design either Side-view mirror and Front grill in your first job in automotive industry. In order to design a component or a system you need to satisfy the design criteria. Moreover, the interaction of the component or a system with neighboring component and/or system may pose additional design challenges. Before you begin your design work, answering the following question will help you make right decision and convince the management that your design meet all the criteria.

1) What is the function I need to achieve?

2) What are the metrics (e.g. NVH, FE, Durability, Space, Mass etc.)?

3) What kind of metric is it (lower the better, meet a threshold, nominal the best)?

4) Are there tradeoffs? What metrics are involved in tradeoff

5) What are the system alternatives?

6) What are the packaging tradeoffs?

7) What are the design parameters (Control Factors)?

8) What are the key inputs, outputs?

9) What type(s) of tests or simulation will provide me the desired data to make the tradeoff charts, achieve objectives?

10) Do I know how to do the tests or simulations? If not, how can you get this done?

Prepare a table with the possible answers to above questions. You need to use your imagination and engineering judgement to come up with your arguments.

Assume you are given a task to design either Side-view mirror (students with even ID number) or Front grill (students with odd ID number) in your first job in automotive industry. In order to design a component or a system you need to satisfy the design criteria. Moreover, the interaction of the component or a system with neighboring component and/or system may pose additional design challenges. Before you begin your design work, answering the following question will help you make...

24. Suppose you stand in front of a plane mirror. Your reflected image in the mirror is as far behind the mirror as half your height. half your distance from the mirror. your distance from the mirror. twice your distance from the mirror.

A dentist uses a curved mirror to view the back side of teeth on the upper jaw. Suppose she wants an erect image with a magnification of 2.0 when the mirror is 1.2 cm from a tooth. (Treat this problem as though the object and image lie along a straight line.) Part A Use ray tracing to decide whether a concave or convex mirror is needed, and to estimate its focal length. concave? or convex? Part B Use ray tracing...

A dentist uses a curved mirror to view the back side of teeth in the upper jaw. Suppose she wants an upright image with a magnification of 1.5 when the mirror is 1.9 cm from a tooth. Should she use a convex or a concave mirror? What focal length should it have?

You place a mirror 10 cm in front of your face, which creates an upright image that is twice the height of the object. You then move the mirror along the principle axis until it creates an inverted image twice the height of the object. What kind of mirror must this be and why? Where is the object with respect to the mirror’s focal length for each of the mirror positions? (ie. f < s < R) Draw ray diagrams...

When you hold a spherical concave mirror with a 48.2-cm radius of curvature in front of between your face

Part A When you hold a spherical concave mirror with a 48.2-cm radius of curvature in front of between your face, you see an image of your face that is 61.8 cm in front of the mirror. What is the distance n the mirror and your face? Part B When you hold a spherical concave mirror with a 48.2-cm radius of curvature 39.5 cm in front of your face, you see an image of your face that is 61.8 cm in front of...

a) In front of spherical concave mirror of radius 26cm, you position an object of height 2.6cm somewhere along the principal axis. The result image has a height of 0.8cm. How far from the mirror is the object located? b) In front of a spherical convex mirror of radius 26cm, you position an object of height 2.6cm somewhere already no the principal axis. The resultant image has a height of 0.8cm. How far from the mirror is the object located?...

You are given task to design an experiment to convert 1 kg of water in ice phase at 253 K and 100 kPa into vapor instantaneously. 1. List down possible assumptions (with justification) to ease your experimental setup idea. 2. Sketch a schematic diagram of your experimental setup 3. Construct one experiment method (with step by step methodology) based on the collected diagram and selected apparatus and items used.

You have just joined the design and development group at Panasonic, Inc. The first task you are given is to work on the design of a thermal system to anneal TV glass screens. Each screen is made of semi-transparent glass and weighs 10 kg. You need to heat it from a room temperature of 25°C to 1100°C, maintain it at this temperature for 15 minutes, and then cool slowly to 500°C, after which it may be cooled more rapidly to...

Assume that you have half your money invested in Times Mirror, the media company, and the other half invested in Unilever, the consumer product giant. The expected returns and standard deviations on the two investments are summarized below: ----------------------Times Mirror------ Unilever Expected Return 14%------------- 18% Standard Deviation 25% ------------40% Estimate the variance of the portfolio as a function of the correlation coefficient (Start with –1 and increase the correlation to +1 in 0.2 increments).
