What is Engineering Design
Iterative- problem solving method
2 types of energy
Renewable and Non Renewable
4 different properties of materials
Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical, and Magnetic

When the designer must make a choice between positive and negative impact for a product.
Trade-Off
list the 12 steps of the EDP in order
Difference between the Sankey Flow Diagram and Flow Diagram.
Sankey shows the energy and how it is converted and the wasted energy. Flow shows all the energy and how it is used.

How is energy converted in a coal plant.
1) Coal is transported into a coal plant 2) Heat causes the water to steam 3) Steam turns the turbine which is attached to a generator 4) Generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy 5) It is stored and transported to the consumer.
2 basic levels of manufacturing .

3-D (mock-up & prototype)"energy can neither be created nor destroyed, however energy can flow from one form to another"
Law of Conservation of Energy
What are interchangeable parts.
identical parts manufactured to a specification so that 1 part cam easily be replaced with another without having to build a custom part.
