Design Factors Safety u Reliability u Economic Consideration u Quality Control u Environmental Concerns u Manufacturability u Maintenance / Repair u Ergonomics u
Safety u To comply with codes and regulations so as to provide safe operations of products by the developer and the consumer.
Reliability/Functionality u The process of a product working properly utilizing proper materials within the development constraints
Economic Considerations u Development of jobs and products for the marketplace for individuals to purchase and pay tax on.
Quality Control u Requires information feedback related to measurement tolerances and specifications to assure proper production of products.
Environmental Concerns u Developing products that are produced in harmony with our environment and recyclable.
Manufacturability u The ability of a product to be produced through feasible means and meet a need using available materials and resources
Maintenance/Repair u Products produced with the intention of long life and low maintenance along with simple field replacement units.
Ergonomics u The study of workplace equipment design or how to arrange and design devices, machines, or workspace so that people and things interact safely and most efficiently.
Prototype u A full scale working model
Communication Systems u u Design Example Wireless systems utilizing the Internet and advances in satellites present and future not yet imagined.
