OCR Engineering Design R105 Mixed questions || 100% Verified
Solutions.
Explain what Anthropometrics is. correct answers The collection of human measurement data
used to inform designing products for the correct size e.g. the span of your hand will be used to
determine where to place buttons on a remote control.
Explain what Ergonomics is. correct answers The study of how people interact with the products
or systems around them. Making a product fit for purpose and safe to use.
Aesthetics is ... correct answers A comment describing the way a product looks, smells, feels,
tastes or sounds (five senses)
Batch Production is ... correct answers Making a series of groups of identical products. Each
item in the batch passes through one stage of production before passing on to the next stage.
What does the term Client mean? correct answers The person or company who commissions the
designer to design the product..
CAD is ... correct answers Computer Aided Design. Using a computer programme e.g. 2D
Design to design, google sketch up or Solidworks.
CAM is ... correct answers Computer Aided Manufacture sending the CAD Design e.g. 2D
Design to a laser cutter to cut out.
CNC is ... correct answers Computer numerical control e.g. laser cutter, CNC router/milling
machines, 3D printers. The machines use X, Y and Z axis to determine where to work.
Context means ... correct answers The situation (background information) that informs the design
problem/design brief.
, What happens in the Design Phase? correct answers Development of design specification;
Development of a range of design ideas; Selection & justification of chosen design ideas;
Presentation of chosen ideas; Development of planning & engineering drawings; Manufacturing
plan.
Explain what the Design Cycle is. correct answers The process a designer goes through to create
a product (Identify, Design, Optimise, Evaluate).
What is Design for Manufacturing Assembly (DFMA)? correct answers Simplifying a product to
make manufacturing and assembly easier and cheaper to do e.g. can the product be made in one
piece instead of two.
Explain what Design for Disassembly is. correct answers Designing products so that they can be
easily taken apart for recycling of materials or replacing/repairing parts.
What does it mean to consider environmental issues? correct answers Designers have a
responsibility to design with the environment in mind, considering use of materials, processes
and life cycle of products.
What stages happen in the Evaluate Phase? correct answers Justification of design ideas; Market
testing; Product testing - virtual & physical processes; Evaluation of success of solution against
design brief and specification.
What is Fairtrade? correct answers A movement that works to help people in developing
countries get a fair deal (price) for the products that they produce and sell.
Explain what a Feedback Survey is. correct answers Is questions a designer asks of the target
market (potential customers) about their ideas/designs/prototypes to help the designer
design/modify their ideas/prototype.
