Document Summary

Engineers must study and research many different aspects of a project before it can be completed. In this assignment, the group was asked to investigate a part and work backwards to see it through the eyes of the engineers that designed it in the first place. By examining the materials, the method, the benefits and the shortcomings of a single part, the goal was to develop a mental image of how products go from a concept to a part in real life. For the project, the group decided on a curtain hanger bracket. This object satisfies the requirements of the project by being a small and simple part that was able to be remodelled and/or redesigned to suit a wider variety of purposes. An important aspect of the group"s decisions was to improve performance without making the new part too complicated. If the part were too complicated, the design would fail in the printed prototype.
