Evaluation should be based upon the following requirements/criteria:
- Does the design create the safest product within constraints?
- Does the design adhere to industry/legal safety standards?
- Has the design been tested?
- Has the design minimized the risk to the end user (i.e., consumer) and artisan (i.e., manufacturer)?
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is a constraint that may affect product safety?
- Why are product safety standards sometimes compromised by industry?
- How do product safety standards affect design?
- Why are engineers required to predict potential misuses of products? What methods are used to balance feasibility of manufacturing and employee/customer safety?
