Title: Evaluate the requirements and constraints of each potential solution to the design problem.
Course: Engineering Explorations I (21005-I) > Section: Examining the Engineering Design Process

Evaluation should include requirements and constraints including but not limited to

- environmental effects
- societal effects
- sustainability
- cost and budget
- time requirements and limitations
- resources needed, including availability or non-availability
- use of a decision matrix.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why should one analyze the requirements and constraints of the various solutions?
- What might be the consequences of not analyzing the requirements and constraints?
- Why is time often limited?
- Why is sustainability an important issue?
- What is a decision matrix?
