Course: Engineering Studies (21002) > Section: Practicing Engineering Fundamentals

Reverse engineering should include

- analyzing the product (e.g., determining its intended application)
- working backward from a finished item (function)
- disassembling the product, process, or idea
- measuring parts and assembly, if applicable
- finding ways to improve the product, process, or idea.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What can be learned from reverse engineering?
- What are the steps to reverse-engineer a product?
- What steps should be taken to improve the product after reverse engineering, while still meeting the goal?
