| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why do engineers use reverse engineering? | To learn how an object operates how components are made in order to document, investigate, or improve something about it. |
| What is asymmetry? | Symmetry in which both halves of a composition are not identical. Also referred to as informal balance. |
| What is symmetry? | The correspondence in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a median line or about a central axis. Also referred to as formal balance. |
| What are proportions? | The relationship of one thing to another in size, amount, etc. |
| What is balance? | A condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. |
| What is form? | Having the three dimensions of length, width, and depth and organization, placement, or relationship of basic elements so as to produce a coherent image. |
| What is color? | The property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light. |
| What is rhythm? | A regularly recurring sequence of events or actions. |
| What is graphic design? | The art of combining text and pictures in advertisements, magazines, books, etc. |

| What is radial symmetry? | Symmetry about a central axis. |
| What is value? | The lightness or darkness of a color in relation to a scale ranging from white to black. |
| What is reverse engineering? | The process of taking something apart and analyzing its workings in detail. |
| What is shape? | The two-dimensional outline that characterizes an object or area, in contrast to three-dimensional form. |
| What is emphasis? | Special importance, value, or prominence given to something. |
| What considerations should be made when reverse engineering | Visual, functional, and structural analysis |
| What makes a product aesthetically pleasing? | Elements of design (e.g. color, form, balance) |
| How are principals and elements of design used to develop a product? | So they can use these elements of design to make their products more aesthetically pleasing while still being functional. |
| What is the process of reverse engineering? | A black box system is used where you identify what goes in and what comes out, with the black box or unknown internal workings in the middle. |
| Why is it important to have good communication skills? | You must be able to communicate your ideas and how they will solve the problem succinctly and clearly. |
