1. What is the big idea for this lesson:
__________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________ is the process of moving from high-level
abstractions and logical designs to the physical implementation of a system.
3. ____________________________________ is the process of taking something apart and
analyzing its workings in detail, usually with the intention to construct a new
device or program that does the same thing without actually copying anything
from the original.
4. Why revers engineering?
a. The original manufacturer of a product
________________________________________________________________________________.
b. The original design documentation
________________________________________________________________________________.
c. Some bad features of a product need to be _______________________________.
d. To explore new avenues to _________________________ product
_______________________________ and ________________________________.
e. To gain ______________________________ benchmarking methods to
understand _________________________ products and develop
________________________ products.
f. To _________________________ _______________________ materials or antiquated
manufacturing processes with more ________________________,
______________________________________ technologies.
5. Reverse Engineering includes:
a. Identifying the __________________ components and their
__________________________
b. Creating _________________________ of the system in another form or
_________________ ________________ abstraction.
c. Creating the __________________________ _______________________ of that
system.
6. The first step of reverse engineering is ____________________________. This
covers..
a. What is the ___________________ of the product?
b. How the product ___________________.
c. What ____________________ was the product designed to _______________ to?
d. List some of the __________________________________________ for the product.
e. List some of the ___________________ that may have ____________________ the
design.

7. The second step of reverse engineering is _____________________________. This step
covers.
a. How do you _____________________it _________________________?
b. How does it meet design __________________________________ (overall)?
c. Why is it _______________________________ the way it is?
8. The third step of reverse engineering is ______________________________. This step
covers.
a. How ________________________it __________________________?
b. How is it _______________________________?
c. How many _____________________________?
d. How many _____________________________ _________________________________?
e. Any ____________________________________?
9. The fourth step of reverse engineering is ______________________________. This step
covers.
a. Carefully ________________________ and ___________________________
subsystems (i.e. structural, mechanical, and electrical)
b. Develop _______________________ _______________________________ that include
____________________________ and notes on components, system design,
safety, and controls
10. The final step of reverse engineering is ______________________________. This step
covers.
a. Carefully ________________________ the product
b. ______________________ the device and record ________________________ about
its performance in terms of ______________________ (operational and
ergonomic) and projected ________________________________.
11. ________________________ includes the following:
a. Inferred ______________________ goals
b. Inferred _______________________
c. Design (functionality, form [geometry], and materials)
d. ___________________________ diagrams
e. Lists (materials, components, critical components, flaws, successes,
etc.)
f. Identify any _________________________ that might enhance the products
______________________________
g. ______________________ and _____________________
