TURN IN: Fill in the blanks for each interviewee.

Define a Customer Needs Statement.

Who is/are the customer(s)?

What does the customer need from the engineer?

Requirements

Tell you what the design must do (minimum standards to be met)

Provide design opportunities

Constraints

Tell you the limits of the design

Constrain design opportunities

Requirements + Constraints Design Specifications

Requirements and constraintsdescribe necessary aspects of a design.

Define some requirementsand constraints for the design.

After analyzing the interview statements, what do we know about what the design must or must not do?

After analyzing the interview statements, what do we know about what the design must or must not do?

How can we organize this information?

Define some requirementsand constraints for the design.

Place post-it notes on the appropriate pages in your notebook to denote the following items: Know/Need to Know List
