    When a group of parts is pre-assembled and brought into a larger group of parts as a single unit, they are referred to as ____.

    • Subassemblies

    • Subsystems

    • Exponential components

    • Mathematical modes

    Correct Answer
    A. Subassemblies
    Explanation
    When a group of parts is pre-assembled and brought into a larger group of parts as a single unit, they are referred to as subassemblies. This term is commonly used in manufacturing and engineering to describe the process of combining smaller components into a larger unit before final assembly. Subassemblies help streamline the production process and make it more efficient by reducing the number of individual parts that need to be handled and assembled.

    Which of these is not a reason to perform reverse engineering on a product?

    • Visual, structural and Functional analysis

    • Discovery and Investigation

    • Product Improvement

    • Marketing Analysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Marketing Analysis
    Explanation
    Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing a product to understand its design, functionality, and manufacturing process. It is commonly used for purposes such as visual, structural, and functional analysis, discovery and investigation, and product improvement. However, reverse engineering is not typically performed for marketing analysis. Marketing analysis involves studying market trends, consumer behavior, and competition to make informed decisions about product positioning, pricing, and marketing strategies. Reverse engineering may not provide the necessary insights for marketing analysis, as it focuses more on technical aspects of the product rather than market dynamics.
