B.E. Degree Examinations: April/May 2012

This document appears to be an exam for a Mechatronics Engineering course, covering topics related to product design and development. It contains multiple choice and long answer questions. Some of the key topics addressed include: designing for production and the distinction between product design and process design functions; factors that influence creative thinking like curiosity and imagination; the importance of building functionality into a product's design; methods for estimating product costs; different forms of intellectual property protection like patents, trademarks, and copyrights; quality control procedures; and analyzing the feasibility of a new product using a break-even chart. The exam seems aimed at testing students' understanding of the full product development process from initial design through production and quality assurance.
