After creating a decision matrix for two types of materials used to design a safety belt, an engineer assigns a weight of 4 to nylon for thickness and a weight of 5 to polyester for thickness. The engineer also assigns a weight of 4 to nylon for strength and a weight of 3 to polyester for strength. Polyester is more expensive than nylon. Describe which material would be preferable to use for the safety belt, if cost is prioritized as a criterion

Estimate the effort, time, production and the number of personnel necessary for the development of a Communications system that has a size of 30,000 LDC. In this project there are factors that influence the development and ensure the proper functioning of the system. These are: Complexity of development, staff qualification and advanced knowledge of the language in which it will be developed. Each factor in the order described has a weighted value of 1.15, 0.7 and 0.91 respectively. It is important to mention that the monthly payment per person working in the development is $2,200.

First read Section 2.14 of the Kaminski & Jensen text entitled, The “Pizza” Procedure for Problem Solving (silly name maybe, but it underscores the need to break large problems intomanageable parts). In describing the major parts of the procedure for solving engineeringproblems, an analogy is made to a stool with three legs. Name and describe in a few words the3 “legs” of the procedure for solving engineering problems:
