| Table 1: Component Assessment Questions |
| Component Function |
| What function does the component perform? |
| Does the component help to perform multiple functions? |
| What flows are associated with the component? |
| What environment does the component function in? |
| Component Form (Geometry, Material, and Appearance) |
| What is the general shape of the component? |
| Does it have any notable properties (e.g. axis-symetric)? |
| Is it primarily one, two, or three dimensional? |
| How large is the component (L x W x H)? |
| How is the component’s shape coupled to the function the component performs? |
| What does the component (roughly) weigh? |
| What material is the component made from? |
| Did manufacturing decisions impact this? |
| Is a specific material property needed for it to function? |
| How did global, societal, economic, and environmental factors influence the decision? |
| What are the aesthetic properties of the component? |
| Does the component have an aesthetic purpose? |
| What color is the component and why? |
| What type of surface finish does the component have? |
| Is this for functional or aesthetic reasons? |
| Manufacturing Methods |
| What manufacturing methods were used to make the part? |
| What evidence supports this? |
| Did material choice impact this decision? |
| Did shape impact the method selected? |
| How did global, societal, economic, and environmental factors influence the decision? |
| Component Complexity |
| How complex is each component? |
| Define a meaningful scale? |
| How do the three categories above impact complexity? |
| How complex are the interactions? |
| How can you define a meaningful scale? |
