Study Questions: 1 Chapter 1.introduction To Engineering Materials and Their Properties

A designer should consider properties like function, shape, strength and other qualities when designing a piece of pastel. The most important property for a pastel is its hardness, as it needs to hold its shape but not be too hard to break during use. When selecting materials, a systematic approach is needed and factors like cost, availability, properties and manufacturing methods must be considered. The material design process is both open and closed ended, as materials are continually developed but must meet the design needs.
