1.3. Write a generalized view of engineering project cycle times, new model introduction speed, and the increasing globalization of design and manufacturing resources. Discuss the topics of metrics and how they could be used in measuring the technical performance of engineers, managers, and engineering projects. Give one example of a global product and its successive generations from major companies. You may also choose from any product family such as autos, airplanes, printers, TVs, computer displays, TV recorders, cell phones, and computers (desktops, laptops, or tablets), and trace their evolution in performance, cost, and quality through successive generations of new products now and in the past.
