GEC Scenario #43G: Finishing Design
This sample scenario is from a collection of 70+ Global Engineering Competency (GEC) scenarios developed for instructional and assessment purposes. For more information, including links to usage tips and other supporting resources, visit our About page.
| Your engineering team is finishing design of a new electronic component that will be marketed to manufacturers of precision machine tools, particularly in Germany. A controversy has erupted over whether this new component should include some advanced features that have not yet been fully tested and are not of immediate use to your clients. Some of your colleagues argue that the new features could bolster your firm’s reputation for innovation and extend the longevity of the product line. What would you do? |
