Challenge 1 Hard

The P.A.J.I. Architect: You planned to use Super Glue to attach a fabric strap to a plastic box. When you tried it, the glue "ate" through the plastic. You switched to Pop Rivets. Write a P.A.J.I. entry for this change.

  • Solution:
  • Planned: Attach strap using cyanoacrylate (Super Glue).
  • Actual: Switched to mechanical Pop Rivets.
  • Justification: Chemical reaction between the glue and the specific polymer caused melting/damage.
  • Impact: Increased structural strength, but added visible metal dots to the exterior (slight aesthetic change).
  • Hint: Be specific about the "Why" and the "Ripple Effect."

💡 Hint: Be specific about the "Why" and the "Ripple Effect."

Challenge 2 Hard

Impact Analysis: A designer chooses to skip the "Sanding" stage of their wooden base because they are running out of time. Use the Analyzing Impact section to explain why this is a poor management decision.

  • Answer: Skipping the stage has a major impact on Aesthetics (the finish will look unprofessional) and Safety (there may be splinters). It also affects the Function of any paint or varnish applied later. While it saves time, the negative impact on the final solution outweighs the small resource gain.
  • Hint: Look at how one step affects the "Ripple" of the others.
