Subjects : engineering, ib
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The design contains those implicit features of a product that are recognized as essential by a majority of manufacturers and purchasers






2. A brand is a product from a known source (organization). the name of the organization can also serve as a brand






3. The simplest form of carbohydrate - consisting of one sugar residue. they are the building blocks for disaccharides and polysaccharides






4. A volume production process involving machines controlled by humans






5. A style or trend






6. The incorporation of gas into a food product. it may be air - which is often beaten in - or carbon dioxide - which can be introduced under pressure (for example - to aerated water) or by the action of yeast (for example - in bread)






7. A technique that uses a fluid support structure that can be washed and drained away. Used for more intricate internal construction where it would be difficult to break away supports.






8. The difference in electrical potential between two points.






9. A technique that uses break- away supports. Break- away structure can be difficult to remove from detailed areas.






10. Using creative ability to produce a wide range of possible solutions to a problem






11. The research and analysis of the mechanics of living organisms






12. Representative users perform realistic tasks by interacting with a paper version of the user- product interface that is manipulated by a person acting as a computer - who does not explain how the interface works






13. An individual working outside or inside an organisation who is committed to the invention of a novel product and often becomes isolated because he or she is engrossed with ideas that imply change and are resisted by others






14. Where the impetus for a new design emanates from a technological development.






15. A measure of how fast heat is conducted through a slab of material with a given temperature difference across the slab.






16. Z axis for depth - X and Y for direction of cut e.g. milling - routing - engraving






17. A volume production process involving machines controlled by computers






18. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long hydrocarbon chain - usually straight






19. A product development process obtained through 3D - parametric and associative CAD systems. The main feature of this new method is that the design originates as a concept and gradually evolves into a complete product consisting of components and sub-

20. Where a completely new product is devised by going back to the roots of a problem and thinking about a solution in a different way.






21. An isometric drawing of an object with more than one component that depicts how the parts of assemblies fit together






22. An emerging technology that interfaces the user via the sense of touch






23. This is a measure of a material's ability to conduct electricity. a material with low electrical resistivity will conduct electricity well.






24. A flexible computer- operated machine that is able to perform a range of tasks in an efficient and accurate manner






25. Designing in relation to materials during processing






26. Fatty acids that are required in the human diet. this means that it cannot be synthesized by the body from other fatty acids and must be obtained from food.






27. Increasing sales to existing customers or finding new customers for an existing product






28. A system of manufacturing that uses computers to integrate the processing of production - business and manufacturing in order to create more efficient production lines






29. An adverse food- induced reaction that does not involve the immune system






30. Resources that are naturally replenished in a short time.






31. The manufacture of 3D parts by removing (cutting) unwanted material from a block






32. Refers to materials and devices that operate at the nanoscale. 'Nano' means a billionth. A nanometer is one- billionth of a meter






33. A sophisticated CIM system that manufactured products to individual customer orders. the benefits of economy of scale are gained whether the order is for a single item or thousands






34. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






35. A measurement of the relative percentages of fat and muscle mass in the human body - in which weight in kilograms is divided by height in metres and the result used as and index of obesity






36. The ability to analyse information in order to select an answer from alternatives






37. The smallest part of an element that can exist chemically






38. A small- scale production process centred on manual skill






39. Someone who resists all technological change.






40. The mass per unit volume of a material






41. 3D printing process using a vat of photosensitive resin and a vertically moving platform. Laser beam directed onto surface of resin to print patter of current model's layer by hardening resin. Platform then moves down by a layer thickness so the next






42. Pleasure derived from the sensory organs - including pleasures connected with touch - taste - smell and sensual pleasure






43. Finding new applications for different products - thereby opening up new markets






44. A measure of the degree of increase in dimensions when an object is heated. This can be measured by an increase in length - area or volume. The expansivity can be measured as the fractional increase in dimension per kelvin increase in temperature.






45. 3 linear axes (X -Y -Z) and two rotary axes (A -B) e.g. milling machine






46. The property of being biologically compatible by not producing a toxic - injurious or immunological response in living tissue






47. A computer- based machine or robot that has the ability to learn from information gained through feedback






48. The application of scientific information concerning the relationship of human beings to the design of objects - systems and environments






49. An evaluation of the actual performance of the task or learning objective using the conditions under which it will be performed and the absolute standard for acceptable performances






50. Someone who immediately welcomes a technological change.
