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.

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 process of adding the information contained - for example - in the human voice to a suitable electromagnetic carrier






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






3. Pleasures derived from satisfying peoples taste - values and aspirations






4. A short length of extruded pipe for use in blow moulding






5. Apply technologies to improve the building environment and functionality for occupants and tenants while controlling costs to improve end- user security - comfort and accessibility and help user productivity






6. A model using mathematical symbols that can be manipulated numerically






7. A volume production process involving machines controlled by humans






8. The business of putting an invention in a market place and making it a success






9. The number of bits per second produced by a digital system






10. In chemistry - an amino acid is any molecule that contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. in biochemistry - this is shorter and more general term is frequently used to refer to alpha amino acids in which the amino and carboxylate f






11. A tool used in the manufacture of parts by moulding - forging - swaging or stamping processes






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






13. Sliced CAD data and cuts each layer from a roll of material using a laser or plotter cutter. Sliced layers are glued together to create model.






14. Computer simulation of a variety of mechanical and biological aspects of the human body

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






17. A series of flat views of an object showing it exactly as it is in shape and size






18. 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.






19. 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






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






21. The production of large amounts of standardized products on production lines - permitting very high rates of production per worker

23. A style or trend






24. The ability to link graphic screens together in such a way as to simulate motion or process






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






26. The initial impetus for the development of a new product is generated from a demand from the market






27. Morphologic synthesis is an elaboration of attribute listing. after completing the list of attributes - list them along two sides of a 2D grid. think creatively about how the attributes can be developed through new ideas in each of the cells to impro






28. A 2D physical anthropometric model based on a specific percentile - which is used with drawings of the same scale as the model to consider the relationship between the size of an object and people






29. Excessively high amount of body fat in relation to lean body mass. a body mass index of more than 30 is defined as obese by the World Health Organization






30. Basically a CNC robot with small extrusion head. Moves back and forth along a platform building up a model by feeding heated plastic wire through the head.






31. X -Y -Z plus additional rotary motion e.g. Lathe with milling head






32. A form of group think. a group with a recommended size of 10-12 people first devises wild ideas - all of which are written down. no criticism or evaluation is allowed until this is finished - as it is impossible to be creative and critical at the sam

36. Natural compounds formed through geological processes






37. To combine multiple signals for transmission over a single line or medium






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






39. A device that is used to cut 2D shapes from card and vinyl






40. The reliance on the knowledge and skills of an expert in the operation of the product
