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

8. A comparative measure of poverty - literacy - education - life expectancy - childbirth and other factors for countries worldwide






9. Designing in relation to materials during processing






10. A plant or animal in which the DNA has been altered through the insertion of genetic material from another source. genetic modification is the most often used in agricultural crops to increase the resistance to herbicides or to engineer pesticides in






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






12. The recording of human or animal movement by any means - for example - by video - magnetic or electro- mechanical design






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






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

17. A mixture that contains at least one metal. this can be a mixture of metals or a mixture of metals and non - metals






18. 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






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






20. A 3D representation of an object drawn with the horizontal plane at 30






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






22. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






23. A natural resource that cannot be re- made or re- grown as it does not naturally reform at a rate that makes its use sustainable - for example - coal - petroleum and natural gas






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






25. The direct introduction to molten plastic under pressure into a die - which then cools rapidly - allowing the formed object to be released from the mould






26. Pleasure derived from people's mental and emotional reactions to a product.






27. The way a person or group lives - including patterns of social relations - consumption - entertainment and dress






28. Someone who resists all technological change.






29. 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.






30. Markets divided up into smaller groups where the purchasers have similar characteristics and tastes






31. Someone who immediately welcomes a technological change.






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






33. Using the materials from obsolete products to create other products.






34. 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.






35. Waste water generated from processes such as washing dishes - bathing and laundry






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






37. The width of the electromagnetic spectrum that a signal occupies






38. The synergistic merging of nanotechnology - biotechnology - information and communication technologies and cognitive science






39. A conscious act either to ensure a continuing market or to ensure that safety factors and new technologies can be incorporated into later versions of the product






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






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






42. 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)






43. Costs that vary with output - for example - fuel or raw materials.






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






46. The relationship between what something - for example - a product - is worth and the cash amount spent on it.






47. The feed speed is the rate at which the cutting tools moves in x - y and z paths






48. Low levels of food intake - which can be transitory (as a result of crisis) - seasonal or chronic (when it occurs on a continuing basis)






49. Reuse of a product in the same context or in a different context.
