IB Design Technology Vocab

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. Coordination - based code that also includes feed speed and stop/start






2. A solution to a problem in one field is used to provide a new idea for a design problem in another






3. Increased body weight in relation to height - when compared to some standard of acceptable or desirable weight. a body mass index of more than 25 is defined as overweight by the World Health Organization. overweight may or may not be due to increase






4. Involving the use of sense organs






5. An anatomical 3D model of the human body






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






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






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






9. The passive solar practice of placing windows - or other transparent media - and reflective surfaces so that - during the day - natural sunlight procivides effective internal illumination






10. The aspect of ergonomics that deals with body measurements - particularly those of size - strength and physical capacity






11. 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-

12. Designing a product so that when it becomes obsolete it can easily and economically be taken apart - the components reused or repaired - and the materials recycled






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






14. Limited volume production (a set number of items to be produced)






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






16. The cost required to maintain or repair a product or system.






17. 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.






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






19. Designing to enable the product to be manufactured using a specific manufacturing process - for example - injection moulding






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






21. Designers design specifically for optimum use of existing manufacturing capability






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






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






24. 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.






25. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






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






27. Houses and offices designed to function like living organisms - specifically adapted to place and are able to draw all their energy and water from surrounding sun - wind and rain






28. The use of consumer reports and newspaper items to follow historical development. useful sources of information could include CD-Roms - such as encyclopedias and newspapers - or more specific discs - subject specific magazines - and manufacturers' in






29. The permanent deformation of a solid subjected to stress






30. The ability to simulate a real situation on the screen and interact with it in a near- natural way.






31. 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.






32. Natural compounds formed through geological processes






33. 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






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






35. All aspects of the processing - preparation - storage - cooking - and serving of food to make sure that it is safe to eat






36. The resistance of an elastic body to deflection by an applied force.






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






38. Someone who needs some convincing before embracing technological change.






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

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






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






47. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






48. A realistic picture of the final model - offering some machining data - but containing no data about the interior of the part.






49. 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.






50. 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
