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.

5. Hypersensitivity to dietary substances






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






7. Water that contains animal - human or food waste and would not be reused for other purposes






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






9. The costs that must be paid out before production starts - for example machinery. these costs do not change with the level of productions






10. 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.






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






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






13. The mass production of a product via a flow line based on the interchangeability of parts - pre- processing of materials - standardization and work division






14. The biological value of a protein refers to how much of the nitrogen content of food is retained by the body. the biological value of proteins ranges from 50% to 100% and is a measure of how much dietary protein source can support growth






15. A mixture composed of two or more substances with one substance acting as the matrix or glue






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

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






20. 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.






21. X and Y axes for cutting e.g. CNC Lathe






22. 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






23. 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






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






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






26. Obtaining users' responses.






27. 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






28. 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






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






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






31. The range of users for a particular product or system.






32. The mass per unit volume of a material






33. A sugar alcohol with three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups. it is an important component of triglycerides (fats and oils) and phospholipids






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






35. The rate of flow of electrons






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






37. The formation of a gel by using gelatin or by the heat treatment of starch and water to break open starch granules - for example custard






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






39. Involved in development systems to ensure that products or services are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations.






40. The observation of people using a product and collection of comments from people who have used a product.






41. Small changes to the design of a product that seem trivial but the cumulative effect of which over a longer period can be very significant






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






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






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






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






46. A type of fastening that is not supposed to be removed. it is only possible to remove such joins by drilling - cutting or grinding the join away






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






48. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






49. 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






50. 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
