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. The transfer of an idea from one context to another






2. 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






3. Involves a company both in the development of new products and in selling those products to new companies






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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






11. A designer creates a part geometry independent of the assembly or any other component. although there are often some design criteria established before modelling the part - this information is not shared between models. once all part models are compl

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






13. Tool path is circular - which is useful for round and curved objects






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






15. Automated machines that require data to be inputted manually by a trained operator






16. 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






17. Involving the use of sense organs






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






19. Rebuilding a product so that it is in an 'as new' condition - and is generally used in the context of car engines and tyres.






20. An individual (often craft- produced) article or a prototype for a larger- scale production






21. An appearance prototype or appearance model is a physical representation of an object that literally appears like the production product. However - it does not function and is made from wood - foam - clay or other prototyping materials






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






24. Tool path is determined by individual Z coordinates across the product






25. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






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






27. The use of computers to aid manufacturing






28. Someone who resists all technological change.






29. Obtaining users' responses.






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






31. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






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






33. The spontaneous representation of ideas on paper without the use of technical aids






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






35. 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.






36. The most efficient way of designing and producing a product from the manufacturer's point of view






37. Analysing a situation that would benefit from redesign - and working out a strategy for improving it






38. The angle of taper - expressed in degrees (usually 5






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






40. A condition whereby users perceive more aesthetically pleasing designs to be easier to use than less aesthetically pleasing designs






41. A device that is able to laser cut and engrave 2D shapes






42. 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






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






44. 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)






45. Hypersensitivity to dietary substances






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






47. A volume production process involving machines controlled by humans






48. The use of computers to aid the design process






49. 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






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