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. 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






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






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






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






5. Food becoming unfit for consumption - for example - due to chemical or biological contamination






6. Lack of essential vitamins and minerals resulting from unbalanced food intake and specific problems of food absorption






7. The mass per unit volume of a material






8. 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






9. A test of the performance of some new product under the conditions in which it will be used






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






11. 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






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






13. Involving the use of sense organs






14. 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






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






16. Refers specifically to the computer control of machines for the purpose of manufacturing complex parts in metals and other materials. Machines are controlled by a program commonly called a 'G code'. Each code is assigned to a particular operation or






17. The calculation and simulation of unknown factors in products using CAD systems. for example simulating the stresses within a welded car part






18. Using creative ability to produce a wide range of possible solutions to a problem






19. The exposure of protein to heat or acid - which results in irreversible changes that reduce solubility and change optical characteristics






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






21. Obtaining users' responses.






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






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






24. A 3D drawing that realistically represents an object by utilizing foreshortening and vanishing points (usually imaginary ones)






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






26. A brand is a product from a known source (organization). the name of the organization can also serve as a brand






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






28. 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






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






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






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






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






33. 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






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






35. 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






36. 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.






37. The class of materials that are continuous filaments or are in discreet elongated pieces - similar to lengths of thread with a length to thickness ratio of at least 80






38. Hypersensitivity to dietary substances






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






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






41. 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






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






43. 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

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






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






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






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






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






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






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