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. 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-

2. Excess material on a moulded part - forming a thin fan where two parts of the mould meet






3. A sophisticated CIM system that manufactured products to individual customer orders. the benefits of economy of scale are gained whether the order is for a single item or thousands






4. The process of recovering the information contained - for example - in the human voice - which had been previously added to a suitable electromagnetic carrier






5. The completeness and accuracy of a data set that is being used to inform a design decision






6. 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






7. 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






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






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






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






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






12. 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






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






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






15. This is the factor in which the machines multiplies the force put into it






16. 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)






17. The most negative voltage the operational amplifier can output






18. A specific manufacturing term - sometimes relating to one material group only






19. 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






20. A sugar (a carbohydrate) composed of two monosaccharide molecules






21. 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






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






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






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






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






26. 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






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






28. A form of group think. a group with a recommended size of 10-12 people first devises wild ideas - all of which are written down. no criticism or evaluation is allowed until this is finished - as it is impossible to be creative and critical at the sam






29. 3 linear axes (X -Y -Z) and two rotary axes (A -B) e.g. milling machine






30. A computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system






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






32. 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






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






34. A schematic representation of a process






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






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






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






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






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