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






2. 3 linear axes (X -Y -Z) and two rotary axes (A -B) e.g. milling machine






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






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






5. An anatomical 3D model of the human body






6. 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)






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






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






9. 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.






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






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






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






13. An emerging technology that interfaces the user via the sense of touch






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






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






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






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






18. 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






19. The permanent deformation of a solid subjected to stress






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






21. 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.






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






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






24. 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.






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






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






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






28. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






29. Designing taking account of assembly at various levels - for example - component to component - components into sub- assemblies and sub- assemblies into complete products






30. Obtaining users' responses.






31. 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






32. Flexible designs that can be adapted to changing technical and market requirements.






33. A filamentous material long in relation to its width/breadth






34. Morphologic synthesis is an elaboration of attribute listing. after completing the list of attributes - list them along two sides of a 2D grid. think creatively about how the attributes can be developed through new ideas in each of the cells to impro






35. Involving the use of sense organs






36. The ability of a material to resist the propagation of cracks.






37. An organic compound that contains aliphatic hydrocarbons - essential for the structure and function of living cells. examples include fats - waxes and steroids






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






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






40. 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






41. That proportion of a population with a dimension at or less than a given value






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






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






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






45. A mixture that contains at least one metal. this can be a mixture of metals or a mixture of metals and non - metals






46. A sequence of instructions to describe a set of actions






47. The wide acceptance (and sale) of a product






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






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






50. A volume production process involving machines controlled by computers
