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. Tool path cuts straight X and Y paths






2. A functional prototype - or a functional appearance model - is a prototype that 'looks like' and 'works like' a production product. although they are made from prototype materials - these models simulate actual finishes and colours as well as mechani






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






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






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






6. 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.






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






8. 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

9. The psychological condition resulting from inadequacy or imbalance in food intake or from poor absorption of food consumed






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






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






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






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






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






15. An adhesive is a substance that is applied between two surfaces in order to bond them together






16. The most negative voltage the operational amplifier can output






17. The design contains those implicit features of a product that are recognized as essential by a majority of manufacturers and purchasers






18. 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






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






20. 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






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






22. Clear representations of the final part. They provide a complete set of data for the product to be realized.






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






24. 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






25. A situation where the firm does not allocate space to the storage of components or completed items - but instead orders them (or manufactures them) when required. large storage areas are not needed and items that are not ordered are not made






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






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






28. Increasing sales to existing customers or finding new customers for an existing product






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






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






31. The way a person or group lives - including patterns of social relations - consumption - entertainment and dress






32. 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






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






34. A volume production process involving machines controlled by humans

37. The initial impetus for the development of a new product is generated from a demand from the market






38. Resources that are naturally replenished in a short time.






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






40. 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.






41. Employs inkjet technology. Linear array of nozzles deposit molten wax on a platform layer by layer to build a 3D model.
