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.

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






3. Markets divided up into smaller groups where the purchasers have similar characteristics and tastes






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






5. 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.






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

8. In chemistry - an amino acid is any molecule that contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. in biochemistry - this is shorter and more general term is frequently used to refer to alpha amino acids in which the amino and carboxylate f






9. The use of computers to aid the design process






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






11. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






12. The rate of flow of electrons






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






14. 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






15. 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






16. Fabric with technology enhanced performance used in smart clothing - for example - enhanced stain resistance - breathability or incorporating input sensors






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






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






19. Pleasures derived from satisfying peoples taste - values and aspirations






20. 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






21. An anatomical 3D model of the human body






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






23. The direct introduction to molten plastic under pressure into a die - which then cools rapidly - allowing the formed object to be released from the mould






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






25. A group of products having common classification criteria. Members normally have many common parts and assemblies.






26. A volume production process involving machines controlled by computers






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






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






29. 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)






30. The ability of a material to withstand pulling forces.






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






32. 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






33. Designing to enable the product to be manufactured using a specific manufacturing process - for example - injection moulding






34. The creation of new - modified or updated products aimed mainly at a company's existing customers.






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






36. A compound that cannot be made in the body but has to be provided ready- made in the diet - for example - vitamins - essential fatty acids - and essential amino acids






37. 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






38. A flexible computer- operated machine that is able to perform a range of tasks in an efficient and accurate manner






39. 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






40. Applies to 3D profiling. it is the amount of tool that passes over work already cut and determines the quality of the finished surface. it is expressed as a percentage - the higher the quality the higher the percentage

46. A volume production process involving machines controlled by humans






47. 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
