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. 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






2. Designing in relation to materials during processing






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






4. 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






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






6. Mechanical efficiency is the effectiveness of a simple machine






7. 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






8. The use of computers to aid manufacturing






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






10. 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-

11. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. The technique of heating and cooling a building naturally without the use of mechanical equipment






21. The costs that must be paid out before production starts - for example machinery. these costs do not change with the level of productions






22. 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

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






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






25. The research and analysis of the mechanics of living organisms






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






27. The exterior surface of a building's construction: the walls - windows - roof and floor. also referred to as 'building shell'






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






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






30. Designing in a way that takes account of the environmental impact of the product throughout its life






31. A computer- based machine or robot that has the ability to learn from information gained through feedback






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






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






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






35. 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






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






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






38. 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






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






40. The process of discovering a principle. a technical advance in a particular field often resulting in a novel product






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






42. The mass per unit volume of a material






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






44. 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






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