IB Design Technology Vocab

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






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






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






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






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






6. A technique that uses break- away supports. Break- away structure can be difficult to remove from detailed areas.






7. Someone who resists all technological change.






8. 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






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






10. 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






11. Reuse of a product in the same context or in a different context.






12. 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






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






14. 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-

15. 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)






16. 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






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






18. Attribute listing identifies the key attributes of a product or process and then enables designers to think of ways to change - modify or improve each attribute






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






20. Natural compounds formed through geological processes






21. The ability of a material to be drawn or extruded into a wire or other extended shapes






22. 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






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






24. The use of computers to aid manufacturing






25. The application of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology






26. 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






27. A small- scale production process centred on manual skill






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






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






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






31. Involved in development systems to ensure that products or services are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations.






32. Designing a product so that when it becomes obsolete it can easily and economically be taken apart - the components reused or repaired - and the materials recycled






33. A device that is able to laser cut and engrave 2D shapes






34. A brand is a product from a known source (organization). the name of the organization can also serve as a brand






35. An influential individual - usually working within an organization - who develops an enthusiasm for a particular idea or invention and 'champions' it within that organization.






36. The recording of human or animal movement by any means - for example - by video - magnetic or electro- mechanical design






37. 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






38. Where a completely new product is devised by going back to the roots of a problem and thinking about a solution in a different way.






39. A model using mathematical symbols that can be manipulated numerically






40. A mixture composed of two or more substances with one substance acting as the matrix or glue






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






42. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






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






44. 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






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






46. A broad way of categorizing the kinds of market the company is aiming for






47. 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






48. A schematic representation of a process






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






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