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






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






3. A realistic picture of the final model - offering some machining data - but containing no data about the interior of the part.






4. Designers design specifically for optimum use of existing manufacturing capability






5. 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






6. 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.






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






8. The transfer of an idea from one context to another






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






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






11. Tool path is circular - which is useful for round and curved objects






12. The mass per unit volume of a material






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






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






15. A 3D representation of an object drawn with the horizontal plane at 30






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






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






18. The manufacture of 3D parts by depositing molten material in a series of layers






19. The permanent deformation of a solid subjected to stress






20. Waste water generated from processes such as washing dishes - bathing and laundry






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






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






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






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






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. Obtaining users' responses.






27. Tool path cuts straight X and Y paths






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






29. An evaluation of the actual performance of the task or learning objective using the conditions under which it will be performed and the absolute standard for acceptable performances






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






31. All aspects of the processing - preparation - storage - cooking - and serving of food to make sure that it is safe to eat






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






33. 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






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






35. Someone who resists all technological change.






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

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






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






40. Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.






41. Technology appropriate to the context in which it is applied. appropriate technologies are low in capital cost - use local material wherever possible - create jobs using local skills and labour - involve decentralized renewable energy sources - make






42. Two or more atoms that are normally bonded together covalently






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






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






45. 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






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






47. 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






48. 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)






49. 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






50. The cost required to maintain or repair a product or system.
