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 sequence of instructions to describe a set of actions






2. 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






3. The resistance of an elastic body to deflection by an applied force.






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






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






6. 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






7. The synergistic merging of nanotechnology - biotechnology - information and communication technologies and cognitive science






8. 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






9. X -Y -Z plus additional rotary motion e.g. Lathe with milling head






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






11. The use of computers to aid manufacturing






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






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






14. 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






15. 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

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






17. Z axis for depth - X and Y for direction of cut e.g. milling - routing - engraving






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






19. This is the factor in which the machines multiplies the force put into it






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






21. 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






22. The most efficient way of designing and producing a product from the manufacturer's point of view






23. Refers specifically to the computer control of machines for the purpose of manufacturing complex parts in metals and other materials. Machines are controlled by a program commonly called a 'G code'. Each code is assigned to a particular operation or






24. Basically a CNC robot with small extrusion head. Moves back and forth along a platform building up a model by feeding heated plastic wire through the head.






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






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






27. The assessment of the effect a product has on the environment from the initial concept to disposal






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






29. An anatomical 3D model of the human body






30. To combine multiple signals for transmission over a single line or medium






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






32. The most negative voltage the operational amplifier can output






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






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






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






36. A style or trend






37. Using creative ability to produce a wide range of possible solutions to a problem






38. Obtaining users' responses.






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






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






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






42. 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






43. Natural compounds formed through geological processes






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






45. This covers all activities from design to documentation. It also includes the regulation of quality of raw materials - assemblies - products and components - services related to production - and management and inspection processes.






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






47. Involving the use of sense organs






48. The reduction of weight and ise of materials






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






50. Finding new applications for different products - thereby opening up new markets
