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 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-

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






3. Designing in relation to materials during processing






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






5. Apply technologies to improve the building environment and functionality for occupants and tenants while controlling costs to improve end- user security - comfort and accessibility and help user productivity






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






7. A system of manufacturing that uses computers to integrate the processing of production - business and manufacturing in order to create more efficient production lines






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






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






10. An isometric drawing of an object with more than one component that depicts how the parts of assemblies fit together






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






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






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






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






15. 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






16. The manufacture of 3D parts by removing (cutting) unwanted material from a block






17. A style or trend






18. 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






19. Flexible designs that can be adapted to changing technical and market requirements.






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






21. An individual (often craft- produced) article or a prototype for a larger- scale production






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






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






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. That proportion of a population with a dimension at or less than a given value






26. The relationship between what something - for example - a product - is worth and the cash amount spent on it.






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






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






29. The opposition that a substance offers to the flow of electric current.






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






31. 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.






32. The angle of taper - expressed in degrees (usually 5






33. 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

34. The use of computers to aid the design process






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






36. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






42. A conscious act either to ensure a continuing market or to ensure that safety factors and new technologies can be incorporated into later versions of the product

45. A volume production process involving machines controlled by computers






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






47. 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






48. An emerging technology that interfaces the user via the sense of touch
