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.

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






3. A style or trend






4. 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

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






12. The biological value of a protein refers to how much of the nitrogen content of food is retained by the body. the biological value of proteins ranges from 50% to 100% and is a measure of how much dietary protein source can support growth






13. Automated machines that require data to be inputted manually by a trained operator






14. The design contains those implicit features of a product that are recognized as essential by a majority of manufacturers and purchasers






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






16. The ability to analyse information in order to select an answer from alternatives






17. Coordination - based code that also includes feed speed and stop/start






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

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






21. 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






22. 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-

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






27. Obtaining users' responses.






28. Houses and offices designed to function like living organisms - specifically adapted to place and are able to draw all their energy and water from surrounding sun - wind and rain






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






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






31. A measure of how fast heat is conducted through a slab of material with a given temperature difference across the slab.






32. 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






33. 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.






34. A condition whereby users perceive more aesthetically pleasing designs to be easier to use than less aesthetically pleasing designs






35. A situation where a company keeps a small stock of components (or complete items) or ones that take a long time to make - just in case of a rush order
