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






2. Water that contains animal - human or food waste and would not be reused for other purposes






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






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






5. 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






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






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






8. The research and analysis of the mechanics of living organisms






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






10. 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.






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






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






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






14. Tool path is determined by individual Z coordinates across the product






15. The ability to simulate a real situation on the screen and interact with it in a near- natural way.






16. 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






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






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






19. 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-

20. A technique that uses a fluid support structure that can be washed and drained away. Used for more intricate internal construction where it would be difficult to break away supports.






21. Long- term aims and objectives of a company and ways of achieving them by allocation of resources






22. Someone who resists all technological change.






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






24. A sugar alcohol with three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups. it is an important component of triglycerides (fats and oils) and phospholipids






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. A computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system






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






28. 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






29. A plant or animal in which the DNA has been altered through the insertion of genetic material from another source. genetic modification is the most often used in agricultural crops to increase the resistance to herbicides or to engineer pesticides in






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






31. In chemistry - an amino acid is any molecule that contains both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. in biochemistry - this is shorter and more general term is frequently used to refer to alpha amino acids in which the amino and carboxylate f






32. A volume production process involving machines controlled by humans






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






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






35. 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






36. 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






37. Hypersensitivity to dietary substances






38. A style or trend






39. Refers to materials and devices that operate at the nanoscale. 'Nano' means a billionth. A nanometer is one- billionth of a meter






40. The use of consumer reports and newspaper items to follow historical development. useful sources of information could include CD-Roms - such as encyclopedias and newspapers - or more specific discs - subject specific magazines - and manufacturers' in
