Introduction To Engineering - 4

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 26 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.

21. Mechanisms for holding - transmitting power - tools - transportation - etc.






22. Comes up with concepts and analysis before anything has been made






23. Focus on the efficiency of the manufacturing process






24. Works with customers to incorporate the final product into their specific situation






25. 1.) Define the problem 2.) Brainstorm solutions 3.) Evaluate and narrow ideas to a few 4.) Develop a proof of concept experiment 5.) Optimize






26. Develops experiments to test prototypes before a product is mass - produced
