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.
1. Examines environmental impacts of proposed installations and civil projects






2. A.k. s. Agricultural Engineering: mass food production - ecosystems - microbial reactors - etc.






3. 68-95-99.7: 68% of data values fall within one standard deviation of the mean; 95% fall within two standard deviations; 99.7 fall within 3.






4. Engineering notation only uses exponents that are multiples of 3.






5. Electricity generation - transmission - and distribution; integrated circuits






6. Specializes in fluid mechanics of air foils - turbines - and jet engines






7. Focus on the efficiency of the manufacturing process






8. Inability to have an exact number. Expressed as 5 -200'






9. 1.) a point falls more than 3 standard deviations away from the mean 2.) 9 points in a row occur on the same side of the mean 3.) 6 points occur with a consistently increasing or decreasing trend






10. 1.) none of the items escape my notice 2.) no items are added or removed while I'm counting 3.) nothing gets counted twice






11. Nano: ^-9; micro: ^-6; milli: ^-3; kilo: ^3; mega: ^6; giga: ^9






12. A problem with the measuring device results in a consistently inaccurate measurement every time. Called 'theoretical error' or 'model error.'






13. Devices that aid human life using artificial body parts and implantable devices






14. 1.) problem-- broad idea of what needs to change 2.) need-- also design goal 3.) design objectives -- specific things to accomplish 4.) criteria-- standards by which the objectives are measured 5.) specifications -- level on each of your criteria tha






15. City engineering including roads - traffic - sanitation - water - mass transit - heavy industry






16. 1.) axes numbers 2.) axes labels telling number and unit 3.) title or caption for the graph 4.) a legend if there's more than one data series






17. Large- scale production and manufacturing of products and chemicals






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






19. Makes sure that samples of the product are tested and that the product improves over time






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






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






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






23. Design of microprocessor architecture; writing software for robots; etc.






24. Simplifies designs for manufacturing and develops methods for mass production






25. Designing new materials with useful combinations of properties






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