Intro To Engineering Design

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 39 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. 1. The documents that are required for something or that give evidence or proof of something. 2. Drawings or printed info that contains instructions for assembling - installing - operating - and servicing






2. The measurement or extent of something from side to side






3. Thin lines that serve as guides while sketching or drawing






4. The representation of light and shade on a drawing or map






5. Views of an object projected onto two or more orthographic planes






6. A method of representing three dimensional objects on a pane having only length and breadth. Also referred to as Right Angle Projection






7. The general effect of color or of light and shade in a picture






8. 1. Along thin mark on a surface 2. A continuous extent of length - straight - or curved - without breadth or thickness; the trace of a moving point 3. Long - narrow mark or bend






9. Also called line width. The thickness of a line - characterized as thick or thin






10. An imaginary surface on which the view of the object is projected and drawn. The surface is imagined to exist between the object and the observer






11. To form a mental image of; imagine






12. A line type that represents an edge that is not directly visible because it is behind or beneath another surface






13. A flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points would wholly line






14. 1. A straight- edged of rigid material marked at regular intervals and used to measure distances. 2. A proportion between two sets of dimensions used in developing accurate larger or smaller prototypes or models of design ideas.






15. A three- dimensional body or geometric figure






16. A regular oval shape - traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points is constant - or resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane which does not intersect at the base






17. A network of lines that cross each other to form a series of squares or rectangles






18. A heavy solid lie used on a drawing to represent the outline of an object






19. The distance from front to back






20. To make something - especially on a large scale using machinery






21. How large or small a person or thing is






22. The two- dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area - in contrast to three- dimensional form






23. Standardization of lines used on technical drawings by line - weight and style






24. A drawing that is used to show the material - size - and shape of a product for manufacturing process






25. A form of pictorial sketch in which vanishing points are used to provide the depth and distortion that is seen with the human eye. Perspective drawings can be drawn using 1 - 2 - and 3 vanishing points






26. A type of sketch involving a combination of a flat orthographic front with depth lines receding at a selected angle - usually 90 degrees






27. 1. The outside limit of an object - a surface - or an area. 2. The line along which two surfaces of a solid meet






28. Done manually without the aid of instruments such as rulers






29. The process of using dimensions - quantity - or capacity by comparison with a standard in order to mark off - apportion - layout - or establish dimensions






30. Views is shorthand for multi- view projection - which is a system used to view an object. The six mutually perpendicular directions any object may be viewed are top - front - right- side - rear - left- side - and bottom. Top - front - and right- side






31. 1. The relationship of one thing to another in size - amount 2. Size or weight relationships among element in a single structure.






32. A horizontal or vertical line that can be used to locate entities in an adjacent view






33. A form of pictorial sketch in which all three drawing axes from equal angle of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.






34. A vanishing point is a point in space - usually located on the horizon - where parallel edges of an object appear to converge






35. A sketch that shows an objects weight - width - or depth in a single view






36. The measurement of someone or something from head to foot or from base to top






37. An outline of something as seen frame one side






38. A very small dot or mark on a surface that has position - but not spatial extent - magnitude - dimension - or direction






39. A rough drawing representing the main features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study
