Introduction To Mechanical Engineering Design

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 47 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. Establish funcions - establish requirements - establish means for functions - generate design alternatives - refine and apply metrics to design alternatives - choose a design






2. A way to measure achievement of an objective






3. Take apart a similar item asking - 'How does it do that?'






4. Model and analyze the chosen design - test and evaluate the chosen design






5. ANY part must function for the system to work






6. What should it be?






7. Presentation - report






8. Generaly vague - possibly biased toward a particular solution - will need to be revised






9. A box that list the various inputs and outputs to a system.






10. Those who create the desired design






11. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






12. Who will lead






13. Something related that serves a different purpose






14. Refine and optimize chosen design - assign and fix design details






15. 'If I were the object...'






16. If this were a sci- fi scenario






17. Clarify objectives - establish metrics for objectives - identify constraints - revise clients problem statement






18. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






19. In a design with multiple systems the points where systems could interact with each other are known as boundaries.






20. Specific units in yeild specific units out






21. Describe successful functional behavior






22. Using metaphors and similies






23. Team is called together






24. Actual work






25. Engineering economics






26. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






27. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






28. Things that the design must NOT be or do






29. Something is physically like something else






30. List functions as they come to you






31. # of group members - # of ideas - (# of group members -1)






32. Those who will use the final product






33. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






34. What if I were to do the opposite?






35. Probablility that a system will not fail






36. The task that the object has to perform






37. ALL parts must function for system to work






38. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






39. Settling into place






40. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






41. Everyone comments on the sketches






42. Project finished






43. Values for attributes






44. Start with one function - expand each branch until it is no longer practical






45. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






46. Presentation - report






47. Those who want the product
