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






2. Presentation - report






3. Things that the design must NOT be or do






4. Describe successful functional behavior






5. Something is physically like something else






6. ALL parts must function for system to work






7. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






8. Presentation - report






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






10. Probablility that a system will not fail






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






12. If this were a sci- fi scenario






13. Those who create the desired design






14. What if I were to do the opposite?






15. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






16. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






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






18. What should it be?






19. Project finished






20. The task that the object has to perform






21. Everyone comments on the sketches






22. Those who want the product






23. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






24. Who will lead






25. Engineering economics






26. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






28. Specific units in yeild specific units out






29. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






31. Team is called together






32. Settling into place






33. ANY part must function for the system to work






34. Those who will use the final product






35. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






36. Using metaphors and similies






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






38. A way to measure achievement of an objective






39. Values for attributes






40. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






41. Establish funcions - establish requirements - establish means for functions - generate design alternatives - refine and apply metrics to design alternatives - choose a design






42. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






44. 'If I were the object...'






45. Actual work






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






47. List functions as they come to you
