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






2. ANY part must function for the system to work






3. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






4. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






5. Those who want the product






6. Team is called together






7. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






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






9. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






11. Settling into place






12. Actual work






13. What if I were to do the opposite?






14. Specific units in yeild specific units out






15. Probablility that a system will not fail






16. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






17. Something is physically like something else






18. Who will lead






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






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






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






22. List functions as they come to you






23. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






24. Presentation - report






25. Those who create the desired design






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






27. If this were a sci- fi scenario






28. Project finished






29. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






30. Those who will use the final product






31. ALL parts must function for system to work






32. Engineering economics






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






34. Values for attributes






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






36. The task that the object has to perform






37. Describe successful functional behavior






38. Presentation - report






39. A way to measure achievement of an objective






40. Using metaphors and similies






41. 'If I were the object...'






42. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






44. What should it be?






45. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






46. Everyone comments on the sketches






47. Things that the design must NOT be or do
