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. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






2. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






3. Settling into place






4. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






5. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






6. ANY part must function for the system to work






7. Values for attributes






8. Those who want the product






9. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






10. Everyone comments on the sketches






11. Those who will use the final product






12. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






13. If this were a sci- fi scenario






14. Using metaphors and similies






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






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






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






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






19. Something related that serves a different purpose






20. Who will lead






21. Those who create the desired design






22. What if I were to do the opposite?






23. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






24. List functions as they come to you






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






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






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






28. Describe successful functional behavior






29. Something is physically like something else






30. 'If I were the object...'






31. Presentation - report






32. Team is called together






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






34. Specific units in yeild specific units out






35. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






37. The task that the object has to perform






38. Project finished






39. Engineering economics






40. Probablility that a system will not fail






41. What should it be?






42. Presentation - report






43. A way to measure achievement of an objective






44. Things that the design must NOT be or do






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






46. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






47. Actual work
