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. Engineering economics






2. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






3. Those who want the product






4. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






5. The task that the object has to perform






6. A way to measure achievement of an objective






7. Who will lead






8. Presentation - report






9. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






10. Using metaphors and similies






11. Specific units in yeild specific units out






12. Project finished






13. 'If I were the object...'






14. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






15. List functions as they come to you






16. Probablility that a system will not fail






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






18. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






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






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






21. Actual work






22. Everyone comments on the sketches






23. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






24. If this were a sci- fi scenario






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






26. ALL parts must function for system to work






27. Things that the design must NOT be or do






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






29. Settling into place






30. What if I were to do the opposite?






31. Something related that serves a different purpose






32. ANY part must function for the system to work






33. Those who will use the final product






34. Presentation - report






35. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






36. Team is called together






37. What should it be?






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






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






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






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






42. Describe successful functional behavior






43. Those who create the desired design






44. Something is physically like something else






45. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






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






47. Values for attributes
