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. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






2. Using metaphors and similies






3. Those who want the product






4. Who will lead






5. If this were a sci- fi scenario






6. What if I were to do the opposite?






7. Engineering economics






8. Those who will use the final product






9. 'If I were the object...'






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






11. A way to measure achievement of an objective






12. List functions as they come to you






13. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






14. Something related that serves a different purpose






15. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






16. Presentation - report






17. Probablility that a system will not fail






18. What should it be?






19. Describe successful functional behavior






20. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






21. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






22. Values for attributes






23. Presentation - report






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






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






26. Specific units in yeild specific units out






27. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






28. Settling into place






29. ANY part must function for the system to work






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






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






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






33. Team is called together






34. Actual work






35. Project finished






36. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






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






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






39. Those who create the desired design






40. ALL parts must function for system to work






41. The task that the object has to perform






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






43. Everyone comments on the sketches






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






45. Things that the design must NOT be or do






46. Something is physically like something else






47. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in
