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. Actual work






2. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






3. Probablility that a system will not fail






4. Engineering economics






5. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






7. Presentation - report






8. Presentation - report






9. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






11. What if I were to do the opposite?






12. The task that the object has to perform






13. Those who will use the final product






14. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






15. If this were a sci- fi scenario






16. What should it be?






17. Those who want the product






18. Values for attributes






19. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






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






21. ANY part must function for the system to work






22. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






24. Team is called together






25. Those who create the desired design






26. Describe successful functional behavior






27. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






29. Using metaphors and similies






30. A way to measure achievement of an objective






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






32. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






33. Settling into place






34. Things that the design must NOT be or do






35. Who will lead






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






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






38. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






39. List functions as they come to you






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






41. Project finished






42. 'If I were the object...'






43. Something is physically like something else






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






45. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






46. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






47. Everyone comments on the sketches
