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






2. Those who create the desired design






3. The task that the object has to perform






4. Things that the design must NOT be or do






5. ANY part must function for the system to work






6. Probablility that a system will not fail






7. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






8. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






9. Everyone comments on the sketches






10. Team is called together






11. Values for attributes






12. Engineering economics






13. Something related that serves a different purpose






14. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






15. What if I were to do the opposite?






16. List functions as they come to you






17. Those who want the product






18. Those who will use the final product






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






20. Project finished






21. Who will lead






22. Presentation - report






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






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






25. Presentation - report






26. Using metaphors and similies






27. Actual work






28. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






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






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






31. Something is physically like something else






32. What should it be?






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






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






35. Specific units in yeild specific units out






36. ALL parts must function for system to work






37. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






38. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






39. A way to measure achievement of an objective






40. If this were a sci- fi scenario






41. Settling into place






42. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






43. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






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






45. 'If I were the object...'






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






47. Describe successful functional behavior
