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. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






2. Things that the design must NOT be or do






3. Those who create the desired design






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






5. ANY part must function for the system to work






6. If this were a sci- fi scenario






7. List functions as they come to you






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






9. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






10. The task that the object has to perform






11. Settling into place






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






13. Those who want the product






14. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






15. Probablility that a system will not fail






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






17. Engineering economics






18. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






19. What should it be?






20. Those who will use the final product






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






22. Values for attributes






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






24. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






25. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






26. Actual work






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






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






29. Who will lead






30. Presentation - report






31. ALL parts must function for system to work






32. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






33. A way to measure achievement of an objective






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






35. Using metaphors and similies






36. Specific units in yeild specific units out






37. Describe successful functional behavior






38. Project finished






39. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






40. What if I were to do the opposite?






41. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






43. Team is called together






44. Presentation - report






45. Something is physically like something else






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






47. Everyone comments on the sketches
