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






2. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






3. Describe successful functional behavior






4. Presentation - report






5. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






7. Values for attributes






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






9. What should it be?






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






11. List functions as they come to you






12. Everyone comments on the sketches






13. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






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






15. Things that the design must NOT be or do






16. 'If I were the object...'






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






18. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






19. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






20. If this were a sci- fi scenario






21. Who will lead






22. Settling into place






23. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






25. Engineering economics






26. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






27. Team is called together






28. Those who will use the final product






29. Presentation - report






30. Those who want the product






31. ANY part must function for the system to work






32. A way to measure achievement of an objective






33. Something related that serves a different purpose






34. What if I were to do the opposite?






35. Actual work






36. ALL parts must function for system to work






37. Probablility that a system will not fail






38. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






39. Something is physically like something else






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






41. Project finished






42. Those who create the desired design






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






44. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






45. The task that the object has to perform






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






47. Using metaphors and similies
