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. Presentation - report






2. Presentation - report






3. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






4. Those who create the desired design






5. Values for attributes






6. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






7. Team is called together






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






9. What if I were to do the opposite?






10. A way to measure achievement of an objective






11. Things that the design must NOT be or do






12. Something is physically like something else






13. What should it be?






14. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






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






17. Probablility that a system will not fail






18. Project finished






19. Those who want the product






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






21. 'If I were the object...'






22. Engineering economics






23. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






24. ALL parts must function for system to work






25. ANY part must function for the system to work






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






27. Actual work






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






29. Who will lead






30. The task that the object has to perform






31. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






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






34. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






35. List functions as they come to you






36. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






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






39. Using metaphors and similies






40. Everyone comments on the sketches






41. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






42. Those who will use the final product






43. Settling into place






44. If this were a sci- fi scenario






45. Describe successful functional behavior






46. Specific units in yeild specific units out






47. Size is proportional to how many designs there are
