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. Probablility that a system will not fail






2. Who will lead






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






4. List functions as they come to you






5. ALL parts must function for system to work






6. Actual work






7. The task that the object has to perform






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






9. Presentation - report






10. Those who want the product






11. Those who will use the final product






12. 'If I were the object...'






13. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






14. Everyone comments on the sketches






15. If this were a sci- fi scenario






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






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






18. A way to measure achievement of an objective






19. Using metaphors and similies






20. Things that the design must NOT be or do






21. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






23. Team is called together






24. Something related that serves a different purpose






25. Values for attributes






26. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






27. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






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






29. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






30. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






31. Settling into place






32. ANY part must function for the system to work






33. What if I were to do the opposite?






34. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






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






36. Those who create the desired design






37. What should it be?






38. Describe successful functional behavior






39. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






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






41. Presentation - report






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






43. Project finished






44. Something is physically like something else






45. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






47. Engineering economics
