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. The task that the object has to perform






3. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






4. Those who want the product






5. Values for attributes






6. Something is physically like something else






7. A way to measure achievement of an objective






8. ANY part must function for the system to work






9. What if I were to do the opposite?






10. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






11. Settling into place






12. Using metaphors and similies






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






14. Those who will use the final product






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






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






17. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






18. Probablility that a system will not fail






19. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






20. Specific units in yeild specific units out






21. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






22. Actual work






23. What should it be?






24. Things that the design must NOT be or do






25. Engineering economics






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






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






28. Those who create the desired design






29. List functions as they come to you






30. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






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






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






34. Describe successful functional behavior






35. ALL parts must function for system to work






36. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






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






38. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






39. Presentation - report






40. If this were a sci- fi scenario






41. Project finished






42. Team is called together






43. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






45. Everyone comments on the sketches






46. 'If I were the object...'






47. Who will lead
