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. Settling into place






2. A way to measure achievement of an objective






3. Values for attributes






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






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






6. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






7. Those who want the product






8. 'If I were the object...'






9. ANY part must function for the system to work






10. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






11. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






12. Something related that serves a different purpose






13. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






15. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






16. Things that the design must NOT be or do






17. Presentation - report






18. Team is called together






19. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






21. Project finished






22. Actual work






23. Everyone comments on the sketches






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






25. What if I were to do the opposite?






26. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






27. List functions as they come to you






28. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






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






30. Presentation - report






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






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






33. Specific units in yeild specific units out






34. Engineering economics






35. If this were a sci- fi scenario






36. The task that the object has to perform






37. Who will lead






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






39. Those who will use the final product






40. What should it be?






41. Something is physically like something else






42. Describe successful functional behavior






43. Probablility that a system will not fail






44. Using metaphors and similies






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






46. Those who create the desired design






47. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances
