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. Project finished






2. Presentation - report






3. What should it be?






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






5. 'If I were the object...'






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






7. List functions as they come to you






8. Describe successful functional behavior






9. A way to measure achievement of an objective






10. Team is called together






11. Actual work






12. Who will lead






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






14. Something is physically like something else






15. Probablility that a system will not fail






16. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






17. Those who will use the final product






18. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






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






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






21. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






22. Something related that serves a different purpose






23. If this were a sci- fi scenario






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






25. Those who create the desired design






26. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






28. Using metaphors and similies






29. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






30. What if I were to do the opposite?






31. Values for attributes






32. Everyone comments on the sketches






33. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






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






35. Engineering economics






36. Those who want the product






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






38. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






39. The task that the object has to perform






40. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






41. Settling into place






42. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






43. Things that the design must NOT be or do






44. ANY part must function for the system to work






45. Specific units in yeild specific units out






46. Presentation - report






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