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. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






3. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






4. Presentation - report






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






6. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






7. ALL parts must function for system to work






8. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






9. 'If I were the object...'






10. If this were a sci- fi scenario






11. A way to measure achievement of an objective






12. Engineering economics






13. Specific units in yeild specific units out






14. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






15. Values for attributes






16. List functions as they come to you






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






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






19. Team is called together






20. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






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






22. The task that the object has to perform






23. What if I were to do the opposite?






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






25. Presentation - report






26. Describe successful functional behavior






27. Project finished






28. Who will lead






29. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






30. Everyone comments on the sketches






31. ANY part must function for the system to work






32. Using metaphors and similies






33. Something is physically like something else






34. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






35. Settling into place






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






37. Actual work






38. Probablility that a system will not fail






39. What should it be?






40. Those who want the product






41. Things that the design must NOT be or do






42. Those who create the desired design






43. Those who will use the final product






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






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






46. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






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