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. Those who want the product






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






3. ANY part must function for the system to work






4. Something is physically like something else






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






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






7. Describe successful functional behavior






8. Presentation - report






9. Team is called together






10. Presentation - report






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






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






13. If this were a sci- fi scenario






14. Actual work






15. ALL parts must function for system to work






16. What if I were to do the opposite?






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






18. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






19. Those who create the desired design






20. 'If I were the object...'






21. Specific units in yeild specific units out






22. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






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






24. Who will lead






25. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






26. The task that the object has to perform






27. List functions as they come to you






28. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






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






30. Probablility that a system will not fail






31. Project finished






32. Values for attributes






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






34. Things that the design must NOT be or do






35. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






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






37. Settling into place






38. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






39. Engineering economics






40. Everyone comments on the sketches






41. A way to measure achievement of an objective






42. Those who will use the final product






43. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






44. Something related that serves a different purpose






45. What should it be?






46. Using metaphors and similies






47. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in
