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. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






2. Actual work






3. Values for attributes






4. Describe successful functional behavior






5. Using metaphors and similies






6. Those who will use the final product






7. Specific units in yeild specific units out






8. Engineering economics






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






10. Project finished






11. ALL parts must function for system to work






12. What if I were to do the opposite?






13. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






14. The task that the object has to perform






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






16. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






17. Everyone comments on the sketches






18. If this were a sci- fi scenario






19. Those who create the desired design






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






21. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






22. Probablility that a system will not fail






23. Things that the design must NOT be or do






24. ANY part must function for the system to work






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






26. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






27. Settling into place






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






29. What should it be?






30. Those who want the product






31. Who will lead






32. List functions as they come to you






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






34. Presentation - report






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






36. Something is physically like something else






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






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






39. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






40. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






41. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






42. Presentation - report






43. 'If I were the object...'






44. A way to measure achievement of an objective






45. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






47. Team is called together
