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. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






2. Things that the design must NOT be or do






3. Actual work






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






5. Those who want the product






6. Something is physically like something else






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






8. Using metaphors and similies






9. What should it be?






10. Presentation - report






11. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






12. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






13. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






14. Engineering economics






15. What if I were to do the opposite?






16. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






17. Values for attributes






18. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






19. Those who will use the final product






20. ANY part must function for the system to work






21. 'If I were the object...'






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






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






24. Project finished






25. Presentation - report






26. If this were a sci- fi scenario






27. A way to measure achievement of an objective






28. Everyone comments on the sketches






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






30. Those who create the desired design






31. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






32. The task that the object has to perform






33. List functions as they come to you






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






35. Probablility that a system will not fail






36. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






38. Describe successful functional behavior






39. Team is called together






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






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






42. Who will lead






43. ALL parts must function for system to work






44. Something related that serves a different purpose






45. Settling into place






46. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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