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. Probablility that a system will not fail






2. A way to measure achievement of an objective






3. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






4. Something is physically like something else






5. What should it be?






6. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






7. Actual work






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






9. Specific units in yeild specific units out






10. Values for attributes






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






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






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






14. Presentation - report






15. Those who want the product






16. Who will lead






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






18. The task that the object has to perform






19. If this were a sci- fi scenario






20. Settling into place






21. ANY part must function for the system to work






22. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






24. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






25. Everyone comments on the sketches






26. Project finished






27. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






29. List functions as they come to you






30. Presentation - report






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






32. What if I were to do the opposite?






33. 'If I were the object...'






34. Describe successful functional behavior






35. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






36. Those who will use the final product






37. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






38. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






39. Engineering economics






40. Things that the design must NOT be or do






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






42. Those who create the desired design






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






44. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






45. Something related that serves a different purpose






46. Team is called together






47. Using metaphors and similies
