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. Values for attributes






2. The task that the object has to perform






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






4. Those who will use the final product






5. Specific units in yeild specific units out






6. Presentation - report






7. ALL parts must function for system to work






8. Engineering economics






9. Something is physically like something else






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






11. Who will lead






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






13. What if I were to do the opposite?






14. Using metaphors and similies






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






16. Probablility that a system will not fail






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






18. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






19. List functions as they come to you






20. If this were a sci- fi scenario






21. Settling into place






22. A way to measure achievement of an objective






23. Actual work






24. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






25. What should it be?






26. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






27. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






28. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






30. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






31. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






32. 'If I were the object...'






33. Describe successful functional behavior






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






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






36. Those who create the desired design






37. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






38. ANY part must function for the system to work






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






40. Things that the design must NOT be or do






41. Those who want the product






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






43. Team is called together






44. Presentation - report






45. Project finished






46. Something related that serves a different purpose






47. Everyone comments on the sketches
