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. The task that the object has to perform






2. Presentation - report






3. A way to measure achievement of an objective






4. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






6. What if I were to do the opposite?






7. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






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






9. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






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






11. List functions as they come to you






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






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






14. If this were a sci- fi scenario






15. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






17. Who will lead






18. Things that the design must NOT be or do






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






20. Something is physically like something else






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






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






23. Team is called together






24. 'If I were the object...'






25. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






26. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






27. Settling into place






28. Project finished






29. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






30. Values for attributes






31. Actual work






32. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






33. Those who want the product






34. Those who create the desired design






35. Engineering economics






36. ANY part must function for the system to work






37. Something related that serves a different purpose






38. Those who will use the final product






39. Using metaphors and similies






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






41. Probablility that a system will not fail






42. Everyone comments on the sketches






43. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






44. Presentation - report






45. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






46. What should it be?






47. Describe successful functional behavior
