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. Something is physically like something else






2. Everyone comments on the sketches






3. Actual work






4. Engineering economics






5. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






6. Something related that serves a different purpose






7. Those who create the desired design






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






9. Those who will use the final product






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






11. Specific units in yeild specific units out






12. A way to measure achievement of an objective






13. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






14. What should it be?






15. Presentation - report






16. Probablility that a system will not fail






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






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






19. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






20. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






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






22. Project finished






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






24. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






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






26. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






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






28. List functions as they come to you






29. ANY part must function for the system to work






30. The task that the object has to perform






31. Values for attributes






32. Those who want the product






33. Settling into place






34. 'If I were the object...'






35. Things that the design must NOT be or do






36. Presentation - report






37. ALL parts must function for system to work






38. Team is called together






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






40. If this were a sci- fi scenario






41. Who will lead






42. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






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






44. Describe successful functional behavior






45. What if I were to do the opposite?






46. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






47. Using metaphors and similies
