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






2. Engineering economics






3. 'If I were the object...'






4. Those who will use the final product






5. Project finished






6. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






7. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






8. Using metaphors and similies






9. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






10. Something is physically like something else






11. Describe successful functional behavior






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






13. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






14. A way to measure achievement of an objective






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






16. Everyone comments on the sketches






17. List functions as they come to you






18. Values for attributes






19. Those who create the desired design






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






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






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






23. Actual work






24. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






25. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






26. Who will lead






27. ALL parts must function for system to work






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






29. What if I were to do the opposite?






30. Team is called together






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






32. Probablility that a system will not fail






33. ANY part must function for the system to work






34. Things that the design must NOT be or do






35. If this were a sci- fi scenario






36. Specific units in yeild specific units out






37. Settling into place






38. The task that the object has to perform






39. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






40. Presentation - report






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






42. What should it be?






43. Presentation - report






44. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






46. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






47. Those who want the product
