Introduction To Mechanical Engineering Design

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 47 questions in 15 minutes. 2 minutes extra for reading the instructions.
  • 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. A box that list the various inputs and outputs to a system.






2. Project finished






3. Something related that serves a different purpose






4. What if I were to do the opposite?






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






6. Actual work






7. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






8. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






9. Describe successful functional behavior






10. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






12. ALL parts must function for system to work






13. Engineering economics






14. Those who want the product






15. 'If I were the object...'






16. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






17. Things that the design must NOT be or do






18. Everyone comments on the sketches






19. Team is called together






20. Probablility that a system will not fail






21. Something is physically like something else






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






23. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






24. Presentation - report






25. Who will lead






26. Settling into place






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






28. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






29. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






30. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






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






32. The task that the object has to perform






33. Presentation - report






34. If this were a sci- fi scenario






35. Values for attributes






36. What should it be?






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






38. List functions as they come to you






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






40. Using metaphors and similies






41. ANY part must function for the system to work






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






43. Those who create the desired design






44. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






45. Those who will use the final product






46. A way to measure achievement of an objective






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