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. Who will lead






2. Written ideas are replaced with sketches






3. Size is proportional to how many designs there are






4. The task that the object has to perform






5. If this were a sci- fi scenario






6. ANY part must function for the system to work






7. Those who create the desired design






8. Working drawings showing major parts - without tolerances






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






10. Team is called together






11. Using metaphors and similies






12. Understanding of manufacturing processes - Design for manufacturing process






13. Absolute limits - what the design MUST do






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






15. List functions as they come to you






16. Something related that serves a different purpose






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






18. Things that the design must NOT be or do






19. Settling into place






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






21. How an attribute or behavioral will be calculated






22. Describe successful functional behavior






23. Presentation - report






24. Probablility that a system will not fail






25. Project finished






26. 'If I were the object...'






27. What should it be?






28. A way to measure achievement of an objective






29. Presentation - report






30. ALL parts must function for system to work






31. Drawings of individual parts with every detail filled in






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






33. Those who want the product






34. Everyone comments on the sketches






35. Specific units in yeild specific units out






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






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






38. Engineering economics






39. Drawings showing how individual parts should fit together






40. Values for attributes






41. Those who will use the final product






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






43. Actual work






44. What if I were to do the opposite?






45. Something is physically like something else






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






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