Test your basic knowledge |

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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 quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other






2. The use of technology to ease human labor or to extend the mental or physical capabilities of humans






3. Anything your robot does; turning no a motor is a behavior - following a line is a behavior - navigating a maze is a behavior






4. A connected flexible series of links used for fastening or securing objects and pulling or supporting loads






5. A pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disk that changes rotary motion into reciprocating motion.






6. In robotics - a series of coded instructions the robot must follow






7. A swing back and forth at a regular rate






8. A balancing of factors - all of which are not attainable at the same time; giving up one thing in return for another






9. The ability to do work






10. The rewriting or revising of a sequence of instructions - especially a computer program






11. Operated by the action of water or other fluids






12. A person who writes and tests computer programs






13. The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear






14. The results of the operation of any system






15. Circular movement






16. Set of instructions that control the operation of a computer






17. A robot is a machine that performs complicated tasks and is guided by automatic controls






18. The space within which a robotic arm can move






19. The application of force that moves an object a certain distance






20. A system that uses feedback from the output to control the input






21. Containing - producing - arising from - or actuated by electricity






22. Try our a new procedure - idea - or activity






23. The transmission of power between shafts by means of a belt connecting pulleys on the shafts






24. A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts






25. In robotics - provides power to the robot; may supply electricity - hydraulic - power - or pneumatic power






26. A control system that has no means for comparing the output with input for control purposes. An open - loop system often requires human intervention






27. Opposite in position - direction - order - or effect






28. A turn where one wheel rotates and the other stays in place - causing the robot's body to 'swing around the stationary wheel






29. Movement in a straight line






30. The efficient production of small amounts of products






31. Programs and other operating information used by a computer






32. A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly






33. A signal having the characteristic of being continuous and changing smoothly over a given range - rather than switching suddenly between certain levels.






34. Information about the output of a system that can be used to make adjustments






35. A mechanical arrangement consisting of a toothed wheel driven by a short revolving cylinder bearing a screw thread






36. Conforming to a established set principles or accepted professional standards or conduct






37. A level or point at which something would start or cease to happen or come into effect






38. A touch sensor used to limit the motion of a moving device. Limit switches may be used to provide a precise beginning and end point to mechanical motion






39. A back and forth movement






40. A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction






41. A group of interacting - interrelated - or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a common goal






42. To function imperfectly or badly






43. Locating and finding the cause of problems related to technological products or systems






44. A system of discrete states: high or low - on or off - 1 or 0






45. A push or pull on an object






46. An improvement of an existing technological product - system - or method of doing something






47. Using computers to operate and control machines and processes to manufacture a product






48. A company- wide management philosophy for planning - integration - and implementation of automation






49. A rotating gear that meshes wit ha bar that has a gear tooth along its length. Changes rotating motion in a linear motion.






50. A community - nation - or broad grouping of people having common traditions - institutions - and collective activities and interests
