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. Technology dealing with the design - construction - and operation of robots and automation






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






3. Movement in a straight line






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






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






6. Using descriptive text to explain portions of code. Comments do not change the way a robot behaves - but are important for the programmer to remember what the code does.






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






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






9. The space within which a robotic arm can move






10. A turn where one wheel rotates forward and the other rotates backward - causing the robot to sit and spin in place






11. A sensor used to measure the angular position of the axle or shaft passing through its center






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






13. An arm- like mechanism on a robotic system which grabs and moves objects with a number of degrees of freedom under automatic control.






14. The information produced by a computer






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






16. 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






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






18. Toothlike projections arranged on a wheel rim to engage the links of a chain






19. The ability to bring a desired result with the least waste of time - energy - or material






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






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






22. The effect or influence of one thing on another. Some impacts are anticipated - and others are unanticipated.






23. Programs and other operating information used by a computer






24. A back and forth movement






25. Shorthand notation for programming which uses a combination of informal programming structures and verbal descriptions of a code.






26. The ability to do work






27. Something put into a system - such as resources - in order to achieve a result






28. The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other






29. The upkeep of industrial facilities and equipment and/or software






30. The process of detecting and eliminating a device's malfunctions






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






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






33. A push or pull on an object






34. To function imperfectly or badly






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






36. A step- by- step procedure for solving a problem - especially by a computer






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






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






39. A device that detects some important physical quality or quantity about the surrounding environment - and conveys the information to the robot in electronic form






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






41. Operated by the action of water or other fluids






42. Circular movement






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






44. A new product - system - or process that has never existed before - created by study and experimentation






45. The process of locating trouble and making repairs in machinery and technical equipment






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






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






48. A technique that is used to make a process automatic






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






50. One of a pair of gears used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect
