Technical Design And Engineering

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. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






2. Current flow in which electrons move in only one direction.






3. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






4. A group of parts that work together to accomplish a goal. The basic parts of a system are input - process - and output.






5. A language - used to write computer programs - that can easily be translated into machine language.






6. The passage of electric current through an electrolytic fluid for the purpose of separating molecules.






7. The use of computers in each stage of the design process.






8. Energy in motion.






9. The field of knowledge relating to materials as they exists on a molecular or atomic level.






10. A group of people working together to accomplish a common goal.






11. The imitation - as closely as possible - of the real- life circumstances in which a solution is intended to be used.






12. The number of waves that pass through a given point in one second. It is commonly measured in a unit called hertz. 1Hz is equal to one complete wave cycle in one second.






13. The height of a wave measured from the top of its peak to the bottom of its trough. It is an indicator of the strength of a wave.






14. An activity in which two or more people try to think of as many possible solutions to a problem as they can. Ideas are not evaluated or criticized at this time.






15. The effect of a system's processes and/or output on the systems environment. this effect can be either positive - negative - or in some cases both.






16. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






17. The judgement of the end result based upon given criteria.






18. In a computer - the primary circuit board to which all internal componnets are connected either directly or indirectly.






19. A circuit in which electricity flows along a single path to more than one device.






20. The knowledge - tools - machines - skills - and other things that people make and do to send and receive information.






21. The basic framework of a system






22. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






23. A unit that collects waves and decodes information contained within those waves.






24. Creating things through the process of planning.






25. The use of simple machines to multiply the output force of a mechanical system.






26. The technology field focused on sending messages and other in formation using different means.






27. The use of a computer system to produce technical drawings and/or design a product.






28. The process of creating the most effective and functional product or process while meeting all the criteria and constraints.






29. Stored energy or energy at rest.






30. The act of breaking a particular subject into different parts to achieve clarity of understanding.






31. The path by which a message travels from the sender to receiver.






32. The use of 3D CAD drawings to create real models of a product within a sort of time.






33. Studying the effects of a given technology to determine its impact.






34. The law that states that if the pressure of a gas increases - the volume decreases (provided that the temperature remains constant).


35. The act of putting different things together to form a new product or idea.






36. The process of turning abstractions of thought into concrete ideas.






37. An agreement that permits free trade among member nations. The decrease in trade barriers help manufacturers find larger markets for there product.






38. The measure of work done over a period of time as energy is converted from one form to another or transferred from one place to another.






39. The comparison of the amount of goods produced (output) to the amount of resources (input) that produced them






40. The design of equipment and environments to promote human health - safety - and well- being; sometimes referred to as ergonomics.






41. A circuit in which electricity flows along more than one path.






42. Standards that a product must meet to be accepted.






43. The use of force to act on an object in order to move move the object in the same direction as the force.






44. The formal rules that guide the design process.






45. The money a business makes after all expenses have been paid






46. The unlawful acquisition of some one's personal information for use without their consent.






47. A resource that is entered into a system.






48. A very small solid state panel that contains light sensitive photo- sites or photo- diodes. The CCD uses the photo- sites to convert light into electrical signals transformed into an image.






49. A device that orbits the Earth and receives messages from one location and transmits them to another.






50. A popular movement.
