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






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


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






4. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






12. Energy in motion.






13. Trade of products and services on a global scale.






14. The long term storage mechanism of a computer. It holds the computer programs used for word processing - playing games - and other tasks.






15. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






18. Any information about the output of a system that is returned to the system for the purpose of determining whether or not the system is functioning as it should.






19. A series of operations that includes all of the activities that must be performed in order for the system to yield the expected result.






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






21. A device capable of detecting (sensing) changes in its environment; light and movement are examples.






22. A production system in which a limited quantity of a part or product is made. After the production run - the machines are retooled or changed over to accommodate the production of a different part or product.






23. A resource that is entered into a system.






24. 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.






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






26. 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.






27. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






29. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






30. The basic framework of a system






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






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






33. A popular movement.






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






35. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






40. A production system in which products are made one at a time according to customer's specifications.






41. A production process in which the part or product moves down a line from one station to the next while parts are added.






42. 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.






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






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






45. A wave created by electric and magnetic fields;it travels through the air like ripples in a pool of water.






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






47. The formal rules that guide the design process.






48. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






50. Processes and knowledge that can be used to extend human abilities as well as satisfy human needs and wants.
