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






2. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






6. The combination of knowledge of science - mathematics - technology - and communication to solve technology problems.






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






8. A resource that is entered into a system.






9. 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.






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






11. 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.






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






13. 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.






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






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






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






17. Heat generated within the Earth as the result of the decay of radioactive materials beneath the Earth's crust.






18. Current flow in which electrons reverse direction at regular intervals.






19. The amount of resistance the power system must overcome or - alternatively - the amount of force output by the power system: also can be referred to as weight or pressure.






20. 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.






21. 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.






22. The use of pressurized liquid or gasses to control and transmit power.






23. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






25. A specialized processor that resides directly on the motherboard of a computer. It can be thought as the brain of a computer. It processes the data; also referred to as a microprocessor or a 'computer within the computer.'






26. The formal rules that guide the design process.






27. The basic framework of a system






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






29. The use of lasers to record realistic images of three- dimensional objects.






30. 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.






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






32. The path by which electric current or pulses flow.






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






34. A device that creates a mechanical advantage. Complex machines are based on 6 simple machines in various combinations.






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






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






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






38. A popular movement.






39. Energy in motion.






40. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






43. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






46. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






48. 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.






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