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






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






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






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






5. The basic framework of a system






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






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






8. 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.






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






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






11. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






15. 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.






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


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






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






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






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






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






22. The formal rules that guide the design process.






23. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






27. 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.'






28. 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.






29. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






31. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






33. 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.






34. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






35. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. The superimposition of sine waves on electromagnetic carrier waves.
