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






2. 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.'






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






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






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






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






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






8. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






9. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






13. 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.






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






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






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






17. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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

33. 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.






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






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






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






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






38. The formal rules that guide the design process.






39. 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.






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






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






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






43. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






45. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






49. A popular movement.






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