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 formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






5. 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.






6. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






7. 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.






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


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






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






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






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






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






14. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. 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.






23. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






27. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






33. The basic framework of a system






34. 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.






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






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






37. 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.






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






39. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






42. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






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






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






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






48. Energy in motion.






49. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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