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 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.






2. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






4. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






7. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






10. 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.






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






12. The formal rules that guide the design process.






13. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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.






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






26. 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.






27. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






31. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






44. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






45. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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

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






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






49. A popular movement.






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