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






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






3. 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.






4. 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.






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






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






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






8. 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.






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






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






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






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






13. The basic framework of a system






14. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






15. Someone who starts a business.






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






17. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






30. Creating things through the process of planning.






31. The height of a wave measured from the top of its peak to the bottom of its trough. It is an indicator of the strength of a wave.






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






40. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






45. 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.






46. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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


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






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