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






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






3. A popular movement.






4. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. 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.






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






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






21. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






25. 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.






26. 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.






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






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

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






30. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






34. 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.






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






36. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






37. 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.






38. The basic framework of a system






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






40. Stored energy or energy at rest.






41. 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.






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. The path by which electric current or pulses flow.






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






45. 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.






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






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






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






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






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