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






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






3. 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.






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






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






6. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






10. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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

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






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






16. 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.






17. 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.






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






19. 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.






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






21. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






34. 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.






35. Energy in motion.






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






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






38. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






40. 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.'






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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