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. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






5. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






6. A popular movement.






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






8. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






13. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






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






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






18. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






25. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






27. Stored energy or energy at rest.






28. 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.






29. 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.






30. 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.






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






32. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






40. 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.






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






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






43. 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.






44. 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.'






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






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






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






48. Energy in motion.






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