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.

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






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






4. 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.






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

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






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






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






14. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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

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






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






19. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






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






24. 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.






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






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






27. 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.






28. 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.






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






30. 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.






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






32. 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.






33. A popular movement.






34. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






37. 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.






38. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






42. The formal rules that guide the design process.






43. 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.'






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. Someone who starts a business.
