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 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. Energy in motion.






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






10. 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.






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






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






13. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






17. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






21. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






22. Someone who starts a business.






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






24. 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.






25. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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

32. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






35. 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.






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






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






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






39. 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.






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






41. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






43. The long term storage mechanism of a computer. It holds the computer programs used for word processing - playing games - and other tasks.






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






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






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






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






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






50. The formal rules that guide the design process.
