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






2. A popular movement.






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






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






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






7. 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.






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






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






10. Energy in motion.






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






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






13. 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.






14. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






16. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






18. 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.






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






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






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






22. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






26. The formal rules that guide the design process.






27. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






28. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






34. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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


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






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






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






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






40. 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.






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






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






43. 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.






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






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






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






47. A resource that is entered into a system.






48. Someone who starts a business.






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






50. 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.
