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






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






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






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






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






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






7. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






8. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






12. Someone who starts a business.






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






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


15. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






18. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






21. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






25. 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.






26. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






30. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






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






35. 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.






36. 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.






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






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






39. 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.






40. 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.






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






42. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






45. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






46. 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.






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






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






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






50. A popular movement.
