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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






13. A resource that is entered into a system.






14. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






16. 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.






17. 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.






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






19. 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.






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






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






22. 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.






23. 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.






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






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






26. A popular movement.






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






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






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


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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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.






39. 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.'






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. The formal rules that guide the design process.






48. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






49. 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.






50. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.
