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. Stored energy or energy at rest.






2. 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.






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






4. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. A popular movement.






12. 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.






13. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






30. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






32. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






35. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






36. Energy in motion.






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






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






39. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






43. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






46. 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.






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






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






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






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