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






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






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






4. Someone who starts a business.






5. 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.






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






7. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. A popular movement.






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






18. 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.






19. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






21. The formal rules that guide the design process.






22. 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.






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






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






25. 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.






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






27. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






29. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






30. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. 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.






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






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






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






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


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






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






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






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






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






49. Creating things through the process of planning.






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