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.

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






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






25. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






30. 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.






31. 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.

38. A popular movement.






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






40. 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.'






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






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


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






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

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






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






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






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






50. A method of obtaining energy from waste products
