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 formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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.






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






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






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






14. Energy in motion.






15. 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.






16. A popular movement.






17. 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.






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






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






20. Creating things through the process of planning.






21. Stored energy or energy at rest.






22. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






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






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






33. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






35. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






37. 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.






38. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






41. 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.






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






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






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






45. 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.






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






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






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






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






50. Someone who starts a business.
