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






3. Energy in motion.






4. 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.






5. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






9. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






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






14. A popular movement.






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






16. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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

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






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






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






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






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






28. 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.






29. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






31. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






32. 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.






33. 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.






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






35. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






37. 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.'






38. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






40. 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.

43. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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