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 capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






5. 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.






6. 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.






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






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






9. Stored energy or energy at rest.






10. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






11. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






19. 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.






20. 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.






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






22. A resource that is entered into a system.






23. The basic framework of a system






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






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






26. Energy in motion.






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






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






29. The formal rules that guide the design process.






30. A popular movement.






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






39. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






42. 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.






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






44. 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.'






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






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






47. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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