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 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.






2. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






7. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






11. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






13. 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.






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






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






16. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. Heat generated within the Earth as the result of the decay of radioactive materials beneath the Earth's crust.






24. The formal rules that guide the design process.






25. Stored energy or energy at rest.






26. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. 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.






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. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






44. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






45. A popular movement.






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






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






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






49. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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