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. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






3. 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.






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






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






6. 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.






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






8. Someone who starts a business.






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






10. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






14. 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.






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






16. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






19. The basic framework of a system






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






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






22. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






23. 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.






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






25. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






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






32. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






35. 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.'






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






37. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






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






42. 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.






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






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






46. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






48. A popular movement.






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






50. The capacity to do work or exert effort.
