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






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






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






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






5. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






10. Energy in motion.






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






12. 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.






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






14. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






15. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






21. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






24. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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

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






38. Someone who starts a business.






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






40. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






42. A device capable of detecting (sensing) changes in its environment; light and movement are examples.






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






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






45. 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.






46. 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.






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






48. 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.






49. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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