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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. 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.






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 formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






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






18. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. A popular movement.






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






27. 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.






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






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






30. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






31. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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. 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.






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






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






50. 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.
