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 popular movement.






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






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






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






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






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






7. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






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






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






13. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






15. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






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






21. 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.






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






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






24. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






26. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






28. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






30. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






31. 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.






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






33. 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.






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


35. 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.






36. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






42. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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