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






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






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






4. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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

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






20. 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.






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






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






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

40. Creating things through the process of planning.






41. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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