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






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






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






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






6. 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.






7. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






13. Someone who starts a business.






14. 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.






15. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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


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






18. 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.






19. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






44. The basic framework of a system






45. 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.






46. 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.






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






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






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