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 superimposition of sine waves on electromagnetic carrier waves.






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






3. 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.






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






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






6. A popular movement.






7. 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.






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






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






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






11. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






13. Stored energy or energy at rest.






14. 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.






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






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






17. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






18. 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.






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






20. 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.






21. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






27. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






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






33. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






35. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






41. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






42. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






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






48. Energy in motion.






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






50. A method of obtaining energy from waste products
