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 path by which electric current or pulses flow.






2. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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

4. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






13. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






16. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






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






32. Stored energy or energy at rest.






33. A popular movement.






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






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






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






37. Heat generated within the Earth as the result of the decay of radioactive materials beneath the Earth's crust.






38. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






40. 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.






41. 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.






42. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






44. 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.






45. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






48. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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