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






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. The basic framework of a system






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






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


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






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






19. 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.






20. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






21. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






31. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






33. 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.






34. A popular movement.






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






44. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






46. Energy in motion.






47. Creating things through the process of planning.






48. 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.






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






50. Restriction or limit placed on a product.
