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. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






2. The formal rules that guide the design process.






3. 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.






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






5. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






6. 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.






7. Energy in motion.






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






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






10. 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.






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






12. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






13. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






21. A popular movement.






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






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






24. 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.






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






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






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






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






29. A resource that is entered into a system.






30. The basic framework of a system






31. 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.






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






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






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


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






36. Someone who starts a business.






37. 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.






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






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






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






41. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






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






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






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






48. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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