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 basic framework of a system






2. 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.






3. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






5. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






9. 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.






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






11. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






14. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






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






20. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






26. 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.






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






28. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






29. Someone who starts a business.






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






31. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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

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






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






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






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






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






38. The formal rules that guide the design process.






39. 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.






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






41. 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.






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






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






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






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






46. A popular movement.






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






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






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






50. Stored energy or energy at rest.
