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






2. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






4. 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.






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






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






7. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






8. A specialized processor that resides directly on the motherboard of a computer. It can be thought as the brain of a computer. It processes the data; also referred to as a microprocessor or a 'computer within the computer.'






9. The path by which electric current or pulses flow.






10. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






13. 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.






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






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






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






17. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






19. 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.






20. 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.






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






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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

38. Stored energy or energy at rest.






39. Energy in motion.






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






41. 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.






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. An agreement that permits free trade among member nations. The decrease in trade barriers help manufacturers find larger markets for there product.






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






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






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






48. A popular movement.






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






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