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






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






5. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






9. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. 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.






18. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






19. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






31. The basic framework of a system






32. 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.






33. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






36. The formal rules that guide the design process.






37. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






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






42. Energy in motion.






43. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






46. A popular movement.






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






48. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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