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






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






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






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






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






6. A popular movement.






7. 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.






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






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






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






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






12. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






13. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. 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.






21. 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.






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






23. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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.






39. The formal rules that guide the design process.






40. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






43. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. The basic framework of a system
