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. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






9. 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.






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






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






12. 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.






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






18. 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.






19. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






21. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






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






26. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






28. A popular movement.






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

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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






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






41. Someone who starts a business.






42. 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.






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






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






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






46. The basic framework of a system






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






48. Energy in motion.






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






50. 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.
