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 pressurized liquid or gasses to control and transmit power.






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






3. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






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






22. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






24. 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.






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






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






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






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






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

34. 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.






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






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






37. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






39. The basic framework of a system






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






41. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






43. 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.






44. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






45. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






48. Someone who starts a business.






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






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