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






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






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






4. 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.






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






6. 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.






7. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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

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






12. 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.






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






14. 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.






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






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






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






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






19. A resource that is entered into a system.






20. Energy in motion.






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






22. 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.'






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






24. 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.






25. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






26. Someone who starts a business.






27. 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.






28. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






48. 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.






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






50. A method of obtaining energy from waste products
