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






2. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






4. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. 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.






16. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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


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






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






20. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






21. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. 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.






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






33. 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.






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






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






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






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






38. 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.






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






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






41. A popular movement.






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






43. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






45. 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.






46. The basic framework of a system






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






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






49. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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