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. A popular movement.






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






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






4. 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.






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






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






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






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






9. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






11. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






21. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






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






26. 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.






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






28. Energy in motion.






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






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






31. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






32. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






36. 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.






37. 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.






38. The basic framework of a system






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






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

41. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






46. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






47. 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.






48. 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.'






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






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