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 judgement of the end result based upon given criteria.






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. 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.






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






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






11. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






12. A resource that is entered into a system.






13. 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.






14. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






17. 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.






18. Stored energy or energy at rest.






19. 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.






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






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






22. 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.






23. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






27. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






31. 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.'






32. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






33. 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.






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






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






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






37. Energy in motion.






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






39. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






43. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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

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






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






48. The basic framework of a system






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






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