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 computers in each stage of the design process.






2. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






3. 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.






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






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






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






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






8. 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.






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






10. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






11. 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.






12. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. 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.






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






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






22. A resource that is entered into a system.






23. A popular movement.






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






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






26. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






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






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






33. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






35. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






47. The basic framework of a system






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






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






50. 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.
