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 group of people working together to accomplish a common goal.






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






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






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






5. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. 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.






14. A popular movement.






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






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






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






18. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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.






25. 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.'






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






27. 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.






28. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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






38. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






41. 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.






42. 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.






43. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






49. The basic framework of a system






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