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. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






5. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. Energy in motion.






17. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






19. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






21. The basic framework of a system






22. 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.






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






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






25. 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.






26. 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.






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






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






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






30. 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.






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






32. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






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






36. The comparison of the amount of goods produced (output) to the amount of resources (input) that produced them






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






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






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






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






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






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






43. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






46. 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.






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






48. 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.






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






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