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. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






3. A popular movement.






4. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






6. The use of computers in each stage of the design process.






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. 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.






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






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






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


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






18. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. 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.






27. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






29. A group of people working together to accomplish a common goal.






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






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






32. Someone who starts a business.






33. 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.






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






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






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






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






38. Creating things through the process of planning.






39. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






40. 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.






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






42. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






45. The basic framework of a system






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






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






48. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






49. Energy in motion.






50. 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.
