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 popular movement.






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






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






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






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