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 formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






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






5. 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.






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






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






8. 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.






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






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






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


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






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






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






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






16. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






20. An agreement that permits free trade among member nations. The decrease in trade barriers help manufacturers find larger markets for there product.






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






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






23. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






25. The basic framework of a system






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






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






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






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






30. A popular movement.






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






32. Someone who starts a business.






33. 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.






34. 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.






35. Stored energy or energy at rest.






36. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






37. 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.






38. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






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






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






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






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






45. 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.






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






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






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






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