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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






19. 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.






20. Energy in motion.






21. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






22. Any information about the output of a system that is returned to the system for the purpose of determining whether or not the system is functioning as it should.






23. The basic framework of a system






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






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






26. 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.'






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






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

34. A popular movement.






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






36. Creating things through the process of planning.






37. The formal rules that guide the design process.






38. 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.






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






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






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






42. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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