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






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






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






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






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






6. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






9. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






12. A popular movement.






13. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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






16. 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.






17. Stored energy or energy at rest.






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






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






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






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






22. A language - used to write computer programs - that can easily be translated into machine language.






23. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






25. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






31. The basic framework of a system






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






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






34. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






35. 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.






36. 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.






37. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






40. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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