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






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






3. Someone who starts a business.






4. A popular movement.






5. 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.'






6. 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.






7. Energy in motion.






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






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






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 capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






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. 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.






15. Creating things through the process of planning.






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






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






18. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






25. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






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






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






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






34. The basic framework of a system






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






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






37. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






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






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






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






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

44. 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.






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






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






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






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






49. The act of putting different things together to form a new product or idea.






50. Restriction or limit placed on a product.
