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. Restriction or limit placed on a product.






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






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






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






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






6. The formal rules that guide the design process.






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






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






9. The basic framework of a system






10. The capacity to do work or exert effort.






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






12. 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.






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






14. 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.






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






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






17. 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.






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






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






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






21. 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.






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






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. Energy in motion.






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






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






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






28. Someone who starts a business.






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






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






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






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






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






34. 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.






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






36. A resource that is entered into a system.






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






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






39. Creating things through the process of planning.






40. A popular movement.






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






42. A method of obtaining energy from waste products






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






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






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






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






47. Current flow in which electrons reverse direction at regular intervals.






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

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






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