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 drawing created to communicate specific details about an object following specific design guidelines






2. Written plan that identifies a problem to be solved - its criteria - and its constraints; used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution.






3. A ridged bar that is free to pivot or rotate on a fixed point






4. A limit to the design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance - funding - space materials - and human capabilities.






5. Work performed by an engineer -involves the knowledge of mathematical and natural sciences applied with judgment and creativity to develop ways to utilize materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.






6. Are processes that change raw materials into industrial materials






7. The resistance of an object to the flow of a fluid - such as air or water






8. Protection from risk of harm or injury while operating equipment or working Safety Device- Apparatus or attachments that prevent a mechanism from being operated unintentionally or inappropriately






9. A group of interacting - interrelated - or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a goal






10. Human activities used to create - invent - design - transform - produce - control - maintain - and use products or systems






11. Increases our mechanical advantage and help us apply forces we could not provide with just our own strength.






12. The system receiving information needed to operate the vehicle






13. The force that brings moving objects to rest - friction occurs when objects come in contact with each other






14. Systematic and creative application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends






15. Is the use of knowledge - tools - and resources to help people solve problems.






16. Is the process by which part of a material is removed - usually through cutting Separating uses tools to shear or machine away unwanted material






17. Are processes that turn industrial materials into finished materials






18. Machinesmade up of various combinations of simple machines






19. Two cylindrical objects fastened together that rotate on a common axis






20. The successful transmission of information through a common system of symbols - signs - behavior - speech - writing - or signals.






21. A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.






22. Is the process by which a material is chipped away to change its shape






23. Making sure that quality remains high during manufacturing






24. An action that causes material to be removed






25. To keep from falling or moving; support Lift is an upward force used to overcome gravity






26. Coats or modifies the surface of parts or products to protect them - make them more appealing to the consumer or both






27. The system that makes changes in speed and direction of a vehicle possible






28. A vehicular system that produces proper support for the weight of the vehicle and cargo






29. Material that is not found in nature (glass - concrete - and plastics)






30. The systematic act or process of building - erecting - or constructing buildings - roads - or other structures.






31. Made of a grooved wheel with a rope or cable wrapped around it






32. A method of drawing views of an object as it is seen from different positions and arranged in a standard order






33. Tools used to aid in the process of creating an engineering drawing.






34. Process of designing on a computer.






35. The capacity for doing work






36. Brings materials and parts together to make a finished product






37. A rough drawing that represents the main features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study.






38. Uses energy to produce power for motion






39. A systematic problem solving strategy - with criteria and constraints - used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice.






40. A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.






41. The process of making a raw material into a finished product; especially in large quantities.






42. Substance (chemical - biological - or mixed) that goes into the makeup of a physical object






43. An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder






44. The system by which the views of a multiview drawing are arranged in relation to each other






45. A manufacturing system that involves producing a limited quantity of a product to a customer's specifications.






46. Force that pulls objects towards the center of the earth.






47. Device with fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy in order to do work.






48. To push or drive quickly and forcibly






49. Simple handheld artifacts that require human muscle power or air or electric power to make them work






50. Any technique that uses living organisms - or parts of organisms - to make or modify products - improve plants or animals - or to develop microorganisms for specific uses.
