Do you know your Engineering Design Process?
sCORE
HodgePodge
100
This is a circle with a rod through its center that lifts and moves.
What is a WHEEL AND AXLE?
100
This can be seen as a device that translates from circular to reciprocating (sometimes called oscillating) motion. "This" is commonly found in automobiles.
What are CAMS?
100
Designers can let their imagination run free with suggestions from the brainstorming session.
What is GENERATE IDEAS?
100
Producing, storing, controlling, transmitting, and getting work from heat energy. (Think hot water heater,furnace,toaster,jet engine)
What is THERMAL TECHNOLOGY?
100
This is a process that is used to complete a task, with 12 steps from start to finish.
What is The Engineering Design Process
200
This is a triangular shaped tool which can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift an object, or hold an object in place.
What is a WEDGE?
200
The ratio of the number of teeth on one gear to the number of teeth on the other gear is called..?
What is GEAR RATIO?
200
A designer clearly outlines the human need or want that exists in order to solve the problem.
What is DEFINING THE PROBLEM?
200
This technology uses, adapts and alters organisms and processes for a desired outcome. (Think "stain" eating enzymes, altering plant genes.)
What is BIOTECHNOLOGY?
200
This is a system that has no way of controlling the outcome.
What is An Open-Loop System
300
This is a simple machine that uses grooved wheels and a rope to raise, lower or move a load.
What is a PULLEY?
300
Name the 3 types of gears pictured in your review guide.
What is WORM GEARS, CROWN GEARS, AND TOOTH & RACK GEARS?
300
Other solutions could work just as well as the one selected by the designer.
What is CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS?
300
This technology uses _ _ _ _ _*, either gaseous(pneumatics) or liquids (hydraulic) to apply force to transport. (Think air brakes on a truck, hydaulic jack,gasoline pump) *If I answered this I would've given you the answer!
What is FLUID TECHNOLOGY?
300
These are the 4 steps of a closed-loop system.
What is Input, Process, Output, and Feedback
400
A stiff bar that rests on a support called a fulcrum which lifts or moves loads. This can be used to exert a large force over a small distance at one end by exerting only a small force over a greater distance at the other
What is a LEVER?
400
If you want to speed up a process, would you use a larger gear as the driven gear, or a smaller gear?
What are SMALLER GEARS?
400
A problem solving design process where each person in a group presents their ideas in an open forum.
What is BRAINSTORMING?
400
This technology of producing light; controlling light, using light, processing, storage, retrieval and communications, and using light to do work. (Think light bulb, LED, lenses to magnify and reduce,laser surgery instuments)
What is OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY?
400
This is a step by step process used to determine what may have gone wrong with a system.
What is Troubleshooting?
500
This is an inclined plane wrapped around a pole which holds things together or lifts machines.
What is a SCREW?
500
This is a mechanism made by connecting together levers. The fasteners must allow for free movement. "It" can be made to change the direction of a force or make two or more things move at the same time.
What is LINKAGES?
500
This step in the design process is based on the evaluation and testing results, and the designers use the results to improve the product.
What is REFINING AND CREATING THE DESIGN?
500
This technology involves putting parts and materials together to create supports, containers, shelters, connectors and functional shapes (think legs of a chair,city water tower,airplane wing).
What is STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGY?
500
These are called Resources, and there are 7 of them.
What is People, Capital, Time, Information, Energy, Materials, Tools and Machines.
