Design Process (29%)
This is the first step in the design process, where you define the requirements and constraints of a project.
What is the Problem Statement?
This type of power system uses fluids (liquids or gases) to transmit energy and perform work.
What is Fluid Power?
This is the CAD command used if you want to double the size of an object in your drawing.
What is Scale?
This process involves monitoring a production line to ensure products meet specific standards.
What is Quality Control?
This acronym stands for items like safety glasses and gloves that protect workers from injury.
What is PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)?
This term describes a group technique used to generate a large number of creative ideas for a design solution.
What is Brainstorming?
This engineer is specifically responsible for tasks involving surveying and large infrastructure projects.
What is a Civil Engineer?
This acronym stands for the software used to create precise 2D or 3D technical drawings.
What is CAD (Computer-Aided Design)?
Dial calipers and micrometers are examples of these types of instruments used for precise measurements.
What are Measurement Tools?
This term describes the moral principles and standards that guide the conduct of engineers.
What are Ethics?
This is the original sample or working model of a product used for testing in research and development.
What is a Prototype?
This branch of engineering principles deals with bodies at rest or forces in equilibrium.
What is Statics?
This type of software is used to organize, calculate, and interpret data for engineering applications.
What is Spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel)?
An engineer must do this to determine if a material has the right hardness or strength for a job.
What is Material Testing?
According to the blueprint, an effective design team must clearly identify these two things for every member of the group.
What are roles and responsibilities?
After building a prototype, engineers must do this to ensure it meets the defined criteria.
What is Testing?
This is the name for the specific waveform used in AC (Alternating Current) voltage.
What is a Sine Wave?
In CAD, this specific type of projection shows the top, front, and side views of an object.
What is Orthographic Projection?
This specific engineering field focuses on the study of how different substances (like polymers or alloys) behave under stress.
What is Materials Science (or Engineering)?
According to the NOCTI Blueprint, this is the first step in "Engineering Career Awareness"—it requires being able to categorize different types of engineering.
What is describing Engineering Fields?
The total amount that a specific dimension is allowed to vary is known by this technical term.
What is Tolerance?
This field of engineering study focuses on the principles and applications of heat and energy transfer.
What is Thermodynamics?
These two types of "general" software are used by engineers to write reports and deliver project updates.
What are Word Processing and Presentation software?
When selecting a material for a prototype, an engineer must ensure it is "appropriate," meaning it matches these predefined project requirements.
What are Criteria (or Specifications)?
This federal agency (often discussed in safety units) sets the standards that define "proper use" of safety equipment in the workplace.
What is OSHA?
