Corporate houses use glass facades in their architecture. Which type of glass is best for this use?
Soda-lime glass
Laminated glass
Tempered or toughended glass
Pyrex or Borosilicate glass
This commercial glass and is the most commonly used. Has medium to low thermal shock, in other words, it will shatter going from cold to hot or the other way.
Borosilicate (Pyrex)
Laminated
Toughened
Glass Fibre
Soda Glass
Creep is usually carried out after hardening of metal to: increase its toughness and ductility, decrease hardness and brittleness.
True
False
Ferrous is an alloy that exhibits excellent mechanical strength, resistance to thermal creep deformation, good surface stability and resistance to corrosion.
True
False
Creep is the tendency of a metal (or material) to slowly move or deform permanently due to the long term exposure of stress that are below the yield strength or ultimate strength of the metal.
True
False
A common wood to make a pencil is cedar. Which type of wood is cedar?
Plywood
Softwood
Hardwood
Composite wood
The grain size in a metal can affect the properties. Which of the following statements are true?
1. The larger the grain, the more brittle the metal
2. The smaller the grain, the more brittle the metal
3. The larger the grain, the more ductile the metal
1 & 2
1 & 3

1, 2 & 3
None
Which of the following best describes the term brittle?
Can be drawn or extruded into an extended shape
Returns to its original shape after being deformed
Breaks into numerous sharp shards
Slow and permanent deformation under the influence of mechanical stress
Which of the following is a heat-treating process?
Warping
Felting
Tempering
Seasoning
Metals and metallic alloys are easily recyclable. Which of the following is an example of an alloy?

Human factor data related to physical characteristics used to optimise the user’s safety, health, comfort and performance is known as Psychological factors.
True
False
Anthropometrics: The aspect of ergonomics that deals with body measurements, particularly those of size, strength and physical capacity.
True
False
Typically descriptive data used to find out in-depth the way people think or feel – their perception. Useful for research at the individual or small (focus) group level is known as Quantitative data.
True
False
Data that can be measured and recorded using numbers. Examples include height, shoe size, and fingernail length. This is known as Quantitative Data
True
False
Technology that is used to reduce pollutants and waste at the end of a process are referred to as :
converging technologies
product recovery strategies
recovery of raw materials
end-of-pipe technologies
Products which are improved and developed over time leading to new versions and generations are known as:
Incremental Solutions
System level solutions
Clean Technology
Product cycle
An additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser to fuse small particles of material into a mass that has a desired 3D shape.
Perspective drawings
Surface modelling
Selective laser sintering (SLS)
Prototypes that are equipped with the ability to take measurements to provide accurate quantitative feedback for analysis.
Surface modelling
Instrumented models
Stereo-lithography
Virtual prototyping
A system that virtually slices a 3D CAD model into thin layers, then cuts out each layer from a roll of material using a laser or plotter cutter. The layers can then be glued in the correct order to create a 3D model.
Working drawings
Finite element analysis (FEA)
Selective laser sintering (SLS)
Laminated object manufacturing (LOM)
These models are clear representations of the final part. They provide a complete set of data for the product to be realized. ----->Surface
