FTCE Engineering and Technology
Education Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Technology - CORRECT ANSWER The modification of the natural world to satisfy
human needs and wants
Da Vinci Surgical System - CORRECT ANSWER Allow doctors to sit at their console
a few feet away from their patient and guide robotic arms through delicate surgeries
Nanotechnology - CORRECT ANSWER An engineering field that involves
manipulating materials at an atomic or molecular level.
Design - CORRECT ANSWER The process of creating things by planning
The Design Process - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Identify a Need, 2. Gather Information,
3.Develop Possible Solutions, 4. Model the Solution, 5. Test and Evaluate the Solutions, 6.
Refine the Solution, 7. Communicate your ideas
Drafting - CORRECT ANSWER The process of creating drawings needed so that a
part or product can be manufactured or built.
CAD - CORRECT ANSWER Computer-Aided Design. The process of designing on a
computer.
Wireframe Models - CORRECT ANSWER Simplest Form of 3D Modeling. All you
see are lines connecting together. You can use this to determine the amount of space between
objects. A disadvantage is that it does not provide as much information as surface or solid
modeling.
, Surface Models - CORRECT ANSWER Models only showing the surface of an object.
It can give you the surface area of an object. A disadvantage is that the layer is paper thin so
when viewed at certain angles it only shows a curved line.
Solid Models - CORRECT ANSWER Show the shape, area and volume of an object.
Detailed drawings are usually solid models.
Mechanical Design - CORRECT ANSWER An engineering activity that involves
designing individual parts and assemblies
Rendering - CORRECT ANSWER Surface shading used to give realism and depth to
drawings
Rapid Prototyping - CORRECT ANSWER Uses CAD data to create physical models.
Structure - CORRECT ANSWER Something that is constructed or built
Civil Engineers - CORRECT ANSWER Design and supervise the building of
structures that serve the public.
Compression - CORRECT ANSWER A material which is squeezed
Tension - CORRECT ANSWER Stretches an object
Torsion - CORRECT ANSWER Twists an object
Shear - CORRECT ANSWER Pushes adjacent parts of a material in opposite directions
Static Load - CORRECT ANSWER Changes slowly or not at all
