Introduction To Engineering - 4

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 26 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. Nano: ^-9; micro: ^-6; milli: ^-3; kilo: ^3; mega: ^6; giga: ^9

5. Comes up with concepts and analysis before anything has been made






6. 1.) a point falls more than 3 standard deviations away from the mean 2.) 9 points in a row occur on the same side of the mean 3.) 6 points occur with a consistently increasing or decreasing trend






7. Focus on the efficiency of the manufacturing process
