Principles Of Engineering

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. A broad ridge or pair of ridges projecting at a right angle from the edge of a structural shape in order to strengthen or stiffen it.






2. Operational techniques necessary to satisfy all quality requirements; includes process monitoring and the elimination of root causes of unsatisfactory product or service quality performance






3. SPC is a method of monitoring - controlling - and ideally improving a process through statistical analysis. Its four basic steps include measuring the process - eliminating variances in the process to make it consistent - monitoring the process - and






4. Properties other than mechanical properties that pertain to the physics of a material and can usually be measured without the application of force






5. The energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or nature or because of the arrangement of parts






6. A mathematical property of a cross section that is concerned with a surface area and how that area is distributed about a centroidal axis.






7. A process that changes the size and shape of a material by a combination of force and a shaped form






8. Conversion of an analog signal to a digital quantity such as binary.






9. The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity; Energy is transferred through collisions from one molecule to another






10. A circular toothed object used to transfer rotary motion and torque through interlocking teeth






11. Solid material which is composed of two or more substances having different physical characteristics and in which each substance retains its identity while contributing desirable properties to the whole; especially - a structural material made of pla






12. The recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science - computing - engineering - and technology.






13. A method of analysis of trusses which constructs free body diagrams of each joint and determines the forces acting in that joint by considering equilibrium of the joint pin.






14. The potential difference measured in volts. The amount of work to be done to move a charge from one point to another along an electric circuit






15. The rotating member of an electrical machine






16. A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria.






17. Used to transport fluid in a circuit






18. The contact of a relay that is closed when the coil is de- energized.






19. A set of all possible outcomes or events in an experiment that cannot be further broken down.






20. The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it.

22. The flow of electrical power or charge.






23. Stages a product goes through from concept and use to eventual withdrawal from the market place.






24. A systemized body of laws; a set of principles - as of ethics






25. Graphical representation of a material's mechanical properties






26. Middle value of a set of values arranged in order of magnitude.






27. A group technique for solving problems - generating ideas - stimulating creative thinking - etc. - by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion






28. The elements - constituents - or substances of which something is composed or can be made; matter that has qualities which give it individuality and by which it may be categorized






29. The volume of fluid that moves through a system in a given period of time.






30. A part of an axle or shaft bent out at right angles - for converting reciprocal to circular motion and vice versa.






31. A truss composed of triangles - which will retain its shape even when removed from supports.






32. A thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work






33. Nominal stress developed in a material at rupture. Not necessarily equal to ultimate strength. Since necking is not taken into account in determining rupture strength - seldom indicates true stress at rupture






34. Returning to an original condition. The extraction and recovery of valuable materials from scrap or other discarded materials






35. The reason for which something is done or for which something exists.






36. The basic unit of electric current adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites






37. The force per unit area exerted by a fluid against a surface






38. An external force applied to an object.






39. Conversion of a digital signal to its analog equivalent - such as a voltage.






40. The difference between the maximum and minimum dimensions allowed within the design of a product.






41. To monitor and control a process so that the quality of the output/product improves.






42. The geometric center of an area.






43. A small circuit board that controls all the processing within a computer.






44. Bell- shaped probability distribution






45. An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder - forming the path and pitch.






46. A sketch that shows an object's height - width - and depth in a single view.






47. Information encoded in a digital form - which is usually stored in an assigned address of a data memory for later use by the processor.






48. Systems that do not make use of any externally powered - moving parts - such as circulation pumps - to move heated water or air.






49. A part or element of a larger whole






50. Impeding effect exerted by one material object on another.
