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 quantity that has both a magnitude and direction.






2. Sometimes referred to as tensile strength; determined by measuring the maximum load a material specimen can carry when in the shape of a rectangular bar or cylindrical can






3. A force system where all of the forces are applied at a common point on the body or having their lines of action with a common intersection point.






4. Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions

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






6. The tank that holds the fluid in a hydraulic system.






7. Produced by the combining of parts or elements to form a whole - rather than of natural origin; not real - artificial






8. A gear positioned between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.






9. Energy caused by the movement of electrons.






10. Frequency distibution graph






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






12. A surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something at right angles to the axis.






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






14. A part of the physical world as described by its thermodynamic properties such as temperature - volume - pressure - concentration - surface tension - and viscosity.






15. The use of a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another.






16. 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






17. An electromagnetically operated switching device.






18. The unit of potential difference symbolized as V






19. Every body or particle continues at a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line - unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting upon it.

20. The collection - evaluation - and interpretation of data






21. A major or minor change in the design of an item - effected in order to correct a deficiency - to facilitate production - or to improve operational effectiveness.






22. The return to the input of a part of the output of a machine - system - or process






23. Values that possess names or labels






24. Creating - designing - and transmitting technical information so that people can understand it easily and use it safely - effectively - and efficiently.






25. Categorical data graph






26. A type of pneumatic pressure control valve that controls the maximum pressure in a branch of a circuit.






27. The condition or quality of being true - correct - or exact; precision; exactness.






28. A systematic problem- solving strategy - with criteria and constraints - used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem






29. A plate or bracket for strengthening an angle in framework.






30. A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction.






31. A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved - its criteria - and its constraints.






32. The type of charge an atomic particle has






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






34. A fundamental entity of nature that is transferred between parts of a system in the production of physical change within the system and usually regarded as the capacity for doing work






35. A physical quantity that has magnitude only.






36. The use of heat from within the Earth or from the atmosphere near oceans






37. The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.






38. A continuous band of tough flexible material used to transmit motion and power within a pulley system.






39. The direction of a vector is defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrow's line of direction.






40. The transfer of heat by the movement of a mass or substance; it can take place only in fluids






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






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






43. A part or element of a larger whole






44. The magnitude of the total distance traveled divided by the time elapsed.






45. A toothed wheel whose teeth engage the links of a chain.






46. A natural fuel such as coal or gas - formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms






47. A closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit






48. The absolute pressure of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature - provided its volume stays constant

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






50. The condition of unrestrained motion in a gravitational field.
