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. The collection - evaluation - and interpretation of data






2. A device for making - breaking - or changing the connections in an electrical circuit.






3. A person who designs any of a variety of things. This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in some way using visual cues to organize work.






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






5. The process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction - such as the decomposition of water






6. A mechanical property of a material that shows how effective the material is absorbing mechanical energy without sustaining any permanent damage






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

8. The square root of the variance.






9. Condition caused by collapse - break - or bending - so that a structure or structural element can no longer fulfill its purpose






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






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






12. The production of an electric or magnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body






13. The measurement of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material






14. Individual fuel cells that are combined in series.






15. Stages a product goes through from concept and use to eventual withdrawal from the marketplace






16. Amount of difference between a value and the mean.






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






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






19. To make into a product suitable for use; to make from raw materials by hand or by machinery; to produce according to an organized plan and with division of labor






20. A switching device that uses the magnetic field generated by an electrical current for actuation.






21. A profession for which one trains and which is undertaken as a permanent calling.






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






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






24. A series of usually metal links or rings connected to or fitted into one another and used to transmit motion and power within a sprocket system.






25. A support that only prevents a beam from translating in one direction.






26. Anything for which a person is legally bound or responsible






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






28. The unit of electric resistance in the meter- kilogram- second system of units. Symbolized as O






29. Change in length of an object in some direction per unit






30. 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






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






32. A part or element of a larger whole






33. Changes one form of power to another






34. Degree of conformity of a measure to a standard value.






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






36. The ratio of actual strength to required strength






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






38. The absolute value of a number






39. The value that occurs most frequently






40. Plant materials and animal waste used especially as a source of fuel.






41. The rate at which work is performed or energy is expended






42. A physical quantity that has magnitude only.






43. A cylinder that acts under pressure in one direction only and returns automatically when the pressure is released.






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






45. Test methods used to examine an object - material - or system causing permanent damage to its usefulness






46. Any alteration of shape or dimensions of a body caused by stresses - thermal expansion or contraction - chemical or metallurgical transformations - or shrinkage and expansions due to moisture change






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






48. The ability to get answers to questions through a conscious - organized process. The answers are usually - but not necessarily - quantitative






49. An organization that works to develop and enforce regulations that implement environmental laws enacted by Congress






50. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance - funding - space - materials - and human capabilities
