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 machine for producing power in which a wheel or rotor is made to revolve by a fast- moving flow of water - steam - gas - or air






2. A device used to spray an oil mist into the stream of a pneumatic system.






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






4. The value that occurs most frequently






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






6. A device that holds the compressed air in a pneumatic system.






7. A part or element of a larger whole






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






9. The use of quality control techniques associated with a process.






10. The use of gas flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.






11. Distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






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






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






14. An external force applied to an object.






15. A control system that considers the output of a system and makes adjustments based on that output.






16. An energy source that will never run out






17. A person or group for which product or service design efforts are intended.






18. Individual fuel cells that are combined in series.






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






20. 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






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

23. The ratio of the magnitude of the resistance and effort forces applied a system.






24. Energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion






25. Changing one form of energy to another






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






27. The amount or quantity of something






28. A law that states that the internal energy in a system remains constant and the change in thermal energy of a system is equal to the work done on the system.






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






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

50. Slender straight pieces of a truss connected by joints.
