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






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. The structure of or the relationship of the parts in a machine - or in a construction or process comparable to a machine.






4. The information produced by a computer






5. Ratio of distance traveled by the applied effort and resistance force within a system.






6. Crude or processed material that can be converted by manufacture - processing - or combination into a new and useful product; something with a potential for improvement - development - or elaboration






7. 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.






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






9. The fractional increase in a material's length due to stress in tension or thermal expansion






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






11. The ratio of the increment of some specified form of stress to the increment of some specified form of strain - such as Young's modulus - the bulk modulus - or the shear modulus. Also known as coefficient of elasticity - elasticity modulus - elastic






12. The result of an experiment






13. Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units - each a relatively light and simple molecule






14. The net transfer of electric charge (electron movement along a path) per unit of time.






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






16. A structure or body which is over- constrained such that there are more unknown supports than there are equations of static equilibrium.






17. The square root of the variance.






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






19. A subset of a sample space






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






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






22. Categorical data graph percentage






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






24. Mechanical property of a material that indicates the ability of the material to handle overloading before it fractures






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






26. A step- by- step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end - especially by a computer.






27. An energy source that will never run out






28. An air pump that compresses air into a receiver tank.






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






30. A diagram used to isolate a body from its environment - showing all external forces acting upon it.






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






32. A subordinate routine; specifically - a sequence of computer instructions for performing a specified task that can be used repeatedly.






33. The probability of an event occurring based upon other event probabilities

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






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






36. A condition where there are no net external forces acting upon a particle or rigid body and the body remains at rest or continues at a constant velocity.






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






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






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






40. Machining a surface to size with a fine feed produced in a lathe - milling machine - or grinder






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






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






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






44. A measure of how easily a material can be twisted






45. Processes that remove material to change the size - shape - or surface of a part. There are two groups of separating processes: machining and shearing






46. 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






47. The use of a liquid flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another






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






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






50. An external force applied to an object.
