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






2. A part of a design brief that clearly and concisely identifies a client's or target consumer's problem - need - or want.






3. The sense of a vector is the direction of the vector relative to its path and indicated by the location of the arrow.

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






23. 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






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






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






26. A part or element of a larger whole






27. A force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion.






28. A strong rope - usually made of metal - designed to have great tensile strength and to be used in structures.






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






30. 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






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






32. Changing one form of energy to another






33. The result of an experiment






34. A control circuit in which the system output has no effect on the control






35. 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






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






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






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






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






41. A system that links electricity produced in power stations to deliver it to where it is needed






42. Two different sized circular objects that are attached together and turn as one.






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

48. A circuit in which all parts are connected end to end to provide a single path of current






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






50. Energy in transit due to a temperature difference between the source from which the energy is coming and a sink toward which the energy is going
