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






2. A general agreement






3. The amount or quantity of something






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






5. Listing of a data values along with their corresoponding frequencies.






6. The measure of resistance to heat flow






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






8. The probability that a component part - equipment - or system will satisfactorily perform its intended function under given circumstances - such as environmental conditions - limitations as to operating time - and frequency and thoroughness of mainte






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






10. A physical quantity that has magnitude only.






11. A solid- state switching device.






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






13. A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria






14. Energy derived from sources that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment






15. A type of system that uses circulating pumps and fans to collect and distribute heat.






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






17. Information fed into a data processing system or computer.






18. A body subjected to pull.






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






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






21. The total length of path over which the particle travels.






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






23. The flow of electrical power or charge.






24. Properties other than mechanical properties that pertain to the physics of a material and can usually be measured without the application of force






25. If one object exerts a force on another object - then the second object exerts a force of equal streangth in the opposite direction on the first object.

26. Any of various opaque - fusible - ductile - and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity and heat






27. Of or relating to the manufacture of any product (as earthenware - porcelain - or brick) made essentially from a nonmetallic mineral (as clay) by firing at a high temperature






28. A group of machined or handmade parts that fit together to form a self- contained unit.






29. A law that states all natural processes proceed in a preferred direction






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






31. The ratio of actual strength to required strength






32. An electromagnetically operated switching device.






33. 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.






34. 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






35. A device used to measure flow rate.






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






37. Those properties of a material that reveal the elastic and inelastic reaction when force is applied - or that involve the relationship between stress and strain; for example - the modulus of elasticity - tensile strength - and fatigue limit






38. Used to start and stop flow in a circuit






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

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






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






43. The calculated likelihood that a given event will occur






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






45. Numbers or information describing some characteristic.






46. The measure of resistance to heat flow






47. The place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other.






48. 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






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






50. A truss that lies in a single plane often used to support roofs and bridges
