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. The loss of the load- bearing ability of a material under repeated load application - as opposed to a single load






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






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






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






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






7. The value that occurs most frequently






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






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






10. States that the volume of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature - provided its pressure remains constant

13. A statsitical measurement of variability






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






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






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






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






18. Categorical data graph






19. Stages a product goes through from concept and use to eventual withdrawal from the market place.






20. An electromagnetically operated switching device.






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






22. A subset of a sample space






23. A system of discrete states: high or low - on or off - 1 or 0.






24. Values that represent a measurable quantity






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






26. The magnitude of the total distance traveled divided by the time elapsed.






27. Changes one form of power to another






28. A circular toothed object used to transfer rotary motion and torque through interlocking teeth






29. 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






30. A body subjected to pull.






31. A part or element of a larger whole






32. Numbers or information describing some characteristic.

36. Values that possess names or labels






37. The flow of electrical power or charge.






38. The geometric center of an area.






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






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






41. The collection and analysis of numerical data in large quantities






42. The unit of potential difference symbolized as V






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






44. 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






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






46. Bell- shaped probability distribution






47. A plate or bracket for strengthening an angle in framework.






48. Frequency distibution graph






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