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. The state when objects are not yet in motion






2. Test methods used to examine an object - material - or system without impairing its future usefulness






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






4. The measure of resistance to heat flow






5. Point at which the deformation is no longer directly proportional to the applied force. Hooke's Law no longer applies






6. The process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction - such as the decomposition of water






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






8. The connection points of members of a truss






9. An activity with observable results






10. A type of 3D CAD modeling that represents the volume of an object - not just its lines and surfaces






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

12. 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






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






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






15. The production of an electric or magnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body






16. Values that possess names or labels






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






18. A physical quantity that has magnitude only.






19. Something made up of interdependent parts in a definite pattern of organization - such as trusses - frames - or machines.






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






21. The process of creating an object by adding small pieces or layers together to make a final product






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






23. Categorical data graph






24. A group technique for solving problems - generating ideas - stimulating creative thinking - etc. - by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion






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






26. A device used to remove contamination from a fluid






27. A device that responds to a physical stimulus






28. Amount of difference between a value and the mean.






29. The distance the fluid travels through a system in a given period of time.






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






31. The total pressure exerted on a system - including atmospheric pressure.






32. A vector quantity that includes the speed and direction of an object.






33. A toothed wheel whose teeth engage the links of a chain.






34. Used to transport fluid in a circuit






35. Arithmetic average






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






37. The geometric center of an area.






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






39. Maximum stress that a material will withstand without permanent deformation






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






41. A solid- state switching device.






42. 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






43. The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above the point of measurement.






44. A body subjected to a push.






45. Every body or particle continues at a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line - unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting upon it.

46. The use of a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another.






47. The absolute value of a number






48. 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






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






50. Any alteration of shape or dimensions of a body caused by stresses - thermal expansion or contraction - chemical or metallurgical transformations - or shrinkage and expansions due to moisture change
