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






2. A device used to remove contamination from a fluid






3. Condition caused by collapse - break - or bending - so that a structure or structural element can no longer fulfill its purpose






4. Used to transport fluid in a circuit






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






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






7. Values that represent a measurable quantity






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






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






10. Stages a product goes through from concept and use to eventual withdrawal from the marketplace






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






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






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






14. A statsitical measurement of variability






15. 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






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






17. A part or element of a larger whole






18. 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






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






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






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






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






23. A solid- state switching device.






24. An external force applied to an object.






25. Any of various elementary mechanisms including the lever - the wheel and axle - the pulley - the inclined plane - the wedge - and the screw.






26. Slender straight pieces of a truss connected by joints.






27. A surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something at right angles to the axis.






28. The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity; Energy is transferred through collisions from one molecule to another






29. A control system that considers the output of a system and makes adjustments based on that output.






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






31. The law that if two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third body then the first two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with each other






32. Measure of variation equal to the sum of the deviations of each value from the mean.






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






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






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






36. Any device that controls - either automatically or manually - the flow of a fluid.






37. The amount or quantity of something






38. A device used to convert fluid power into mechanical power in the form of linear motion.






39. 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






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






41. 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.






42. The change of motion of the body is proportional to the net force imposed on the body and is in the direction of the net force.

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






47. The ability to get answers to questions through a conscious - organized process. The answers are usually - but not necessarily - quantitative






48. A type of lever that is a wheel with a groove in its rim - which is used to change the direction or multiply a force exerted by a rope or cable.






49. Returning to an original condition. The extraction and recovery of valuable materials from scrap or other discarded materials






50. A general agreement
