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 physical quantity that has magnitude only.






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






3. Measure of data scatter






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






5. To make into a product suitable for use; to make from raw materials by hand or by machinery; to produce according to an organized plan and with division of labor






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






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






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






9. Changes one form of power to another






10. An electromagnetically operated switching device.






11. 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.

12. A device used to measure flow rate.






13. A natural fuel such as coal or gas - formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms






14. A measure of a fluid's thickness or resistance to flow.






15. A method of analysis of trusses which constructs free body diagrams of each joint and determines the forces acting in that joint by considering equilibrium of the joint pin.






16. Bell- shaped probability distribution






17. Numbers or information describing some characteristic.






18. A sketch that shows an object's height - width - and depth in a single view.






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






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






21. The type of charge an atomic particle has






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






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






24. Information encoded in a digital form - which is usually stored in an assigned address of a data memory for later use by the processor.






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






26. Used to transport fluid in a circuit






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






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






29. The calculated likelihood that a given event will occur






30. A general agreement






31. The state when objects are not yet in motion






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






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






34. A rigid bar used to exert a pressure or sustain a weight at one point of its length by the application of a force at a second and turning at a third on a fulcrum.






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






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






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. The information produced by a computer






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






40. A body subjected to a push.






41. A type of pressure control valve that limits the maximum pressure in a hydraulic or pneumatic circuit.






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






43. The fixed point around which a lever rotates.






44. The measure of resistance to heat flow






45. Degree of conformity of a measure to a standard value.






46. An activity with observable results






47. The transfer of heat by the movement of a mass or substance; it can take place only in fluids






48. 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






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






50. Absolute temperature scale
