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. Categorical data graph percentage






2. The turning effect of a force about a point equal to the magnitude of the force times the perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action from the force.






3. When a material is reduced in volume by the application of pressure; the reciprocal of the bulk modulus






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






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






6. Operational techniques necessary to satisfy all quality requirements; includes process monitoring and the elimination of root causes of unsatisfactory product or service quality performance






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






8. An external force applied to an object.






9. The direction of a vector is defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrow's line of direction.






10. Graphical representation of a material's mechanical properties






11. A profession for which one trains and which is undertaken as a permanent calling.






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






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






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






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






16. The value that occurs most frequently






17. States that the direct current flowing in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit

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






19. 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






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






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






22. Individual fuel cells that are combined in series.






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






24. The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.






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






26. The type of charge an atomic particle has






27. 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






28. The condition of a string - wire - or rod that is stretched between two points






29. Impeding effect exerted by one material object on another.






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






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






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






33. Bell- shaped probability distribution






34. A structure or body which is over- constrained such that there are more unknown supports than there are equations of static equilibrium.






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






36. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance - funding - space - materials - and human capabilities






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






38. The rotating member of an electrical machine






39. The flow of electrical power or charge.






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






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






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






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






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






45. 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






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






47. A form of energy that travels through space as waves.






48. The fixed point around which a lever rotates.






49. Changing one form of energy to another






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