Engineering Terminology Overview
Engineering terminology is used to describe technical processes, measurements, materials,
and systems. Mastery of this language aids in efficient design, analysis, and communication.
Examples include:
- Load: The force applied to a structure.
- Stress: Internal resistance to deformation.
- Circuit: A path for electric current.
- Thermodynamics: Study of energy and heat flow.
- CAD: Computer-Aided Design used in engineering drawings.
Using precise terminology ensures successful engineering outcomes and safety compliance.
