Essential Engineering
Vocabulary
General Engineering Terms:
Design The process of creating plans or models for an
object, system, or process.
Structure Any built or constructed object, such as a
building, bridge, or even a machine component.
System A collection of components or subsystems that
work together to perform a specific task.
Material The substance something is made of, such as
metal, plastic, wood, or concrete.
Technical Terms:
Load Weight, force, or pressure that a structure or
system must support or endure.
Stress The internal force that develops within a
material when subjected to an external load or
force.
Strain The deformation or change in shape that a
material undergoes when subjected to stress.
Efficiency The measure of how well a system or process
performs with minimal waste of resources
