MAE 1351 PRACTICE EXAMINATION 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Linear Dimensional Constraints.
Answer: defines the distance between two points, the length of a line
segment, or the distance between a point and a line
◍ assembly constraints.
Answer: maintaining dimensional or geometric relationships with respect to
each other
◍ Thermal flow and Temperature.
Answer: can also be solved using FEAit is important to know how
temperature flows because it may affect the performance of an object
◍ Concentric constraint.
Answer: makes the centers of arcs or circles coincident
◍ Webs.
Answer: areas of thin material that connect two or more heavier areas on the
part
◍ ANSI Y14.5.
Answer: The accepted national standard in the United States for
dimensioning and tolerancing. Published by the ASME (American Society
of Mechanical Engineers)
◍ Auxiliary Views.
Answer: gives a perspective on features that don't lie on planes but are
aligned on with the principal viewsused for any slanted surface which is any
surface that isn't parallel to one of the principal planes.
◍ Related views.
Answer: Views adjacent to the same view that share a common dimension
, that must be transferred in creating auxiliary views
◍ Main assembly.
Answer: A completed device usually composed of multiple smaller parts
and/or
◍ High or low volume production?Sand Casting.
Answer: High-Volume- mold is created by making a master pattern. which
has the same geometry as the desired part.
◍ medium drive fit.
Answer: ordinary steel parts or shrink fits on light sections.
◍ Ground Constraints.
Answer: the first constraint applied to a new sketch, serves as anchors to fix
geometry in space
◍ Extrude to the next surface.
Answer: An extrusion begins at the profile and the protrusion or cut stops
when it intersects the next surface encountered
◍ Deep drawing.
Answer: thin shelled parts being made from sheet metal, ex. Coke can
◍ Hole basis or basic hole system.
Answer: In this system, the basic size is applied to the lower limit of the
hole
◍ Hierarchy.
Answer: The parent-child relationships between instances in an assembly
◍ Preferred Configuration.
Answer: Front, Top, Right
◍ Boundary Conditions.
Answer: are specified at nodal points and along the elements edge
◍ High or low volume production?Sand Casting.
Answer: High-Volume- mold is created by making a master pattern. which
, has the same geometry as the desired part.
◍ Dimensional Constraints.
Answer: measurements used to control the size and position of entities in
your sketch.
◍ Worldwide Standard.
Answer: ISO
◍ approved signatures.
Answer: In main title block where appropriate people can initial and date
drawing.
◍ Boss.
Answer: a slightly raised circular area
◍ US Standard.
Answer: ANSI/ASME Y14 Series
◍ perpendicularity.
Answer: specifies a 3-D tolerance zone that can control the orientation of a
surface or axis of a hole or cylinder relative to a datum
◍ Profile of a Line.
Answer: specifies a 2-D tolerance zone defined by two contours. The
tolerance may specify a datum reference
◍ Sliding Fit.
Answer: These fits are not intended to run freely, but are intended to move
and turn freely and locate accurately.
◍ Engineering drawings should always have a front, top and right view. True?.
Answer: No
◍ Studs.
Answer: A stud is a fastener with different threads at each end
◍ Disadvantage of oblique pictorials.
Answer: they tend to be distorted and appear elongated when viewed
