Kinds of EngineeringElement :

• EngineeringComponent (1 kind, 15 facts) - A fundamental concept that applies in many engineering domains. An EngineeringComponent is an EngineeringElement that is a physically whole object, such as one might see listed as standard parts in a catalog. The main difference betweeen EngineeringComponents and arbitrary globs of matter is that EngineeringComponents are object-like in a modeling sense. Thus, an EngineeringComponent is not an arbtrary subregion, but a part of a system with a stable identity
• Junction (2 facts) - An interface between two EngineeringElements that have different electrical characteristics
• Terminal (4 facts) - The end of an EngineeringElement where signals are either transmitted or received
