Introduction To Engineering - 3

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 33 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. Works heavily with chemistry and natural sciences; generally work in highly populated areas so as to always have a steady stream of tasks available






2. 90 degrees






3. Resistance to indentation / abrasion






4. Toxic waste disposal - water treatment - solid waste disposal






5. 180 degrees






6. What atoms it consists of and how they are arranged


7. A study of the relationship between molecules' structures and the properties they posses






8. Build trust and rapport; understand the context of the individual; communicate sufficiently






9. Deals with electricity - from designing circuits to power lines






10. How much the object is stretched or compressed [amount of deformation / normal dimensions]






11. When the load is removed - the part returns to its original shape






12. Having a heavy accent - being distracted by something other than the speaker - flashy slides -


13. To convey new ideas/ findings well






14. As early as you can think of - Early romans used it to design cities - etc.






15. Engineering - polymer science - chemistry






16. A rubber band






17. To have 0% energy loss during energy transportation [actually impossible]






18. Landscape - materials needed - cost - etc.






19. 180 degrees






20. The ability of a material to absorb energy without either deforming or breaking






21. Don't stretch before they break; exhibit no necking






22. In order for an airplane to fly - the lift force must exceed the _______________.






23. Ceramics - synthetic rubbers - polymers






24. Edison discovered the first direct current [DC] - while Tesla discovered alternating current [AC]. both believed their method was the better one to use - and fought to prove theirs was more efficient






25. Measure of ability to absorb energy without deforming or breaking [ ABSORBS the energy - yields to load]






26. Measure of ability to deform elastically without fracture






27. F=mg [force = mass of plane * 9.81]






28. 90 degrees






29. Designs and constructs types of infrastructure (bridges - buildings - tunnels - domes - etc)






30. In labs - for the government - or in factories






31. Can take stress without deformation - resists energy [breaks from too much load - not much give]






32. Vertically






33. The force on an object [load / area]; may be direct - shear - or torsional
