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. Ceramics - synthetic rubbers - polymers






2. Resistance to indentation / abrasion






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






4. 90 degrees






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






6. Vertically






7. To convey new ideas/ findings well






8. 180 degrees






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






10. Engineering - polymer science - chemistry






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






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






13. Works heavily with chemistry and natural sciences; generally work in highly populated areas so as to always have a steady stream of tasks available






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






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






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






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

18. Landscape - materials needed - cost - etc.






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






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






21. 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






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






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






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






25. Measure of ability to deform elastically without fracture






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






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






28. 90 degrees






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






30. 180 degrees






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

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






33. A rubber band
