I'm a ME History Buff
ME...Concepts
Pfft, please, I know my
constants!
constants!
I want to be famous like them! (famous ME/engs./inno./scientists)

This law of motion states that for every action force in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion (Newton's Third Law, Third Law of Motion)?
100
This constant came to fruition when an apple supposedly fell on someone's head
What is g (gravitational constant, 9.81 m/s^2)?
100
This individual formerly worked as a mechanical engineer at Boeing before becoming a popular science show host
Who is Bill Nye?
200
A certification for engineering/engineering technology programs in college and university programs
What is ABET?
200
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) was founded in this year
When was 1880?
200
This structural framework supports loads prettyy well
What are trusses?
200
The force that resists the initiation of motion between two contacting surfaces that are at rest relative to each other
What is static friction?
200
Known as the mother of coding, this engineer developed the first mechanical computing
Who is Ada Lovelace?
300
This ME professor has won Jeopardy before
Who is Professor Rosen?
300
This major 20th-century engineering achievement allowed aircraft to exceed the speed of sound for the first time in 1947
What is breaking the sound barrier?
300
These three criterion ensure safe and optimized material performance in structural and mechanical engineering
What is Strength, Stability, and Stiffness (the three S's)?
300
This value relates the weight of a material per mole to the weight of its atomic structure
What is Avogadro's Number?
300
This innovator attended chemistry lessons at the Cooper Union
Who is Thomas Edison?
400
The ME degree was offered at the Cooper Union since this year
When was 1900?
400
This closed, repeating sequences of processes was named after the patentor of the first successful four-stroke engine in 1864
What is the Otto Cycle?
400
A thin layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a surface formed by the fluid flowing along the surface. The fluid's interaction with the wall induces a no-slip boundary condition (zero velocity at the wall)
What is a boundary layer?
400
This parameter is used in fluid mechanics to represent a fluid's resistance to flow and shear under gravity.
What is Kinematic Viscosity?
400
This engineer owned a glue factory, an iron rolling mill, created the first steel rocking chair, established an institution focused on adult education, and ran for president under the Greenback Party
Who was Peter Cooper?
500
Due to renovations, this was the only year that the commencement ceremony was not conducted in the Great Hall.
What is 1973?
500
This device was first patented by Thomas Savery in 1698. A piston was added to it by Thomas Newcomen in 1712 to allow for the transmission of power to machinery

500
This constant has a value of 5.670367×10-8
What is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant?
500
This engineer was the president and CEO of IEEE, a member on the board of directors of ABET, a CTO of a company focused on explosive disruptive technologies, and a contributor to engineering education and research since 1995
Who is Barry Shoop?
