Engineering Challenge
Your robot needs to detect a wall.
Distance sensor/Ultrasonic
I design circuits and power systems.
Electrical
Electrical engineers use this to measure voltage.
Multimeter
This famous structure spans San Francisco Bay.
Golden Gate Bridge
This organization sends astronauts into space.
NASA
A bridge collapses during testing. What should engineers do first?
Investigate why it failed
I design bridges and highways.
Civil Engineer
Mechanical engineers use CAD software to create these.
3D Models/designs
This engineering marvel carries cars through a tunnel under the English Channel.
Channel Tunnel
The first step in the engineering design process is usually identifying this.
Identify the problem
A robot keeps driving in circles. Which engineer helps fix the code?
Software Engineer/Programmer
I design machines and engines.
Mechanical Engineer
Software engineers use this hardware to write programs.
Computers
NASA's Mars rovers are examples of this type of engineering.
Robotics Engineering
Engineers improve designs by building and testing these.
Prototypes
A city needs cleaner drinking water.
Civil Engineering
I write code and create apps.
Software Engineer/Programmer
Civil engineers use blueprints. What is a blueprint?
Engineering drawing
Smartphones require electrical and this type of engineering to program.
Software Engineering
The engineering design process often repeats through testing and improving. This is called:
Iteration
A self-driving car needs sensors, code, and mechanical parts. Name three engineering fields involved.
Mechanical/Electrical/Software
I combine mechanics, electronics, and coding.
Robotics Engineer
Robotics engineers use sensors and this device that acts as the robot's brain.
Controller/MicroController
Skyscrapers require civil and this type of engineering to ensure elevators and HVAC systems work.
Mechanical Engineering
This engineer became famous for fun science and engineering videos on YouTube.
