History
In 1712, Thomas Newcomen built the first commercially successful version of this coal‑powered machine.
steam engine
This fundamental quantity, measured in Newtons, describes the push or pull that causes an object to accelerate.
Force
This term describes the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a point.
Derivative
This handheld device measures electrical properties such as voltage, current, and resistance, and is essential for troubleshooting circuits.
Multimeter
This American inventor and engineer is known for creating the first practical light bulb and holding over 1,000 patents?
Thomas Edison
Completed in 1889, this Paris landmark was originally criticized but became a global symbol of engineering innovation.
Eiffel Tower
This law states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving it, forming the basis of circuit analysis.
Kirchhoff’s Current Law
The derivative of -3x4 is?
-12x3
This machine uses computer‑controlled cutting tools to shape metal or plastic parts with extreme precision, commonly used in manufacturing and prototyping?
CNC machine
This electrical engineer and inventor pioneered AC power systems and contributed to early radio technology, but died nearly forgotten despite his groundbreaking work?
Nikola Tesla
This ancient Roman structure used arches and gravity to transport water over long distances.
Aqueduct
You have a bumble bee, and a semi-truck collide! Who applied the larger force?
Neither they both apply the same amount of force (Newtons Third Law)
What is the antiderivative of 3x-2?
-3x-1 + C
This precision tool uses a sliding scale and jaws to measure inside, outside, and depth dimensions with high accuracy?
Calipers
These engineer’s, 1903 aircraft design achieved the first controlled, sustained powered flight in history at Kitty Hawk?
The Wright brothers
This 1936 engineering achievement on the Colorado River became one of the largest concrete structures ever built and transformed power generation in the American Southwest.
The completion of the Hoover Dam
When referring to an RC circuit, what does the R and C stand for?
Resistance and Capacitance
What formula would you use to calculate the Curl of a Simple closed object on the xy plane?
Green's Theorem
This tool uses a laser to project a perfectly straight reference line, commonly used in construction and alignment tasks?

This civil engineer designed the Brooklyn Bridge and completed it after her husband fell ill, becoming one of the first women to oversee a major construction project?
Emily Roebling
In 1947, this experimental aircraft became the first to break the sound barrier, piloted by Chuck Yeager.
Bell X‑1
This phenomenon describes how a changing magnetic field can induce an electric field even in empty space, forming one of the four fundamental Maxwell equations.
Faraday’s law
In a triple integral, what are the three variables in the Spherical Coordinates?
Rho, Phi, Theta
This device uses strain gauges to measure the deformation of a material under load, allowing engineers to determine stress–strain relationships in testing?
Load Cell
What device did Thomas Edison use to show people how dangerous AC current was at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and what animal did he use in the demonstration?
Electric chair, Elephant
