Systems
The two types of systems
What are closed loop and open loop
Communication needs to have THIS to be understood
These are the four zones of transportation
What are land, sea, air, and space
This is the purpose of engineering`
This is why concrete is reinforced with steel rebar
what is combining the compression strength of concrete and the tension strength of steel
The part of a closed loop system that allows it to improve and make changes
All forms of communication go through this process to be transmitted
What is encoding
These are the five forces at work in a transportation system
What are propulsion, gravity, friction, drag, and lift
This is the first step of engineering
What is Researching the need or problem
This is the name for temporary weight on structures, such as people, snow, and moving vehicles (in the case of bridges)
What is Live Load
Newspapers, Billboards, and graffiti are all examples of this
What is stored information
These are the 5 pieces of a transportation system
What are Structure, Suspension, Propulsion, Control, and Guidance
This is the final step of an engineering project
What is communicating the solution
These are the three types of bridges, in order of strength and span
MUST BE IN ORDER FOR POINTS!
What are beam bridges, arc bridges, and suspension bridges
the four parts of a closed loop system
What are The input, proccess, output, and the feedback loop
What is security, or to be more easily transmitted (for size/scale)
this is the most efficient form of transportation
What is a bicycle
This is the never-ending "final" step of the engineering process, which is why things keep improving
What is REDESIGN
These are the forces working to bring down structures (name all 4)
What are compression, tension, torsion, and shear
These are all examples of inputs (name at least 3)
What are capital, time, labor, supplies, tools, knowhow, and energy
This is THE ENTIRE COMMUNICATION PROCCESS (list them), in order!
this resource is entirely dependent on our worldwide transportation system, which allows us to defy seasons and regional constraints
What is FOOD
This is the entire engineering design proccess (in order)
Identify a need or problem, Research the problem, Design a solution, build a prototype, test and evaluate the solution, communicate the solution
BONUS 100 Points if you remember the feedback step OR redesign
These are the characteristics of materials considered when being used in construction (name all 8!)
What are Strength, Tensile Strength, Toughness, Hardness, Malleability, Ductility, Elasticity, and Fatigue Resistance
