Engineering
The type of engineer who designs circuits and electronics.
What is electrical engineering?
The area of a circle is π times this measurement squared.
What is the radius?
The most common unit of force.
What is a Newton?
The smallest unit of an element that retains its properties.
What is an atom?
This type of loop continues as long as its condition remains true.
What is a while loop?
This type of diagram shows how the parts of a system are connected.
What is a block diagram?
The value of sin(90°).
What is 1?
This fundamental constant is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.
What is the speed of light?
The pH of a neutral solution at 25°C.
What is 7?
A structure that holds multiple values of the same type in a single variable name.
What is an array?
The process of finding the best solution that balances multiple constraints, such as cost, schedule, and performance.
What is optimization?
If f′(x) > 0 on an interval, then f(x) is doing this over that interval.
What is increasing?
If you mix all colors of light, what color do you get?
What is white?
This type of chemical bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
In object-oriented programming, this principle allows different classes to share methods from a parent class.
What is inheritance?
This lifecycle phase includes verification and validation activities to ensure the design meets requirements.
What is testing/evaluation?
In statistics, this type of error occurs when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected.
What is a Type I error?
Energy possessed due to motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This type of reaction occurs in one step without intermediates, with the rate directly proportional to the concentration of a single reactant.
What is a first-order reaction?
Big-O notation describes this characteristic of an algorithm.
What is time (or space) complexity?
This technique analyzes how failures in components could affect the performance of an entire system and assigns a risk priority number.
What is FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis)?
This theorem guarantees that if a function is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), then there exists a point where the instantaneous rate of change equals the average rate of change.
What is the Mean Value Theorem?
This principle states that the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external torque acts on it.
What is the conservation of angular momentum?
This thermodynamic quantity predicts whether a reaction will occur under constant temperature and pressure.
What is Gibbs free energy / ΔG?
This sorting algorithm selects the smallest element and swaps it with the element in the first position, repeating through the list.
What is selection sort?
