Structural Engineering
This type of bridge utilizes a deck hung below cables
Suspension Bridge
What is the definition of voltage?
the force of electricity flowing through a wire
Biomedical, Civil, Mechanical, Structural, Electrical, Software, Bio, Chemical, etc.
Who invented the first incandescent lightbulb?
Thomas Edison
What color was the stuffed puppy on Monday?
Green
This type of bridge is characterized by an assembly of triangles in its load-bearing structure
Truss bridge
What is electricity comprised of?
Electrons
What is electrical engineering?
the study of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism
Minecraft is an example of what engineering?
Software engineering
Define Gravity
the force that one object exerts on another in a pulling motion. (i.e. Earth on you)
The simplest form of bridge design that consists of a horizontal structure supported at each end by piers.
Beam bridge
What is resistance?
the force that counteracts the flow of electricity
What is structural engineering?
the branch of civil engineering that deals with large modern buildings and similar structures.
What was the Ferris Wheel originally made to do?
To be a fun tourist attraction that could be the American rival counterpart to the Eiffel Tower
Why is it important not to touch an active closed battery powered circuit?
Because there is live electricity flowing through it and it can shock you! (This is why you wear gloves if you absolutely have to handle live wires)
Why is it good to make a smaller design version of a massive building before actually constructing the building?
So you can test the model against forces and check to see how structurally stable the structure inherently is. (Answers may vary)
What is the unit of measurement for electrical flow through a wire?
Amps
Why is teamwork sometimes a good thing in engineering?
It promotes efficiency, collaboration, builds life skills, and innovation
What's the tallest Ferris Wheel in the world?
The Eye of Dubai, UAE
What year did Thomas Edison build the first incandescent lightbulb?
1879
What's the point of making the rods out of metal instead out of like rubber or plastic that connect the center of the Ferris wheel to the circumference?
Metal is durable and strong so it can withstand the forces exerted by the Ferris wheel's rotation and the cabin weight without deforming or breaking (Answers very)
What's a filament in a lightbulb?
This is a very thin wire, usually made of a hard-to-melt metal or a plastic. When electricity flows through the filament, it heats up and starts to glow.
What is the Engineering Design Process?
This law states the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.
Ohm's Law
What is the property of a material to resist deformation?
Stiffness/rigidity (both acceptable)
