General Math
This international system of units (SI) is used globally for engineering measurements.
What is the metric system?
This property describes how resistant a material is to changing shape when a force is applied.
What is stiffness?
This term describes a material that returns to its original shape after being deformed.
What is elasticity?
This type of imaging technology uses strong magnets and radio waves to view soft tissues.
What is MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)?
This component allows current to flow in only one direction and is key to converting AC to DC.
What is a diode?
This scientist and engineer is famous for the formula F=ma, which is fundamental to mechanics.
Who is Isaac Newton?
The term for rotational analog of force is this, calculated as force times radius.
What is torque?
This thermal property determines how well a material can conduct heat.
What is thermal conductivity?
What material type is often used in biodegradable sutures?
What are polymers?
This fundamental logic gate only returns true when both inputs are true.
What is an AND gate?
This famous feat of mechanical engineering was completed in 1889 and became a global symbol of innovation.
What is the Eiffel Tower?
These mechanical devices are often used in robots to produce motion, converting energy into mechanical force.
What are actuators?
This lightweight, strong material is made of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice.
What is graphene?
This technique produces 3D images of the brain using radioactive tracers to measure metabolic activity.
What is PET (Positron Emission Tomography)?
This storage type loses data when power is turned off.
What is RAM (Random Access Memory)?
The derivative of e2x?
What is 2e2x?
This type of analysis, often computational, is used to determine how stress and strain are distributed in solid structures
What is finite element analysis (FEA)?
This mechanical property measures a material’s resistance to permanent shape change under stress.
What is yield strength?
These lab-grown, 3D tissue structures are used to model organ function for drug testing.
What are organoids?
This law states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field, forming the basis of transformer operation.
What is Faraday’s Law of Induction?
This vector operation, used in physics and engineering, produces a vector perpendicular to two given vectors in three-dimensional space.
What is the cross product?
This term describes a rotating object’s resistance to change in its angular velocity.
What is moment of inertia?
This test determines the hardness of materials by pressing a small indenter into the surface.
What is the Vickers, Brinell, or Rockwell hardness test?
This technology allowed for the development of the COVID vaccine.
This coding language is most often used for embedded systems and microcontrollers.
What is C or C++?
