Engineering Notebook
How do you fix an error in your engineering notebook?
Cross it out, write your initials, and write the correct word.
What type of engineering involves the design of launch facilities, transit systems, and bridges?
Civil and Construction Engineering
What things do you need to know when defining the problem?
Criteria and Constraints
What is a Solid Model?
Show how an objects surfaces will appear.
It will have Volume.
What is resistance?
The opposition of current flow.
Which writing utensil SHOULD be used in your engineering notebook?
Which engineers deal with the motion of electrons in metals?
Electronics Engineering
What is the first step in the design process?
Define the problem
What is a wireframe model?
It does not give the viewer an idea of surface appearance.
What is Voltage?
The pressure that causes the current to flow.
Why is an engineering notebook important for legal purposes?
To obtain a patent.
Which engineers deal with environments NOT found on Earth?
Aerospace and Astronautical Engineering
What should be incorporated in technical drawings?
Pictorial Drawings
What is the Additive method?
your adding blocks/section of the piece as you go and you will get the result.
What is a parallel circuit?
A more than one path for the current to flow.
What are the three categories in the Table of Contents of your engineering notebook?
The Date, Page #, and Page title
Which field of engineering involves the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, and energy to produce a product at the lowest cost possible?
Industrial Engineering
What do you accomplish when you develop a solution?
your subtracting different parts to get your result or what your looking for.
What happens when you increase the voltage?
The current flow goes faster.
What should be written in your engineering notebook?
A description of your design process.
Which engineers are responsible for new and improved fuels in rockets, vaccines, and plastics?
Chemical Engineering
What is a decision matrix?
A tool used to compare design solutions against one another using specific criteria.
What is the cube on the right hand side of the computer with the labels Front, Right, Left, Bottom, and Back?
The View cube because it lets you see the sides of all our parts.
What happens when you increase the resistance?
The current slows down. When increasing the resistance your increasing the light bulbs resistance making it dimmer.
