UMBC NSBE facts
This the president of our current chapter and has served on the E-board for the past 3 years.
Who is Caly Ferguson?
This engineer and mathematician is one of the “Hidden Figures,” and she helped calculate the flight paths for NASA
Who is Katherine Johnson?
This easy to learn programming language is used for web development, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. It is also used in our CMSC201 class at UMBC
What is Python
How many meters are in one kilometer?
What is 1,000 meters?
This branch often takes “Statics,” “Dynamics,” and “Mechanics of Materials.”
What is Mechanical Engineering?
This is the name of the convention center that the NSBE National Convention is going to take place in
What is the Baltimore Convention Center?
This aerospace engineer became the first African American woman in space in 1992.
Who is Dr. Mae Jemison?
This software is widely used amongst almost all engineers. It is primarily used for numerical computing, simulations, and data visualization
What is MATLAB?
What is the basic equation relating voltage, current, and resistance?
What is Ohm’s Law (V = I R)?
This type of engineer models chemical reactions in reactors to maximize product yield.
What is Nuclear/Chemical Engineering?
In this type of NSBE event, participants relax, intermingle, and take turns playing songs to see who has the best playlist.
What is the NSBE Aux Battle?
This famous invention by Dr. Lonnie Johnson was originally made from an accident by working working from a heat pump at home, is now the best selling-toy in the world
What is the super soaker?
This cloud-based software is commonly used to design 3D models of mechanical parts and assemblies.
What is Onshape?
A block slides at constant speed across a surface. What must be true about the net force on it?
What is zero?
You create a CFD simulation of airflow over a hypersonic vehicle at Mach 5.
What is Aerospace Engineering?
This is the name of our NSBE Jr. chapter that we volunteer at every other Saturday
What is NGLA (Next Generation Leadership Academy)?
Rising over 2,700 feet tall, this skyscraper holds the record as the tallest man-made structure in the world.
What is the Burj Khalifa?
This software tool allows users to simulate electronic circuits before building them physically.
What is Multisim.
This principle states that the governing equations of physics must be dimensionally consistent
What is dimensional analysis?
This branch studies the properties, processing, and applications of metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites to design materials with specific mechanical, thermal, or electrical performance
What is Materials Engineering
This university graduates more Black students who go on to earn doctorates in natural sciences and engineering than any other U.S. college
What is the University of Maryland, Baltimore County?
Opened in 1994, this underwater tunnel connects England and France, allowing trains to travel beneath the English Channel.
What is the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel)?
This software is used to perform finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and other complex engineering simulations.
What is ANSYS?
The Gibbs free energy change at constant temperature and pressure predicts this about a chemical reaction
What is spontaneity?
This branch focuses on designing, analyzing, and optimizing systems that integrate people, machines, materials, and information to improve efficiency, productivity, and quality.
What is Industrial Engineering?
