Biomedical & Mechanical Engineering
This device is used to monitor and regulate heart rhythms.
What is a pacemaker?
The sum of internal energy and pressure-volume work.
This circuit component has asymmetrical conductance, allowing it to conduct electricity in one direction only.
What is a diode?

What is water vapor?
The object that is the offical badge of Tau Beta Pi
The failure of materials under repeated loading is known by this term.
What is fatigue?
Distillation columns separate compounds based on this property.
What is boiling point? (vapor pressure is also acceptable)
What term for an unintentional coding error originates from a moth that got stuck in a computer at Harvard University?
What is a bug?
The three most basic components of concrete
What are Cement, water, and aggregates?
The number of Tau Beta Pi chapters in the state of Delaware
What is one?
This metal is used in most medical implants because of its durability and biocompatibility.
What is titanium?
The dimensionless quantity that is the ratio of inertial to viscous forces in a fluid.
What is the Reynold's number?
The doubling of transistor density on integrated circuits approximately every two years.
What is Moore's Law?
The world's tallest free-standing structure is found in this Asian country.
What is the United Arab Emirates?
What is Lehigh University?
The mechanical device that stores rotational energy using conservation of angular momentum.
What is a flywheel?
This plot is used to compare the volume of a continuous stirred tank reacor with a plug flow reactor.
What is a Levenspiel plot?
This mathematical transform is used to decompose a complex-valued function into its consitutient frequencies.
What is the Fourier transform?
In construction, the term for a structure supported only on one end.

What is 3,000? (exact count is 2,807)
The law that states that the stress in a material is proportional to the strain within the elastic limit
What is Hooke's Law?
This thermodynamic principle relates the concentration of a dissolved gas to its partial pressure.
What is Henry's Law?
In a flip-flop circuit, this component serves to synchronize state changes.
What is the clock signal?
In railroad engineering, the layer of soil or rock that provides support for the railroad track and the ballast.
What is the subgrade?
He was the first student member of the Tau Beta Pi association.
