ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING REVIEWED QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS .5
Electrical Engineering - correct answer the study and application of electricity, electronics, and
electromagnetism
Electrical vs. Electronic Engineering - correct answer Electronic is subdivision of electrical and
deals w/ circuits
Eight main subdivisions of Electrical Engineering - correct answer
Electronics
Power Engineering
Telecommunications
Control Systems
Radio Frequency Engineering
Signal Processing
Instrumentation
Microelectronics
Power Engineering - correct answer Focused on the generation, transmission, and distribution
of electricity
Products power engineers are involved with - correct answer
Transformers
Electric generators
Electric motors
Power electronics
Cutting edge in power engineering - correct answer cutting edge is satellite controlled power
systems w/ feedback in real-time to prevent power surges and blackouts
Electronic Engineer - correct answer Designs and tests electronic circuits that use properties of
components
All the best
, projects affiliated with electronic engineer - correct answer
Resistors
capacitors
inductors
diodes
transistors
Before WWII electronic engineering was called... - correct answer Radio Engineering
After WWII Electrical engine. started to focus on... - correct answer Integrated circuits and
transistors; computers and powerful electronics
What made the difference between pre-WWII and post WWII in electrical? - correct answer
The transistor
Control Engineering - correct answer The design of controllers that will cause a system to
behave in a desired manner
Products control engineers work on: - correct answer industrial automation
cruise control
flight & propulsion system
Feedback - correct answer A mechanism used by control engineers to confirm that the control
is working as desired. Important because a control that is not working may cause damage
Closed loop - correct answer uses sensors and uses feedback
ex: cruise control in a car
Open loop - correct answer does not use feedback
