1.An engineer designs a system in a car: As the car engine 2 static pressure
starts, the fuel turns to heat, and the heat is absorbed into
the car to provide an additional source of energy. 3 actuator

2.An engineer designs a system on the exterior of an 1 transformation
aircraft that senses the force of the atmosphere at the
aircraft's current altitude.

3.An engineer designs a screw that can introduce or
prevent motion in his newest design: A helicopter that can
become airborne in less than 10 seconds.

actuator is moving too fast, forcing the engineer to make
adjustments 3 stationary fluid system

2.An engineer is adjusting his design for a pool's filtration 1 flow rate
system.

3.An engineer is redesigning a fluid pump at a gas station
so that there is no leakage while the pump is at rest.

like oil and natural gas while decreasing the risk of
damage to the environment. 1 working as a petroleum engineer

2.After watching news footage of oil spills in the Gulf of 3 working with the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP)
Mexico, Bill decides to learn more about jobs designing
products that can help clean up the environment after
petroleum spills.

3.Deanna is partnering with a team to increase efficiency
in current fluid power applications. She is hoping to
decrease the amount of energy lost with most hydraulic
power systems by redesigning the existing hydraulic
systems in construction vehicles.
