Chapter 1: What is Engineering? (All solved)

Engineering correct answers The use of mathematics, science, and technology to create products and systems that improve the world. Engineers correct answers Highly trained professionals who use both knowledge and skills to solve problems Engineering Design Process correct answers Specific set of steps that lead the engineer from a problem statement to a final solution Specifications correct answers The design requirements of an engineered solution Constraints correct answers Limitations of the design Optimization correct answers Process of creating the most optimal solution within the specifications and constraints Trade-off correct answers Something an engineer gives up in order to meet other specifications while staying within the constraints. Mathematical Knowledge correct answers Spending a considerable amount of time reviewing graphs, charts and data tables to either understand the problem or to determine the appropriateness of a design Scientific Knowledge correct answers Practical application of science. Engineers must have a strong understanding of science in order to apply its principles. Technical Knowledge correct answers Engineers use design technology such as computer-aided design software, drawing tools, and simulation software. Engineers require the use of technical knowledge in the form of tools. Engineering Technicians correct answers People who carry out much of the technical work of an engineer. Tradespeople correct answers Workers who build the design solutions. Mechanical Engineering correct answers Designing building, and maintaining of mechanical, thermal, and fluid systems. Systems include products such as tools and machines; engines and turbines; heating, cooling, and refrigeration systems; vehicles; and household products and devices. Materials Engineering correct answers The understanding and modification of the structure and properties of materials to improve the performance and processing of the material. Focus is on designing and testing new materials and finding new ways to use existing materials
