General Engineering Introduction/Design/quiz

{What is not part of the definition of engineering design? - art + technology - science - business
 * type=""}

{Which below is not a "made object?" - computer mouse - chess piece - node + tree
 * type=""}

{Which below is not an engineering "artifact?" - Unit Operation - Free Body Diagram - Control Volume + Ancient Indian arrow head
 * type=""}

{Engineering Design starts with: - Learning an acronynm such as Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate (CDIO) + Identifying common design concepts/artifacts within a variety of problems and/or unique objects. - Taking Art Classes to identify patterns. - Chopping unique made objects into pieces.
 * type=""}

{Which artifact deals with piston design? - free body diagram + control volume - unit operation - nodes - clouds
 * type=""}

{Which artifact deals with the forces causing a car to move: + free body diagram - control volume - unit operation - nodes - clouds
 * type=""}

{Which artifact deals with powertrain control module (PCM) - free body diagram - control volume - unit operation - nodes + clouds
 * type=""}

{Which artifact deals with wiring harnesses? - free body diagram - control volume - unit operation + nodes - clouds
 * type=""}

{Complexity Intimidation is best dealt with by: + forward engineering ... starting over and creating your own design then comparing with other engineers' work - giving up listening and reading the text book instead - acknowledging how brilliant others are and trying to climb into their heads - reverse engineering .. starting at the answer and working backwards
 * type=""}

{The best way to create artifacts is to: + focus on a small piece of the problem - focus on a small piece of the made, unique object - describe what where when and how - concentrate on the overwhelmed feeling for inspiration
 * type=""}

{Hiding complexity works when: - Inside the circle is something simple - Outside the circle is something simple + Something simple crosses the circle boundary - Everything can be circled
 * type=""}

{Unique items are: + Always engineered - Emerge only after the idea has been identified - Sold at Walmart - Science concepts like temperature
 * type=""}

{The slogan "Engineers work themselves out of a job" means: - Engineers change jobs frequently + Engineers change projects frequently - Successful engineers become technologists - Nothing because most engineers don't find ideals
 * type=""}

{What is wrong with "Form follows function?" + There are unlimited number of forms/artifacts - Engineers start with a problem ... which is a desired function. - Function can be deduced from form (reverse engineering). - Greek civilization doesn't have a world-wide influence.
 * type=""}

{What is useful to engineers in the Jungian Archetype? - Dreams that rehash the day help engineering. - The collective fears/opinion/preferences should guide all engineers. - Day time logic is usually flawed. + Forms without function emerge in certain types of dreams.
 * type=""}

{Emergence is interesting to an engineer because: - It is a religious philosophy - It describes artifact origins + It is another source of artifact inspiration - It explains why engineers have jobs
 * type=""}

{Why is drawing by hand still important? - The software concepts and physical hand drawing concepts and language are still the same. + Drawings, even poor stick figures still inspire, still start conversations. - Charts and communicating detail is still important. - All engineers need to learn a CAD program.
 * type=""}

{What is the life cycle of expertise? + An engineer is a temporary expert because of doing it first and perhaps growing it, but Technologists are the permanent experts. - Scientists create the expertise and grow it. - Engineers create the expertise and grow it. - Technologists grow the expertise.
 * type=""}

{The phrase "Engineering Art and Practice" refers to: - The "Craft" and "Guild" origins of engineering in England. - Where in the continuum between science and technology engineering resides. + How much hands on experience a beginning engineer needs before transitioning to design. - The way engineering was taught before the 1950s, before WWII, before "science engineering" was emphasized.
 * type=""}

{The phrase "Engineering Art and Practice" has negative connotations associated with it because: - Most "Art and Practice" engineers were expert technologists, not innovators. - During WWII the military preferred to work with scientists, not "Art and Practice" engineers to get things done. - The military never knew whether to expect leadership, innovation, or predictable technology implementation from an engineer. + Engineers did not want to continuously improve a made object. They were rigid rule followers.
 * type=""}

{CDIO (conceive, design, implement and manage) is: - A formal, sequential process that can be summarized in a block diagram. + Is a cabinet of ingredients that can be mixed together to create a design process for a unique project. - Specifies when engineers hand off ownership in the form of drawings, software, data to another engineer without words. - Becoming part of the management training of all engineers.
 * type=""}

{Which majors are easy to switch from into engineering? + Applied physics, applied math - Premed - Prelaw - Science and Math
 * type=""}

{How can a technologist become and engineer? - They can't. - They don't need to, they are already an engineer. + Go to grad school and get an engineering masters degree. - Take some calculus classes.
 * type=""}

{Which majors can an engineer switch to? + All majors - Science - Math - Lawyer
