Unit 302 Engineering Principles Quiz

What is the definition of engineering principles?

• Principles of gardening

• Advanced mathematics principles

• Fundamental concepts and guidelines that govern the practice of engineering

• Basic cooking techniques

Explain the concept of force in engineering.

• Force is the push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion or shape.

• Force is the smell of an object

• Force is the taste of an object

• Force is the color of an object

What are the different types of engineering materials?

• Wood, Glass, Plastic, Concrete

• Animals, Plants, Rocks, Water

• Paper, Fabric, Rubber, Leather

• Metals, Polymers, Ceramics, Composites

Discuss the importance of safety in engineering principles.

• Safety in engineering principles is not important as accidents are rare

• Safety in engineering principles is only important for protecting the environment

• Safety in engineering principles is only important for saving money on insurance

• Safety in engineering principles is important to prevent accidents and protect workers.

Explain the concept of stress and strain in engineering.

• Stress is the force applied to a material, while strain is the resulting change in electrical conductivity.

• Stress is the force applied to a material, while strain is the resulting deformation or change in shape.

• Stress is the force applied to a material, while strain is the resulting increase in temperature.

• Stress is the force applied to a material, while strain is the resulting color change in the material.

What are the different types of loads in engineering?

• Stress loads, strain loads, deformation loads

• Heavy loads, light loads, medium loads

• Dead loads, live loads, dynamic loads, static loads, and impact loads

• Vertical loads, horizontal loads, diagonal loads

Discuss the role of engineering principles in design and construction.

• Design and construction can be done without considering engineering principles

• Engineering principles guide the design and construction process to ensure safety, efficiency, and functionality.

• Engineering principles have no impact on design and construction

• Engineering principles only focus on aesthetics and not safety or efficiency

Explain the concept of equilibrium in engineering.

• A state where all the forces and moments acting on a body are constantly changing

• A state where all the forces and moments acting on a body are irrelevant

• A state where all the forces and moments acting on a body are unbalanced

• A state where all the forces and moments acting on a body are balanced

What are the different types of forces acting on structures?

• Compression, tension, shear, bending, and torsion

• Friction, gravity, magnetism, electricity, and radiation

• Acceleration, deceleration, momentum, velocity, and speed

• Expansion, contraction, rotation, vibration, and deflection

Discuss the concept of sustainability in engineering principles.

• Implementing systems that promote short-term viability

• Maximizing negative environmental impact and depleting resources

• Designing and implementing systems and processes that minimize negative environmental impact, conserve resources, and promote long-term viability.

• Designing processes that have no consideration for environmental impact
