Introduction to Engineering

A person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.

Engineers are designers, decision-makers, innovators, and team leaders.

Engineer is superior to engineering technologists.

Engineers are more qualified than engineering technologists.

Engineers use problem-solving, decision-making, and innovation skills.

Professionals who assist engineers in design, development, and testing of engineering projects.

Different areas of study in engineering.

Study of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Deals with machines, mechanics, and their applications.

Engineers improve public safety and reduce operating/maintenance costs.

New creations that aim to simplify common tasks or solve everyday problems.

Items designed to make daily life more convenient and efficient.

The positive impact that something has on a group of people.

The well-being and prosperity of people in a community.

Items that provide practical value and solve real-world problems.

The invention and refinement of gunpowder occurred during the period from A.D. 1 to 1000.

The silk and glass industries continued to experience growth between A.D. 1000 and 1400.

A type of fiber made from wood pulp, cotton linters, or other plant materials.

Fibers created by chemically processing natural cellulose, primarily from plants, into a new form.

Rayon is derived from wood pulp, cotton linters, or other vegetable matter.

Rayon is used in various types of clothing, industrial textiles, and household items.

Rayon exhibits good moisture absorption and is generally comfortable to wear.

Symbols representing powers of 10 used to scale units, making numbers easier to write and read.

The largest SI prefix, representing 10²⁴, a number with 25 digits.

Represents 10⁻²¹, incredibly small, a decimal with 21 zeros after the decimal point.

Units formed by combining base SI units, expressing various physical quantities.

A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, expressed in Pascals per second.

The turning effect of a force, measured in Newton meters.

The force per unit length acting along the surface of a liquid, measured in Newtons per meter.

The rate of change of an object's angle, measured in radians per second.

Tiny lattice parts in the tissues of plants, animals, or any substance.

The amount of heat energy flowing per unit area per unit time, measured in Watts per square meter.

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Kelvin, measured in Joules per Kelvin.

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree Kelvin, measured in Joules per kilogram Kelvin.

The force experienced by a unit charge placed in an electric field, measured in Volts per meter.

The amount of electric charge per unit volume, measured in Coulombs per cubic meter.

A measure of a material's ability to support the formation of a magnetic field, measured in Henrys per meter.
