FormatEGR 120 Introduction to Engineering File: N120RT1 Test #1 Review Related Material: Homework Assignments 1 – 4 Chapters 1, 2, 5, 10, and 11 in Thinking Like An Engineering – An Active Learning Approach by Stephan. Related class notes (see PowerPoint presentations) Format Several formats will probably be included, including multiple-choice, True/False, Fill-in-the-blank, calculations, and discussions. Items Provided: A copy of the NSPE Code of Ethics will be provided with the test. A copy of the conversion table from the inside front cover of the text will be provided (not the SI prefixes). Attached. Topics: This general list of topics is not meant to exclude any information covered in class. The Engineering Profession Engineering disciplines Specialization versus generalization in choosing a degree Advanced degrees Benefits Steps in getting MS or Ph.D. degrees in Engineering MBA or Engineering Management degrees The "Technical Team" concept ABET Accreditation Engineering Societies – 6 key functions Licensing as an engineer The licensing process – 4 steps Why become licensed? Benefits of licensing Exam information Length of exams Number of problems, format Administered how often? 7 specialty areas for FE exam (areas for Principles & Practices exam not needed) Study materials Etc (continued)Engineering Ethics Case studies - discuss how to handle situations involving ethical decisions, including references from the NSPE Code of Ethics. Short answer questions (T/F, Multiple Choice, Fill in the blank) on basic ethics issues and on the NSPE Code of Ethics. Engineering Data Significant digits Rules & calculations Implied precision Relationship to percent error Systems of units Table of SI Base Units – memorize this table (dimensions and units, not definitions) Table of SI Prefixes – memorize this table (10+18 to 10-18) Calculations using prefixes Rules for prefixes and units Derived units - built on the base units Know average acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2 ) F = ma (Newton’s 2nd Law of Physics) W = mg (use g = 9.81 m/s2 or g = 32.2 ft/s2 unless otherwise specified) US Base Units (lb, ft, s) Mass versus force Slugs, lbf, and lbm Conversions between units – calculators are allowed, but you will still be asked to use dimension analysis. You can check the results with calculator conversions if you wish. Dimensional analysisUnit Conversion Table Conversions from inside front cover of Thinking Like An Engineering – An Active Learning Approach by Stephan. A few additional conversion factors have been added. The conversion table for Temperature has been removed as it is misleading.
