Engineering (IED/AE) Cumulative Final

The first step in the Engineering Design Process is to brainstorm solutions.

The path an object takes around another in space due to gravity is called its:

Lift is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft's forward motion.

A technical drawing that shows an object as if it were cut open to reveal internal features is called a: 

Which of the following is NOT a primary step in the Engineering Design Process?

Constraints in a design brief are optional guidelines for the project.

Bernoulli's Principle states that as the speed of a fluid (like air) increases, its pressure decreases.

What type of 3D modeling involves creating solid geometric forms by adding or subtracting material?

Which of the following is a key consideration in selecting materials for aerospace applications?

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) is how rockets generates thrust.

Aerospace engineers primarily focus on the design of ground transportation vehicles.

The control surface on an aircraft's wing that controls roll is the: 

Escape velocity is the speed required for an object to: 

The measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a sorted dataset is the:

Reverse engineering involves disassembling and analyzing a product to understand how it works, often to improve upon it.

Which of the following best describes "aerodynamics"? 

The four fundamental forces acting on an aircraft in flight are:

In orbital mechanics, a satellite in a geostationary orbit (GEO) remains stationary relative to an observer on Earth.

Drag is the aerodynamic force that acts PERPENDICULAR to the direction of flight.

The shape of an airfoil is primarily designed to: 

Which type of aircraft propulsion system is most commonly used for high-speed commercial airplanes?

Rocket engines require atmospheric oxygen to operate, making them unsuitable for space.

A decision matrix is a tool used to systematically evaluate design concepts against a set of criteria.

Ethical considerations are not a significant part of the engineering design process.

An engineer's notebook is primarily used for:

What does "CAD" stand for in engineering? 

The fuselage is the primary lift-generating surface of an airplane.

CAD software is primarily used for creating 2D sketches and cannot produce 3D models.

An isometric sketch shows an object from a single, flat perspective.

Which of the following is an example of an aerospace structure?
