Mechanical EGR Flashcards
What is Mechanical Engineering
Using Math and Science to solve problems.
What is Mechanics
This is the physical world. It involves forces, motion and energy.
What categories are in mechanics
It is the study of forces and their effects. It includes Rigid body, Materials, and ThermoFluids.
Some jobs in mechanical engineering
Machines. Manufacturing. Transportation, Energy, Fluids, Robotics, Biomedical, NanoTech
Name the 7 steps in the EGR design process
1). Define Problem
2). Research Background
3). Specify Requirements “Technical constraints”
4). Generate ideas
5). Improve ideas
6). Build + test protypes
7). Communicate solution
What are the units of forces
Newtons or lbs
What is newtons 2nd law
Summation of force = m *a
