Scenario 1

Question 1

BLANK spend a lot of their time investigating the rock and soil that structures are gonna be built on.

Answer 1

Geotechnical engineers

Question 2

Separate from friction is what’s called BLANK, or the tendency for smaller particles to stick together, like in modeling clay.

Answer 2

cohesion

Question 3

BLANK- in which loose, sandy soils lose virtually all their strength and behave like a liquid, which spells disaster for anything built on top!

Answer 3

Liquefaction

Question 4

Because the effects of an earthquake are tricky to simulate, seismic engineers often use what’s called BLANK.

Answer 4

finite element analysis

Question 5

BLANK is one of the largest disciplines of civil engineering.

Answer 5

Transportation engineering

Question 6

Instead of adding more roads, you can actually improve traffic flow by taking them away. That might seem counterintuitive, which is why it’s called BLANK.

Answer 6

Braess’ Paradox

Question 7

Two of the most common ways of doing this are BLANK or AM and FM

Answer 7

Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation,

Question 8

BLANK. In 1948, he published A Mathematical Theory of Communication, which revolutionized how engineers consider information itself, and what it takes to send information reliably.

Answer 8

Claude Shannon

Question 9

BLANKis a phenomenon in which the static pressure of the liquid reduces to below the liquid’s vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid.

Answer 9

Cavitation

Question 10

BLANK- This happens when parts of an object are made of different metals, such as having an aluminum hull and a stainless steel propeller.

Answer 10

Galvanic Corrosion

Question 11

Introducing specific equipment to address the needs of your process and then linking them together is called BLANK.

Answer 11

design synthesis

Question 12

A BLANK is a simplified, physical version of the process you want to put into practice

Answer 12

bench-scale model

Question 13

The BLANK is almost a replica of your final plant, but usually only made to handle 10-50% of its final capacity.

Answer 13

pilot-scale model

Question 14

BLANK are tasked with designing small-scale prototypes to test in real, physical environments.

Answer 14

Experimental engineers

Question 15

Because that’s really what engineering is all about – using bright ideas to tackle big challenges!
And we hope this series has put you on the path to do just that.

Answer 15

YOU ARE AN ENGINEER ULRICH!
