Engineering Trivia Quiz - May 9, 2011

 

This Weeks Engineering Trivia Quiz

Engineers always love a challenge and there is no better challenge than General Engineering Knowledge.


Engineers have many answers to many questions.


In some instances a Trivia Quiz can be used as a lead in to business activities.  
Typically as a starter to meetings, in order to "break the ice" and get some lateral thinking or maybe to start a brainstorming session.  It can start the thinking process and get people to look "outside of the square". 

Complimentary to, and also an excellent way to develop and stimulate the thought process is to use creativity exercises such as those found on sites such as as  http://creativitygames.net/   


If you are organising a  trivia competition, feel free to use any of the engcom questions and please give us a mention.  Maybe your company has an internal (or external) news letter.  We don't own the knowledge, but an acknowledgement would be appreciated

The Original Hybrid Car ?

 

The Original Hybrid Car ?    Well maybe

Engineering is a fascinating subject and Mechanical Engineering in particular never ceases to amaze.


Many concepts have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years and we keep developing and reworking them to make them relevant to the 21st century.  Most people are familiar with  numerous elements of Engineering design which have been used through the ages, whether it is the Romans road designs, aqueducts, building pyramids or the steam engine.
The attached article, “Lohner Semper Vivus review” again demonstrates that “new technology” may in fact not be that new.  I could wax lyrically about the genius which was Ferdinand Porsche but think this article is a much more fitting tribute.

Design Centre for Composite Engineering Simulation

 
Composite SimulationImprovements in CAD technology have brought about the ability to create real world simulation in lieu of costly prototype manufacturing and field testing.  Whilst this technology is now readily available,  it can be cost prohibitive for many small to medium designers who are unable to justify the cost for software and skilled technical operators.

Engineers who work in the field of composites and advanced materials can now utilise The National Composites Center near Dayton Ohio.
The NCC offers structural design, optimization, and manufacturing simulation services to business in the Composites Manufacturing Industry.

This Weeks Engineering Trivia Quiz Questions

Engineers always love a challenge and there is no better challenge than General Engineering Knowledge.


It's often difficult for a single individual to have  the spread of knowledge to answer all of the questions, but a group of Engineers often do in fact have many of the answers tucked away in the dark recesses of their brains.

Many times an answer is a combination of knowledge from different people.
 One person starts the ball rolling and others piggy back from that start
