EDP(03/07/25): Engineering Design and Presentation

Explain the main responsibilities of a civil engineer when working on a city project.

• Designing and overseeing infrastructure construction

• Programming software for smart buildings

• Managing electrical power distribution

• Developing new mechanical tools

Explain why structural analysis is crucial before repairing a bridge with cracks.

• It determines the best aesthetic design for the bridge

• It helps engineers understand the cause of the issue and find the best solution

• It ensures the bridge is environmentally friendly

• It reduces maintenance costs

Explain how a mechanical engineer could improve the fuel efficiency of a car engine.

• By increasing fuel consumption

• By optimizing engine design to reduce energy waste

• By making the car heavier

• By removing the cooling system

Explain the role of electrical engineers in preventing citywide power outages.

• They work to upgrade infrastructure and optimize power distribution

• They repair software bugs in electric appliances

• They construct roads to make power delivery easier

• They focus on improving mobile communication signals

Explain what a software engineer should prioritize when developing a hospital’s patient database system.

• The system should have high processing speed but limited security

• It should be easy to hack for quick data retrieval

• The system should be secure and efficient for authorized users

• It should focus only on storing large amounts of data without optimization

Describe how civil engineers contribute to city planning.

• They design and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, and buildings

• They focus on creating software for public transportation

• They work on improving electrical connections in residential areas

• They manufacture new vehicles for city transport

Describe the impact of inefficient power distribution on a city's electrical system.

• It can cause frequent power outages and reduced energy efficiency

• It only affects the transportation system

• It leads to an increase in internet speed

• It has no significant effect on infrastructure

Describe an example of how mechanical engineers improve industrial efficiency.

• By designing heating and cooling systems to optimize energy use

• By programming new video games

• By constructing new roads

• By analyzing financial market trends

Describe a scenario where software engineers would be critical in an engineering project.

• Developing software for traffic management systems

• Designing engines for race cars

• Constructing bridges

• Installing electrical wiring in buildings

Describe the relationship between optimization and mechanical engineering.

• A) Mechanical engineers optimize systems to improve efficiency and reduce waste

• B) Mechanical engineers focus only on building new systems without improving them

• C) Optimization is not relevant in mechanical engineering

• D) Optimization only applies to software engineering
