Engineering: frameworks, analysis, production (T193): section 1
-
Most T193 students have completed T192 (Engineering: origins, methods, context) before they start T193.
Please remember that T193 is a 30 credit module, which as a rule of thumb will require 300 hours of study. The module runs over 21 weeks, so approximately 14 hours per week on average.If you are considering studying this module without having completed T192, here are a selection of quiz questions, based on T192 material, which will help you get a flavour of the topics, gauge the level, test your preparation, and identify potential areas for revision prior to starting T193.
The answer revealed after completing each question directs to the specific section of the T192 printed materials where the corresponding topic is covered. A pdf version of the T192 printed materials will be available on the T193 website under resources once you enrol on T193. If you identify any topics you need to revise, you are recommended to study the appropriate sections of the T192 printed materials.
This quiz represents a self-assessment tool. You can choose to try just some of the questions.
Entering answers
For most questions, you need to enter answers that are numbers or algebraic expressions. Use the syntax below to enter your answer. Note that you may sometimes get an error message while you are entering your answer, but this will disappear once you have entered the whole answer, provided your syntax is correct.
When you enter a number, do not include any units or any description of rounding. Where a question requires an algebraic answer, the system will usually accept any algebraic expression or equation equivalent to the correct solution, unless the question specifically asks for a particular form. Note that the input is case-sensitive, so the variable ‘Y’ is different from the variable ‘y’. Remember that BIDMAS rules apply when entering expressions on a line, and you may sometimes need to use brackets to group things together.
Remember to use * to indicate multiplication.
