To do well on a test:
- Come prepared (be there early, with pencil and calculator.
- Skim through entire test before starting
- Do the easy problems first
- keep track of the time
- Go for partial credit - don't leave anything blank - if you know it's wrong, explain that you know it is wrong, and write down your thinking process.
- Show all of your work.
- Don't erase your work - just put a single line through it (you might get more partial credit)
- Check over your answers, and re-check them. Don't leave early.
Warning: To prevent cheating, each test will be slightly different, so don't copy what your neighbor is doing!

Mathematica -
http://intro1201.blogspot.com/2015/03/computer-tools-for-engrs.html
How to input data:
Function[square bracket, arguments separated with commas]Plus[2,2] = 2+2
Mean[{30, 34, 29, 15}]
Solve:
use "==" - two equal symbols
{{x-2}, {x-3}}
Solve[x^2+x+1==0, x]//N
//N - gives answer in numerical form
{{x-.5-.86i},{x-.5+.86i}}
Solve[a*x^2 + b*x + c==0, x]
x = quadratic formula
Solve system of equations - use {}
Solve[{3 x + 2 y ==15, 3*x - 3*y == 12}, {x, y}]//N
What can you do if there is no analytic solution? (If Solve does not work?)
Graphing:
ListLinePlot[{{1,2}, {3, 4}, {5,3}}]
Plot[Sin[x]/x , {x, -9.4, 9.4}]
Plot3D[Sin[x*y], {x, -Sqrt[3*Pi], Sqrt[3*Pi]}, {y, -Sqrt[3*Pi], Sqrt[3*Pi]}]
*** Mathematica "help" resources -
help - documentation center- 10,000 pages of info on all the functions and examples and tutorials on how to use them

8 main parts of a computer
http://intro1201.blogspot.com/2015/03/wear-top-10-excel-shortcuts-httpwww.html
If I give you picts of the parts in a computer, can you tell me what it is, and what it does?
Case, motherboard, CPU, vid card, memory, power supply, hard drive, optical drive
Transistors - Can you describe what they are, how they work, and create a truth table for AND, NOR, NOT gates?http://intro1201.blogspot.com/2016/10/transistors.html

Engineering Ethics -
http://intro1201.blogspot.com/2015/04/engineering-ethics.html
Can you name an engineering disaster, and briefly discuss:
- What happened
- Why it happened
- How it could have been prevented
Knowing "there can never be enough rules to anticipate and cover every situation, and even if there were, enforcement would be impossibly expensive and burdensome."
What is needed to uphold and maintain ethical practices?
Engineer’s Obligation to Society, to their employer, to clients, and to other engineers:
- only approve designs that safeguard life, health, welfare, and property of the public
- if an engineer’s professional judgment is overruled resulting in a safety concern, it is their responsibility to notify employers, clients, authority figures, the public, and all involved.
- Engineers should be objective, truthful, and unbiased.
- Engineers should not express opinions in areas they are not qualified in,
- Engineers should not associate with anyone or anything that is unethical

Dynamics
http://intro1201.blogspot.com/2015/03/dynamics.html
A car drives for one hour at 60 miles/hour. How far has it gone?
change in position = (average velocity)* (change in time) = (60 miles/hours)*(1 hour) = 60 miles.
Think about the graphs & how they relate to one another.
position vs. time graph → velocity = slope = ds/dt = change in position / change in time
Velocity vs. time graph →position = vel * time = (mph*hours = miles) = area under curve
Velocity vs. time graph → acceleration = dV/dt = change in velocity / change in time = slope of V-t line
Acceleration vs. time graph → adt = dv (a = dv/dt), area under acceleration curve = change in velocity.
Given a position vs. time graph - can you sketch the shape of a velocity graph?
Given a velocity vs. time graph - could you sketch a position and acceleration graph?
Given an acceleration graph - can you sketch x(t) and v(t)?
Examples:
1.
3.
If there are errors in your position vs. time data, what kinds of errors will you have in your velocity and acceleration data? How do you fix these errors?
Ans: Don't look until you try it on your own!
Running Man simulation - practice X,V,a!
Turn all but one of the graphs off (click the "+" next to it), try to predict it, then turn the graphs back on to check your answer! Drag the arrows next to velocity and acceleration, or just grab the running man and pull him around.

Meyer's and Macros:
What is your Meyer's personality type? what is the Meyer's personality type of someone in your team? Why is it important to know someone's personality type?

What are the two different ways of creating a Macro in excel?
