Are you engineers or not?

[Brucelles]

Put your money where your mouth is.

Ford Doctors Diesel Technician Society Mechanical Aptitude test.

There are 50 questions. 2 points per question. I got 92% and feel a bit embarrassed. Pass mark is 80%.

Note that the ones I got wrong were mainly terminology questions, I am not an engineer and not American, so don't know the terms.

[magneticman]

whya re you embarrassed?

[Funkstar]

92% as well

[tiggerai]

I'll have a go later... bit unfair as I'm definitely not an Automotive engineer though!

[mycarsavw]

50 questions, 10 points per question

I got 430 points - 86%

I'm also, neither an engineer or an American.

[awm]

Also 86% as an American engineer (well student). However I am an electrical engineer and I got all the electrical questions right.

Question 31 is surely very wrong. Taking the mass as an evenly distributed weight about the centre point of the mass then there is a 1:5 ratio between the forces exerted by the weights. That option is definitely not on the list though as it would be 60kg....

[Steve B]

76% i'm happy with that, as the questions were a bit gash

[monkeyville]

Jeus i got to 15 and got bored. Think that proves i'm just lazy

[Kumagoro]

hahah I got to 6 then saw it had 50 and thought bollocks to that

[Dave2986]

I dont see what most of the questions have to do with engineering TBH, basic mechanics and most of the questions are the same really

[chriswood_7]

Good little quiz this, show this to the lads at work tomorrow

I think some of you will be pleased to know I am an Automotive Engineer and I didnt get 100% LOL

Yes, I am embarrassed

I see your point on this one, but I dont think its treated as a UDL. Ambiguity every engineers nightmare

[Rave]

100%. And yes I took a screenshot, of course. Some of those pulley questions caused a lot of headscratching though.

I flunked out of my mechanical engineering course after two years.

[Brucelles]

whya re you embarrassed?

I am not an engineer, but I am the next best thing, I can fix stuff what broke. It's embarrassing that American Diesel repair men know more than I do.

[schmunk]

88% - I am an MEng though, I should pass...


(although I HATED engineering after 4 years of it.)
