ENGINEERING BTEC LEVEL 2 UNIT 1
PRACTICE EXAMINATION 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the
Natural World.
Answer: This crosscutting concept is explored throughout the unit, showing
how people's needs and wants change over time and how engineers improve
existing technologies or develop new ones in response.
◍ Fair Test.
Answer: A test in which variables are controlled and only one factor is
changed at a time across multiple trials to ensure comparable results
◍ frequency.
Answer: 1/time period
◍ radians to degrees.
Answer: π/180
◍ hydrostatic thrust on an immersed plane surface.
Answer: pgAx
◍ Products using made forging?.
Answer: Shoehorse, hammers
◍ Which of these things are examples of technology?.
Answer: hand tools
◍ shear strain.
Answer: a/b
◍ Designer.
Answer: A person who designs any of a variety of things. This usually
, implies the task of creating drawings or in some ways uses visual cues to
organize his or her work.
◍ reluctance.
Answer: F/Q^m
◍ What is one off producion?.
Answer: Involves designing and making a single product such as a wedding
ring a designer suit or an individual chair. Typically, one off production
involves highly skilled workers who undertake a broad range of tasks using
generalised tools and equipment.
◍ Root Mean Square Voltage.
Answer: peak voltage/√2
◍ criteria.
Answer: For engineers, the specifications and requirements design solutions
must meet. Criteria are part of identifying and defining a problem, the first
stage of the engineering design cycle.
◍ Constraint.
Answer: An absolute limit on possible solutions
◍ What is TIG Welding? NOT MIG WELDING, TIG!!!!!!.
Answer: Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that
uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
◍ Trial.
Answer: a single execution or repetition of the experimental procedure to
test a hypothesis or gather data
◍ Variable.
Answer: a factor or condition in a scientific experiment that is subject to
change.
◍ Systems and System Models.
Answer: Considered in the context of designing solutions like a faster lunch
line
