ENGINEERING BTEC LEVEL 2 UNIT 1
ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ What is kevlar?.
Answer: para-aramid synthetic fibrehigh-strength material
◍ How are the raw materials for metal, wood and plastic extracted???.
Answer: Metal: Metal OREs found beneath the ground. Excavated in open
pit minesWood: Trees are logged using chainsaws and vegetation removed
before being loaded onto lorriesPlastic: Crude oil is extracted from deep
below the ground using oil wells
◍ Chemical engineering.
Answer: Branch of engineering that applies physical sciences and chemistry
and physics and life sciences (biology) together with maths to convert raw
materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms.
◍ Requirement/Criteria.
Answer: A need or a necessity
◍ Something that is not a form of technology can only be found.
Answer: From nature
◍ Criteria.
Answer: What a design needs in order to be successful
◍ bioengineering.
Answer: when the engineering design process is applied to living things
◍ xlogA.
Answer: logA^x
◍ Capacitance.
, Answer: eA/d
◍ Which property of a metal can a scientist identify through observation
only?.
Answer: it has a metallic, golden brown color
◍ 2 advantages and disadvantages of MIG welding please.
Answer: Advantage: Creates a clean join Suitable for large scale
productionDisadvantage: High initial set up cost Requires a skilled welder
◍ Blended Wing Bodies.
Answer: - Advanced aircraft designs consisting of large aerofoil wings
joined to an aircraft body.different from 'flying wing' designs. These aircraft
have a distinct wing and body, although much more aerodynamic than
existing designs.- Reduce fuel costs. Combined with lightweight composite
materials for maximum fuel efficiency
◍ Quadratic Formula.
Answer: x = -b ± √(b² - 4ac)/2a
◍ induced EMF.
Answer: E = Blv
◍ What is GRP?.
Answer: GRP stands for 'Glassfibre Reinforced Plastics', also referred to as
'Fibreglass', Composite Plastics. It is an amazingly versatile material, and
one that is little understood in the industry, but which has truly immense
potential across a wide spectrum of applications.
◍ Assistive Technology.
Answer: Item or piece of equipment that maintains or improves what people
with disabilities are able to do
◍ What is the first step in the engineering process?.
Answer: identify the problem or need
◍ magnetic field strength.
Answer: NI/I
