Quiz: Storm Season Engineering
High winds and extreme weather put mechanical systems to the test. Can you engineer for resilience? Test your knowledge in this ASME quiz.
When it comes to weathering the storm, mechanical systems are put to the ultimate test. Engineers design the fasteners that fight uplift, the shutdown systems that protect turbines from destruction, and the pumps that keep foundations dry when rains and winds converge.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is forecasting an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season ahead—so now’s the perfect time to see if you have what it takes to build mechanical resilience. Take this ASME quiz to see how well you’d fare when the winds pick up.
