Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.
Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.
One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.

Explanation:
1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM
✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread
✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread
✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.
2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.
3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.
4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.
5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul
~Never ceases to leave us in amazement
~And we are in love

Answer:
Pressure = 11.38 psi
Force = 13.981 Ibf
Explanation:
Step by step solution is in the attached document.
Answer:
a. Rockwell 3. hardness
b. Instron 2. stress vs strain
c. Charpy 1. impact strength
d. Fatigue 4. Endurance Limit
e. Brinell 3. hardness
f. Izod 1. impact strength
Explanation:
Izod and Charpy are the impact strength testing procedure of a material in which a heavy hammer is attached to an arm is released to impact on the test specimen. In Izod test the specimen with v-notch is held vertical with the notch facing outward while in Charpy test the specimen is supported horizontally with notch facing inward to the impacting hammer.
Instron testing system does universal testing of the material which gradually applies the load recording all the stresses and the corresponding strains until the material fails.
Fatigue is the property of a material due to which it fails under the repeated cyclic loading by the initiation and propagation of cracks. The property of a material resist failure subjected to infinite number of repeated cyclic loads below a certain stress limit.
Rockwell and Brinell are the hardness testing methods. In Rockwell test an intender ball is firstly pressed against the specimen using minor load for a certain time and then a major load is pressed against it for a certain time. After the intender is removed the depth of impression on the surface is measured while in case of Brinell hardness we apply only one load against the intender ball for a certain time and after its removal the radius of impression is measured.
