Assignment: Using Engineering Information and ICT - Engineering Module

This document presents a comprehensive solution to an assignment focused on Using Engineering Information and ICT, covering both mechanical and electrical engineering aspects. The mechanical engineering section addresses tooling requirements for creating tapped holes, identifying appropriate speeds and feeds for mild steel, and determining wheel nut torque specifications for a BMW 1 series f20. It also identifies the gasket materials used in the same car model. The electrical engineering section delves into the components of a simple electronic circuit, identifies operating parameters of resistors and capacitors, details the characteristics of a red LED (waveform, forward voltage, current, and dimensions), and specifies the supply and part number of a 3kW electric motor. The assignment utilizes information from various online sources and includes a bibliography of related texts. This solution provides a valuable resource for students seeking to understand and solve similar engineering problems.

Q4. What type of gasket material is used on BMW 1 series f20 2011 2018
The most common types of gasket material used in BMW 1 series f20 2011 2018 is Graphite and
Rubber.
Basically, in obtaining the above answers, there were several sites and sources which could help
but could not be used since they were not very clear on the concept and information required that
why I only selected some whose links have been given above.
Electrical
Q1: Components found in a simple electronic circuit

Using Engineering information and ict 4
Below are some of the components which are in any simple electronic circuit.

Q2. Identify two operating parameter of the electronic components
Resistor. They have a specified amount of current which it can withstand depending on its
rating. It also has a specified operating temperature ranges in which if it is extreme the
component won´t operate effectively.
Capacitor. Capacitors have Leakage which is responsible for self-discharge of the capacitor
and this depends on the insulation resistance. Capacitors also have the specified amount of
voltage which can perfectly operate in. If the voltage is exceeded the capacitor will blow off.
Transistor: Transistors have a specified voltage and current gain. They also have the operation
attenuation.
Q3: Determine the following information of a red LED: Waveform, forward voltage,
maximum forward current and physical dimension.
Waveform: 0.48 Hz to 4.8 Hz.

forward voltage: 1.8 volts
maximum forward current: 20mA
physical dimension:
