Candidates may complete the front cover of their answer book and sign their desk card but must NOT write anything else until the start of the examination period is announced. This paper has TWO sections which carry equal marks. Section A comprises TWELVE multiple-choice questions. Responses must be made on the response sheet provided. Section B comprises THREE questions. Full marks may be obtained for TWO complete answers. Credit will be given for the best TWO answers. An indication is given of the approximate weighting of each section of a question by means of a gure enclosed by square brackets, eg [12], immediately following that section. Only silent, self-contained calculators with a Single-line Display or Dual-line Display are permitted in this examination. Dictionaries are not allowed with one exception. Those whose rst language is not English may use a standard translation dictionary to translate between that language and English provided that neither language is the subject of this examination. Subject specic translation dictionaries are not permitted. No electronic devices capable of storing and retrieving text, including electronic dictionaries, may be used. Do NOT turn examination paper over until instructed to do so.

Instructions for answering the multiple-choice questions

(a)

Responses will be read by a machine. You MUST NOT mark the response sheet in any way other than as indicated on the response sheet. All rough work should be within the examination book; rough work will not be used for assessment. You MUST record exactly one response for each question; choose E if you wish to abstain. (Each response is marked +3 if correct, 1 if incorrect, and 0 for abstain. The total is scaled.) On the response sheet: Please use an HB pencil. Mark your answer with a single horizontal line. If you make a mistake, erase it completely. Do not mark with ticks, crosses or circles. Do not forget to write your NAME and MODULE details. Do not forget to enter and code your 7 digit STUDENT ID. Mark the box corresponding to your School in the section headed Other Information as follows: School SChEME Electrical and Electronic Engineering Built Environment Code School A B Civil Engineering Mechanical, Materials, Manufacturing, Engineering and Management Other Courses Code D E
