Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration, often specializing in areas such as structural design, guidance, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication, or production methods. They also may specialize in a particular type of aerospace product, such as commercial aircraft, military fighter jets, helicopters, spacecraft, or missiles and rockets, and may become experts in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, propulsion, acoustics, or guidance and control systems.

Automotive Engineers Working to Improve the Way We Drive and Live

Today’s automotive engineers are focusing their attention on improving the way we drive — and the way we live. Some automotive improvements make life easier to navigate, like GPS systems with visual and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions. Other innovations help protect vehicle occupants and save lives, such as “active safety” technologies, which warn drivers so they can take action to avoid an accident. Of course, yet another focus of automotive engineers, garnering much attention today, is improved fuel efficiency. Green vehicles are catching the attention of consumers rapidly. To meet this demand, nearly every automaker in the world is expanding with clean, fuel-efficient models in their lineup.

The Cutting Edge Technology of the Next Generation

Challenges and issues in technology upgrading from the corporate perspective has always been predominant and will continue to exist for many years to come. The challenges pertain to the five Ms: markets, men, machines, materials, and methods. For markets, there are problems of size (or the lack of) and the increasingly shortened life cycles. For men, there is a need to raise skills level and competencies, have suitable trainers, provide budgets and resources, and be able to retain the workforce in the industry. For machines, there are issues such as the high cost of capital, expensive testing equipment, rapid technology changes, restrictions imposed on the export of high-tech machinery, and long procurement times. For materials, there are limitations on the supply of specialized materials, difficulty in obtaining supplies in small quantities, high cost, and uncertain quality. For methods, the challenges are in the use of forecasting techniques and scenario analysis to assess market demands, emerging technologies, and product trends, and the receptivity of the workforce and companies to technology transfer and certification.

Building a Collaboration Bridge in Architecture, Engineering and Construction

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has experienced rapid increases in design sophistication, leaving firms to grapple with how to address traditional concerns of how to raise productivity in the face of heightened project complexity and compressed project schedules. Add to the mix a proliferation of alternative project delivery methods and a growing number of stakeholders, and maintaining, let alone improving, productivity can become a challenging goal. With a renewed focus on effective collaboration, however, companies are realizing that this goal can be attained.

Civil Construction And Engineering

Civil engineering is a concept that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. The act of civil construction and engineering includes bridges, roads, canals, airports, dams and buildings. These are merely just a few examples of what civil construction and engineering is about.

Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines after military engineering. It has been an aspect of life since the beginning of human existence. Until modern times there was no clear distinction between civil engineering and architecture.

Environmental Due Diligence By ESA

Doing Environmental Due Diligence is a win-win situation for our environment and for the property owner. That’s why in United States the government is highly recommending every site property to undergo ESA before anything else. It must be the responsibility of the property owner to do this. They need to remember that money isn’t everything and that they need to think of their site’s health and what would be its effect to the environment if they let it be contaminated. So what is ESA?

What Triggers a Phase I ESA?

A Phase I ESA is a report prepared to identify potential threats from hazardous or toxic materials on a property.  Purchase of a property by a company, other entity commonly triggers a Phase I environmental site assessment.  The property in question is analyzed, including observation of the soil condition, as well as any improvements done to the property.

The process may also include determining the presence of any chemical residue present on structures, identification of asbestos traces on building materials, inventory of hazardous substances stored or used on the site and numerous other procedures.

Risk Anaysis Case Study

Foreword

I wish to acknowledge the support of Mr John Tookey University of Auckland for his generously support and valuable advises.

1. Introduction

Risk management is one of the most critical project management practices, to ensure a project be successfully completed Risk management is thus in direct relation to the successful project completion. Project management literature describes a detailed and widely accepted risk management process, which constructed from four iterative phases known as risk management plan
