...Out of all the careers that I could have researched why did I research Electrical/Electronics and Aerospace Engineers? I researched them because even though I was told my top 30 careers none of those careers were interesting to me. Electrical/Electronics Engineering is interesting because it involves lots of exercise in one's knowledge of modern day technology and how to improve upon what already exists. Aerospace Engineering is interesting because it involves exercise in one’s knowledge of how something is supposed to work and how to evaluate what is wrong with a prototype and how to fix it. My interest in technology has led me to like engineering as a career choice, and my want and need to help the world advance technologically has led me...

Harsh environment in deep water lead to a challenge for especially pipeline design. The pipelines are operated at high pressure and high temperature in order to be able to transport the crude oil from the well to the end termination of loading. Such condition, the pipelines are subjected to axial compressive forces which will cause the pipelines to expand, consequently the pipelines tend to buckle for certain size and distance from the initial of pipeline. The sleeper is one of method to control the pipeline expansion by insertion of bar underneath the pipeline. The sleeper results initial imperfection for pipeline which forms a curvature. The magnitude of curvature is designed comply with DNV OS F101 where the design load will accommodate the combination load works on pipeline and the curvature configuration will validate...

...Engineering Overview The Field Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers design products, machinery to build those products, plants in which those products are made, and the systems that ensure the quality of the products and the efficiency of the workforce and manufacturing process. Engineers design, plan, and supervise the construction of buildings, highways, and transit systems. They develop and implement improved ways to extract, process, and use raw materials, such as petroleum and natural gas. They develop new materials that both improve the performance of products and take advantage of advances in technology. They harness the power of the sun, the Earth, atoms, and electricity for use in supplying the Nation's power needs, and create millions of products using power. They analyze the impact of the products they develop or the systems they design on the environment and on people using them. Engineering knowledge is applied to improving many things, including the quality of healthcare, the safety of food products, and the operation of financial systems. Engineers consider many factors when developing a new product. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers determine precisely what function the robot needs to perform; design and test the robot's components; fit the...

...special events that require careful attention to many conflicting strategic, operational, financial and intangible factors that can set the stage for either great success or fantastic failures. these issues will be one of the biggest challenges facing the industry in the coming years. This whitepaper explores the key drivers impacting the aerospace industry, the process for developing a comprehensive location strategy in response to industry expansion, and these critical locations factors that lead to location strategy success in the Southeast U.S.: Global commercial aircraft orders have increased six percent in 2011, with accelerating demand for new, more fuel efficient and technologically advanced aircraft. According to a number of studies, the industry will have to increase production by 45 percent to meet demand in the coming year to address the backlog orders. This is evident by the recent announcement by Airbus to double its current $12 billion spend on U.S. suppliers. The demand issues up and down the supply chain will place greater pressure on program management, manufacturing capability and capacity, cost and the greening of aerospace products.

...Assignment 1 Standards Research Yvonne Mitchell Strayer University Summer 2015 Dr. Constance Blanson Communication Technologies Assignment 1: Standards Research Abstract Information technology is at the center of daily operations for millions of people around the world. Almost everyone uses at least one piece of technology in his or her everyday routine, whether it is a cell phone/smartphone, laptop computer, tablet, or other device. With that being said, standards are implemented to help regulate this technology so that it functions properly. By definition, a standard is a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to certify that materials, products, processes and services are adequately fulfilling their purpose. This paper will answer the 4 questions/topics outlined in regards to standards research. Select one of the working groups in the IETF or IEEE and briefly summarize what this working group is working on. The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) is in charge of developing voluntary Internet standards. These standards make up the TCP/IP Internet protocols. The working groups are organized into different areas: General, Applications, Real-time Applications and Infrastructure, Operations and Management, Routing, Security, and Transport. (Active IETF Working Groups) The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) focuses on the educational and technical advancement of electrical...

...Articles Teaching Lean Manufacturing With Simulations and Games: A Survey and Future Directions Fazleena Badurdeen1, Philip Marksberry1, Arlie Hall1, and Bob Gregory1 Simulation & Gaming 41(4) 465–486 © 2010 SAGE Publications Reprints and permission: http://www. sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1046878109334331 http://sg.sagepub.com Abstract Problem-based learning focuses on small groups using authentic problems as a means to help participants obtain knowledge and problem-solving skills. This approach makes problem-based learning ideal for teaching lean manufacturing, which is driven by a culture of problem solving that values learning as one key output of manufacturing production. Thus, simulations that organize participants in teams for realistic manufacturing production problem solving are widespread as a way to use problembased learning to teach lean manufacturing. But a critical assessment of existing simulations for lean manufacturing instruction has been lacking. Accordingly, a literature survey is conducted and existing simulations are classified according to their emphasis on lean tools or the overall lean system; the degree of their focus on soft skills, if any; and their area of application, whether academic or industry. Four gaps are found in existing simulation designs: lack of stress on soft skills, a mistaken focus on “linear lean,” misunderstanding of the key role of the facilitator, and lack of realism. Future directions for study and...

...Jimmy Hernandez 11/24/2013 NT1110 Computer Structure and Logic Week 10 Research Project 3D Printing Today and Tomorrow I chose to do my research paper on 3D printing, were we are today and what the future looks like. While researching this project I learned that 3D printing has been around since the 80’s, and that it is also known as additive manufacturing. I chose this topic for a few reasons; first off this is a topic that has interested me fo a while now and I enjoy learning more about it. I believe this technology is going to have a huge impact on our future, like the computer, and the internet it will change the way we do things. I like that its impact is not limited to one area. I highlight in my project seven different areas that 3D printing is already being used and is reshaping those industries. One of these industries is architecture, construction, and engineering. Architects are using 3D printing to save time when putting together their scale models. In the future there will be no limitations to their designs; the reason for this being that construction companies are now experimenting with 3D printing to build parts of buildings. They have started to print using concrete and have been able to print up some wild angles and designs. These were difficult to pull off before because it was hard to make the form to pour the concrete. In the future architects and project managers will be able to work together and print sections of a building in one...

LEU Additive manufacturing: technology, applications and research needs © Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013 Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been researched and developed for more than 20 years. Rather than removing materials, AM processes make three-dimensional parts directly from CAD models by adding materials layer by layer, offering the beneficial ability to build parts with geometric and material complexities that could not be produced by subtractive manufacturing processes. Through intensive research over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the development and commercialization of new and innovative AM processes, as well as numerous practical applications in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and other fields. This paper reviews the main processes, materials and applications of the current AM technology and presents future research needs for this technology. Keywords additive manufacturing (AM), AM processes, AM materials, AM applications 1 Introduction The ASTM F42 Technical Committee defines additive manufacturing (AM) as the “process of joining materials to make objects from three-dimensional (3D) model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies” [1]. It is also known as additive fabrication, additive processes, direct digital...

... vanadium, copper, iron, manganese and molybdenum to create alloys of improved grain size and hardness (Clifford, 1968). Titanium mill products: titanium foil, sheet, wire, and rod are useful in the aerospace, marine, military and other industries. Titanium powder is also used in pyrotechnics to produce silver sparks (Helmenstine, n.d.). Titanium is commonly consumed, meaning, about 95% of titanium ore extracted from the Earth is being refined into the form of titanium dioxide (TiO2), a white permanent pigment used in paints, paper, toothpaste, and plastics (Smook 2002). As titanium oxide, it is used as air purifiers (as a filter coating) to coat windows on buildings so that when titanium oxide becomes exposed to UV light (either solar or artificial) and moisture in the air, reactive redox species like hydroxyl radicals are produced so that they can purify the air or keep window surfaces clean (Stevens et. al., 1998). Also, just recently, 18-year-old Eesha Khare, a senior at Lynbrook High School, designed, synthesized and characterized a core-shell nanorod electrode capacitor (with a hydrogenated titanium dioxide core and polyaniline shell) that retained a supercapacitor's energy density and long life (Adhikari, 2013). The proponents, however, limit the scope of their research into titanium alloy mill products used in the aerocraft industry since two thirds of all titanium metal produced is used in aircraft engines and frames (Emsley ,2001). In this specific industry, titanium...
