...indicates the automated test equipment/systems company. According to the column A, the data indicates a highest property and equipment percentages (74.5%) and lowest sales/net property & equipment ratios (0.43) among all industries which means this particular industry requires a relative high cost for the property and equipment purchase and the sale prices is relatively lower. However, if we look at the net profit/net sales ratio, we found that this industry has the higher value (10.3%) compared to other industries, which indicates that the demand of this industry is pretty high and the economic crisis didn’t affect the overall customer purchase. Based on this analysis, the electric utility is the best choice, which needs a highest cost for the equipment and property set-up but the electricity is still an indispensable product and demands for it is hardly to be shrunk even during the economic crisis year. From column B, the percentage of receivables is 3.8% and the days of inventory is 4, which are the lowest values among other industries. These two numbers indicate that customers have strong purchase power to buy products quickly and this industry requires customers to pay the money as soon as possible as they purchase the product. Usually, the discounted product will attract more customers because they are affordable, which indicates the discount general merchandise retailer. The industry in column C has the highest ratio of return on equity (28.1%) and current assets/current...

...consideration the economics of bionic human engineering because there are multiple parties involved in these considerations that include, the scientists, the patients, the doctors, the investors and the insurance companies. The culmination of these entities are what drive the research to happen in the first place based on the supply and demand strategies that the business environment drives. The interest in this technology for the scientist can stem from several different interests like personal interest in helping others, expanding technology, producing new ideas, and mainly an income source that will provide profitability for themselves and the companies that they work under. This profit margin on these types of technologies is what drives large scale companies to invest time and money into researching bionic engineering for human use. The risk of developing this type of technology is huge based on the amount of money needed to invest initially while still maintaining continuous investments throughout the life of the project itself. The benefits that all of these companies strive to obtain becomes endless once they have a working prototype that they can present to other investors. Most of these companies decide to produce the products themselves once they have perfected it, but there is a small amount that will sell the results to a company that is willing to then take on the responsibility of manufacturing the products. Overall the underlying priority of human bionic engineering is to...

...Azerbaijan State Oil Academy The rise of what became ASOA tied to the rise of the petroleum industry in the Baku region. By 1887 the preparatory technical school that would become Baku Polytechnicum was established in Baku and by 1910 it had integrated a curriculum related to the growing oil industry. However, the ratio of Azeris to non-Azeris was so skewed that of the 494 students studying at the school in 1916, only 20 were Azeri. On November 14, 1920, after the invasion of the Red Army and the establishment of the fledgling Azerbaijan SSR, the new government decreed that Baku Polytechnicum would close and be replaced by Baku Polytechnical Institute, a more traditional polytechnic institute and the beginnings of the current incarnation. The new school focused on training engineers in a broad range of industries, from agriculture to oil. By 1923 the school graduated its first three students and by 1927 it had risen to 289 graduates. The new school went through many name changes over the years as its emphasis changed to meet the needs of Azerbaijan. In 1923 the school changed its name to Azerbaijan Polytechnical Institute. In 1929 the agriculture department was spun off into a separate Agriculture Institute and the university changed its name to the Azerbaijan Oil Institute (AOI) in 1930. However, the expanding needs engineers in other areas outside oil resulted in expansion in the school's curriculum and the school changed names again in 1934, this time to the Azerbaijan...

...professions have adopted various codes of ethical; conduct centered on sustainable development. Accordingly individuals working in various sectors constantly seek to adhere to these codes of conduct within their mandates. The engineering sector is one such area where the concept of sustainable development is regarded as a key tenet guiding ethical conduct among engineers. This paper traces the history of the concept of sustainable development and how it is practically incorporated into the engineering profession. Further, this paper examines the current Engineers’ Code of Ethics and how it addresses the issue of sustainable development. There have been various definitions regarding the concept of sustainable development. However, all these definitions revolve around the concept of need and limitation. The all time famous definition was one brought forward by the world Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 that termed sustainable development as, ”development that satisfies present needs without undermining the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs.”. This definition was further modified in 2002 at the world summit on sustainable development held in Johannesburg to incorporate key development milestones that is; Social, economic and environment development. The inclusion of the three milestones broadened the definition by the Brundtland Commission to include concerns emergent issues regarding social justice equity and human development. On the other...

...beginning will change everything down to a distinct thought. History has proven that the steps forward in technology within engineering have grown larger and are concluded at a more rapid rate and within the last twenty years. Such a large amount has improved so rapid as cities grow and technology advances, engineering is moving along with the tide. Engineers that grow and see their world of work improve every day because of certain advances in technology all depending on their field. This how engineering features evolved into what they are today from within the last two decades; and how the change will continue to advance as modern Technology embraces a post-modern era. Engineering has existed since the earliest times of culture and perhaps is one of the older lines of labor on earth (the earliest invention of engineering goes back as early as the invention of the wheel). It’s extraordinary that we came so far since the discovery of the wheel. The technology that has been accomplished today just engulfs the minds of people. Everyday modern technology is taken over the minds of people and they continue to adapt to the modern changes within the ever changing society. Through centuries there are trails left by ancient engineering and has differed from our technology today. Through the ancient era there has been astounding and un-answering feats of engineering. Like the great pyramids of Egypt and the great coliseums of Rome. They manufactured these man-made objects so big with no...

...During my bachelor’s telecommunication engineering, each semester I was delighted to embark on subjects amalgamating engineering with diverse physical sciences. Engineering Economics, Mathematical Modeling, Antenna and Propagation, Entrepreneurship Managing are such examples that taught me of engineering being an intellectual understanding of social needs rather than a rigorous exercise of scary mathematics. My viewpoint of engineering further revolutionized while working in the editorial team of my university’s annual magazine, Synergy. I did my final year project on FPGA based implementation of TF-RDLMS FIR filter using VHDL. It was the same year when I took over as Editor-in-Chief of Synergy. The worth of management in both challenging and noncompetitive milieus was the most valuable implication I learnt that year. During my apprenticeships at SIEMENS, Islamabad and Commissioner’s Office, Rawalpindi I realized that no matter what discipline of life one follows, one’s practices can’t remain isolated. Troubleshooting a fault in networking or coordinating hierarchical communication in an office, I found I was congruently dealing with technology and management. These experiences provided me the opportunity to rethink of my future ambitions. I was tempted to experiment. Combining Engineering and Management in one degree, there couldn’t have been a more innovative and exciting deal. I went through the proposed curriculum of Engineering Systems and whereas I was pleased with...

...SULAV BHATTARAI ELEG 4202 ENGINEERING DESIGN JANUARY 20th 2014 Realistic Constraints: Constraints are conditions that we need to happen or would like to happen with a design. A realistic constraint is a reaction on the degree of freedom you have in providing a solution. Constraints are effectively global requirements, such as limited development resources, decisions that restricts the way you develop a system. Economic Constraints: Determing whether a project should be carried out from a financial perspective. Environmental Constraints: Giving consideration to the ways the product might impact the environment, from its manufacture to use its disposal. Social Constraints: Developing projects that are designed to meet human needs and/or to address social issues. Political Constraints: One needs to understand how engineering and political activities interact, and how to work effectively in this environment. Ethical Constraints: Engineers need to be aware of codes of conduct that provide standards of proper behaviour in our interactions with others, both inside and outside of the profession. Health and Safety Constraints: Products should be designed such that their everyday use does not cause harm. Also, engineers must acknowledge that all products have lifetimes, and therefore modes of failure, associated with them. Manufacturabiity: Concerned with designing,a product in such a way that it can be manufactured efficiently, reliably and within...
