...I have completed my Bachelor of Science in civil engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and technology (BUET) with Environment major. It was never easy for someone like me who came from a lower class family, whose father is a poor farmer and mother is a housewife. I have a struggling story about ups and downs of my life. I had started my student life at age of five at nearest primary school. I was the best among the student of my class. Every teacher used to expect something different from me. Although I was the first, I failed to fulfill their expectation at my first public scholarship exam. Then I went to secondary school and as well as the primary school, I was one of three bests of my class. I had to walk nine kilometers every day to attend school. Teachers believed in my potential and for second time I failed to prove me. Although I failed to prove me at public exam, I was the best of my school until next public exam for a certificate. I failed to satisfy everyone including me. After completing my secondary school, I attended college to complete my higher secondary study at nearest district and also to change my life. When I admitted at the college, I was 200th out of 300 students on the basis of my previous result. This time I had to walk only 5-6 kilometers a day and I was happy with that. But I really wanted to change everything and this time I was successful. I was one of the six best students of my college and achieved best student award from the principal...

...Concurrent engineering as defined by Broughton is “an attempt to optimize the design of the product and manufacturing process to achieve reduced lead times and improved quality and cost by the integration of design and manufacturing activities and by maximizing parallelism in working practices’’. Another definition by Winner et al is “Concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to the integrated, concurrent design of products and their related processes, including manufacture and support. This approach is intended to cause the developers, from the outset, to consider all elements of the product life cycle from conception through disposal, including quality, cost, schedule, and user requirements’’. Within the last decade, response to change was one of the pressures facing manufacturers due to high competition and this required a presence of concurrent engineering. New materials, development in technology, innovation in products are involved in the used process. Quality and time are two of the most important elements people in the marketplace concentrate on. There is a pressure of completing the project with high quality with limit of time. To response to the demands of customers and in order to survive in the marketplace, it is very important to introduce concurrent engineering. In the context of the construction industry, the above definition, can be modified thus: ‘‘Concurrent engineering attempts to optimize the design of the project and its construction process to achieve...

...Taking Introduction to Engineering 160, my ultimate goal is to explore and have an in-depth understanding of what an engineer does. At the beginning of this semester, I was skeptical and afraid of my decision to take this class because never in my life had I taken any engineering courses. However, as the course went by, I started to recognize that engineering was a fundamental subject and was connected to almost every other major in some ways. This realization has established a stronger foundation for my decision of being an engineer. Being crowded with more than one hundred majors and the tension of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, deciding a major in college at the age of eighteen was not favorable and more strenuous than it should be. InterEgr 160 has...

...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...

...Level of Awareness of Second Year Civil Engineering Students Towards Civil Engineering Course in Southern Luzon State University Lucban, Quezon INTRODUCTION Within the context of the society of people, people are up to survival. The reason that Herbert Spencer’s coined the word “Survival of the Fittest”. He proposed the theory that societies adapt to their surroundings in order to compete and survive difficulties in life. Through education these difficulties lessen, unlike without the latter cause. According to Lardizabal (1988), education is the change for the better. The goal of education is to change man to be better mentally, physically, socially, morally, and spiritually. With the aid of education people are to be treated rationalized individuals. They can do things that an ordinary man can’t do through education. Having these goals of education, the only difficulty with regards to this innovation is making of decision in entering this development. On other hand, decision making is a task wherein the person must select one option from a number of alternatives, there is game amount of information available with respect to the option, the time frame is relatively longer, and the choice is associated with uncertainty, that is, it is not necessary clear which is the best option (Wickens, Lee, Liu, and Godon Becker, 2004). Choosing a course is an example of decision making. The chooser, the student, is subject to select which one will be in line with their expertise. Prior...

...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...

...Having majored in physical science in associate degree, I would now like to further continue my studies by majoring in mechatronic engineering as an undergraduate. My interest in machinery dates back to my years in primary school, which is located near some garages. When I saw a sports car there, its shape and engine on the back sparked my interest in machinery. I started to find some more information about engines and cars, cultivating my interest in mechatronic engineering. I have read many cars related books and magazine, comprehending the suspension system, gearbox, engine, etc. Also, studying physics at an advanced level has been very helpful in developing my interest in mechanics and mechanics and electricity are my favorite parts within the whole syllabus because it sometimes relates to machinery. Despite the failure of the exam, I choose physical science to continue my studies in associate degree, striving for a Bachelor degree in mechatronic engineering. With respect to my extra-curricular life, I have been a chairperson of the table tennis club, which involves representing our school inter-school competition, made me experience the importance of being a team player.

...disbursements during the life cycle of the project or alternative AW value is equivalent to the PW and FW values at the MARR for n years AW = PW (A/P, i, n) = FW (A/F , i, n) where n is the number of years for equal-service comparison. When all cash flow estimates are converted to an AW value, this value applies for: every year of the life cycle for each additional life cycle The prime advantage of AW analysis is: 1 2 AW value has to be calculated for only one life cycle not necessary to use the LCM of lives as it is for PW and FW . IE 347 Week 5 Industrial Engineering Dept. 1/8 Dr.Serhan Duran (METU) Annual Worth Analysis Basics When alternatives being compared have different lives, the AW method makes the assumption that: 1 2 3 The service provided by alternatives will be needed for at least the LCM of years or more The selected alternative will be repeated over each life cycle of the LCM in exactly the same manner The cash flow estimates will be the same in every life cycle Example Eric Forman, a project engineer is assigned to start up a new office in Wisconsin.

...Zakka Djauhary ENGINEERING 104 – Reflection Paper Team FEFE1054 Design process is the most important process when we are about to make project. It is the first thing that we need to do when making our project. Design process can be steps or process for making a project. In my team, after we read the project handout usually we are discussing what and how we want the project to be. In our team it is required to give at least one opinion or idea for the project. All of our members did well with giving opinions, each member required to give one idea but in my team each member contributes at least three ideas. After we collect ideas, we start to build the project. This is the hardest step; everyone gives lots of ideas so we don’t know where to start. When this happened, we vote which one is the best to put in first, second, third and so on. There are many engineering technique that I learnt from this class. One of them is drawing the finished product, in engineering drawing we must have every detail for the project, such as, measurement, exact drawing and dimension. My experience being on a team is quite unique. There is always an argument and that is what makes the difference between working alone and with a team. The good thing is argument can create a new idea or can make our project to be better. During our first project, which was the spaghetti tower, we argued a lot on how we were going to design a solid tower in short amount of time, and then we didn’t realize that our...

...Communication and Writing Skills For many years, in the masses of people there has been made a stereotype of the working engineer. This is a person who spends ten hours straight in front of his computer, making some strange graphs and calculations. He is afraid of sunlight and spends his free time inventing the time machine. When people try to start a conversation he says that he has a lot of work to do and tries to run away as fast as possible. This picture may be a little exaggerated, but it is how media and television draw it. But today, engineers need communication and writing skills even more than actual engineering. Any engineering career starts from the resume writing. Usually a resume consists of two parts: the list of things that you have done well in your life and the cover letter. Dr. Craig Gunn, a professor of mechanical engineering, clearly explains, “Many big companies do not require the cover letter, but it will be much better for you to write one, because if a manager will read it for some reason, your chances to get a job will be a lot higher.” A person that is going to give you a job will not see you directly, so you have to convince him or her not to throw your resume in the basket by presenting all of your best qualities in the resume. To write a good convincing resume is a very difficult thing to accomplish without some preparations. A good thing will be to go to a library and read a special book about resume writing. Also, the Internet is...
