...Diesel Mechanic Becoming a diesel mechanic is an extremely rare and overlooked career path. Not everyone is cut out to be a diesel mechanic; it is a very dirty, hands-on job. However, it does not require any standard curriculum knowledge. It is simply the understanding of an intricate diesel engine. Being a diesel mechanic is a rewarding career that is a vital part of maintaining much of America’s transport. Diesel mechanics work on the diesel engine, the workhorse that powers larger vehicles. Diesel mechanics are also referred to as diesel service technicians or diesel engine specialists. They follow a routine maintenance checklist which involves the inspection of braking systems, steering mechanisms, wheel bearings, and other significant...

...Perspective Lisa A. Williams Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Management 203 Christopher Urdzik April 26, 2015 Abstract This paper explores aviation maintenance from a Manager’s perspective. There are various governing bodies that control or oversee how maintenance is performed on a routine basis for commercial aircraft. The main governing body that is discussed here is the FAA. Also discussed is the required training of the Airframe and Powerplant mechanic and how management can be assured that mechanics are qualified to release aircraft after performing maintenance certifying these aircraft are safe to fly. Also, in this paper, the attempt is made to show where mechanics need ongoing training to assure management that the mechanic is trained on new technologies that are developed and used in commercial and corporate aviation. The answers are not mapped out by the FAA or training programs so it is up to the company to be sure that the mechanic is made aware of these new technologies through FAA study groups that managers can attend and brief technicians on new developments. Human error cannot be eradicated it is indispensable fact of the human behavior (Maddox, 1998). Although, aviation maintenance managers have acquired high levels of technological skills training related to their profession, the above statement from Dr. Michael Maddox is true in regards to human error. Research in the industrial sectors specifies that up to 80% of accidents...

...(although at the time they were discovered, it was thought that everything revolved around the earth); albeit all of these stars and planets were discovered before Galileo’s telescope. The tool still helped gain better calculations of the stars, which helped Galileo support Nicolaus Copernicus’ heliocentric (sun-centered) solar system as opposed to the geocentric (earth-centered) solar system that people in those times believed. With Isaac Newton, one of the most famous physicists, discovering most of laws of motion through his studies in astronomy, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, one of the greatest works in the Scientific Revolution, was born. From Newtonian physics, theories of fluid mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and most importantly, quantum mechanics. Further along the line of the history of telescopes, humans eventually needed to see deeper into space. This was revolutionary because now mankind wasn’t just looking up into the constellations and the movement of the sun and the moon, now they were actually...

...1. Suppose you have conceived the idea of Otisline. What would be your arguments to convince the management for investing in this project? Our proposition would be elaborated on the following points: 1. Existing Market Scenario: The study of North America sales and services shows the industry of elevators is very competitive and stable with steady demand and high profitability that attracts new entrants. Use of similar technology in all the elevators led to increase in many small companies devoted purely for service. The competitive edge exists in acquiring the long-term service contracts, as elevator sales market was very competitive with marginal profits. Thus the focus was mainly on targeting the service industry. 2. Differentiating Our Product: Our product could be differentiated on the basis on responsiveness, quality and price. a. To target the responsiveness (24 hours a day): With the concept of the OTISLINE, the company can accept the customer requests not only in the working hours but also during non-prime-time hours. This would decrease the response time to the consumer calls thus increasing the visibility of our service business. b. To target quality: The quality of the company’s service was a measurement of its responsiveness to callbacks. Thus, reducing the response time increases customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. The employees would also be effectively trained which would buttress the quality...

...UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING ENCI790 RESEARCH PROPOSAL: “An evaluation and survey of methods available for converting biomass into fuels” Candidate: Surya Sappa Supervisors: Professor John Chen Doctor Robert Kirkpatrick ABSTRACT Biofuel technologies have become more and more prominent in addressing the need for a continuous supply of fuels. Biofuels are fuels that are produced through the biological process of converting biomass/biowaste into a fuel source to reduce the negative impacts faced by fossil fuels combustion (reduction in greenhouse gasses) and availability of supply. Biofuels can be derived from a wide variety of biomass, and are categorised into four generations: First generation biofuels are made from sugars, starches, oil, and animal fats that are converted into fuel using already-known processes or technologies. These fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohols, ethanol, and biogases, like methane captured from landfill decomposition. Second generation biofuels are made from non-food crops or agricultural waste, especially ligno-cellulosic biomass like switch-grass, willow, or wood chips. Third generation biofuels are made from algae or other quickly growing biomass sources. Fourth generation biofuels are made from specially engineered plants or biomass that may have higher energy yields or lower barriers to cellulosic breakdown or are able to be grown on non-agricultural land or bodies of water...

...Quantum mechanics is an area of physics dealing with phenomena where the action is of the order of the Planck constant. The Planck constant is a very tiny amount and so this domain of physics is typically on the distance and momentum scale of atoms and elementary particles in general. Action is a general physical concept related to dynamics and is most easily recognized in the form of angular momentum. The most tangible way of expressing the essence of quantum mechanics is that we live in a universe of quantized angular momentum and the Planck constant is the quantum. A tangible result of the quantization of angular momentum is the existence of discrete electron orbitals, each with a principal quantum number and each orbital with an associated angular momentum that is an integer multiple of the Planck constant. Quantum mechanics has many implications on the microscopic scale, some of which are obscure and even counter intuitive. Classical physics explains matter and energy at the macroscopic level of the scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies. It remains the key to measurement for much of modern science and technology. On the other hand, at the end of the 19th century scientists discovered phenomena in both the large (macro) and the small (micro) worlds that classical physics could not explain. Coming to terms with these limitations led to the development of quantum mechanics, a major revolution in physics. This article describes how...

...Kreitner and Kinicki (2013) defined span of control as being the number of people who report directly to a particular manager. They declare that between seven to ten individuals is the optimum number historically. However, due to changes in technology, this number has been increasing. Georgiou (2013) in dealing with the optimum number states it should be contextual. It appears this aspect is very complex and contextually dependent; therefore, no generic optimum likely exists that works for all scenarios. The shade tree mechanic working in their own garage has no one to blame but himself when things go wrong. In the same fashion, if the car cranks on the first try, the same mechanic has the privilege to take all the credit. How many cars can be worked on simultaneously depends directly upon how many trees are in the yard, or how many bays the garage contains. This scenario, however, is not entirely correct because even if three vehicles are in a state of disarray, the mechanic can only work on one at a time. If the mechanic desires to truly work on two vehicles simultaneously, a family member or someone down the road has to be recruited to assist. This obviously establishes a span of control of one. Of course, the question of how many garage bays, or even how many appropriate...
