ABERLE Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore MD, 21202, USA. E-mail: kaberle@abet.org Faster computer chips, corporate mergers, new Internet applications: every day, we are reminded of the sweeping technological change and globalization that appear to be dominant trends of the new millennium. Rapid and multifaceted, these changes can be daunting to engineering educators. Unable to predict so volatile a future, we nonetheless have to make decisions today about what to teach future engineers and how to prepare them for an increasingly international workplace without compromising the hard-won quality of our programs. Fortunately, we have an organization dedicated to ensuring the quality and relevancy of engineering education in the US ± and, increasingly, to helping engineering education programs in other countries strive for goals similar to our own. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, or ABET, is a federation of 28 professional engineering and technical societies that accredits some 1,500 engineering programs, 700 engineering technology programs and 50 programs in engineering-related areas. To receive ABET accreditation, engineering programs must go through a rigorous examination that includes self-study and peer review by a visiting team of engineering academicians and...

...Impact of Indoor Air Quality Towards Workers’ Health Performance on Safety Engineering Perspective Ahmad Shah Hizam bin Md Yasir (GS40361) andMohd Ruzaimi bin Mohd Ariffin (GS38824) | | | Abstract Deterioration of air quality in working environments has now become an increasing and critical in both developed and developing countries. The potential risks and problems related to indoor air pollution has been recognized, and there is a need to measure and establish air quality standards for those working in any confined environments. For health and safety reasons, the indoor air quality (IAQ) in an enclosed building, where a few people are working in it, was investigated. This study aimed to determine the association between indoor air quality and the workers’ health performance in XYZ Company. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 117 respondents. Assessments on IAQ perception level from staff were conducted through questionnaires, which consist of Indoor Air Quality and Health Performance Survey. The three IAQ variables tested in this study are ventilation, particles contaminant and thermal comfort. DOSH and STRIDE has also measured the IAQ level, which are the concentration of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), temperature as well as humidity. All data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS Software. Based on the data analyzed, building occupants’ satisfaction level is identified. Findings show...

...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...

...Prakash Faraz Ahmed IIM U, PGPX 2016-17 Executive Summary There is a huge dearth of good quality colleges for higher education in India especially in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Our research shows that the engineering education has been quiet neglected in this part of the country primarily due to the lack of any quality education provider in this sector. After a considerable analysis of the various available options three partners/ friends and members of The National Trust, Mr. Mahesh Sharma, Mr. Nagarjuna Shetty and Mr. Patrick D’Souza have zeroed down on starting an Educational institute i.e. an engineering college. The college will be located at Jamshedpur, a tier 2 Industrial city in the state if Jharkhand in eastern India. As per the business plan, the team envisions a high quality education infrastructure, to cater to the needs of the students from the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal as well as other nearby states. Mr Pattrick D’souza with his immense experience as an educator and an administrator will be the director of the Buddha Institute of Technology for the first five years after its Inception. The institute will be starting off with three branches of engineering at first viz. Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering. Buddha Institute of Technology aims to expand in coming years into more branches of engineering at first, followed by expansion into other fields of education like medical sciences and Management...

...Women in the Engineering World Engineering is a field dominated by men in today's society. When people think about engineering they think about men with glasses and never does a woman come to mind. However, there have been many studies on the skills that keep women out of engineering as a career yet there is no proof that women cannot or do not possess the skills needed to be a successful engineer. Therefore, it is thought and stereotyped that women do not have the skills to have an engineering career. Women are stereotyped as being dumb just because they are pretty, but many women have proven that stereotype wrong. These women who do have the skills to enter into the field face bias everyday in the field because they are women, not because they lack in the required skills. There have been organizations that spend their time encouraging women to enter into engineering. The Organizations and societies have become so strong and so persuasive that even the company that makes Barbie is coming out with a computer engineering Barbie to attract young girls into the field. The push from the organizations and the drive of the women for success has helped some women to make a breakthrough in the field. Those few women who have overcome many challenges and obstacles in the field have to prove themselves to be looked at with even the slightest bit of respect. These women who make a breakthrough are making huge impacts on the field and improving it tremendously. Women are important to engineering...

...Case 20: Rondell Data Corporation John A. Seeger Bentley College "Damn it, he's done it again!" Frank Forbus threw the stack of prints and specifications down on his desk in disgust. The Model 802 wide-band modulator, released for production the previous Thursday, had just come back to Frank's Engineering Services Department with a caustic note that began, "This one can't be produced, either. . . ." It was the fourth time Production had kicked the design back. Frank Forbus, director of engineering for Rondell Data Corp., was normally a quiet man. But the Model 802 was stretching his patience; it was beginning to look just like other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to production during the eight months Frank had worked for Rondell. These problems were nothing new at the sprawling old Rondell factory; Frank's predecessor in the engineering job had run afoul of them too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other departments. But the Model 802 should have been different. Frank had met two months before (July 3, 2004) with the firm's president, Bill Hunt, and with factory superintendent Dave Schwab to smooth the way for the new modulator design. He thought back to the meeting. . . . "Now we all know there's a tight deadline on the 802," Bill Hunt said, "and Frank's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both...

Introduction To win in manufacturing, not only do you need the ability to innovate, but you must also execute upon that innovation and deliver new product to market before your competitors do. That's true manufacturing agility, and it can't happen if your enterprise is burdened by isolated plant-based execution systems that lack coordination between headquarters, engineering and the shop floor. As Blanchard (2005) believes that innovation is the successful exploitation of new ideas. And companies’ success, for example, means increased revenues, access to new markets, increased profit margins, among other benefits. Among the different possibilities to innovate, those related to product or process innovations are...
