...Christian Values to the Professional Engineering Ethics Professional Engineers follow many ethical norms for them to become effective employees not only in the companies they work in, but also to the community. Because of the field they are working in, they are supposed to perform certain responsibilities that will affect their credibility. Together with these responsibilities there is a great impact in the personality of a professional Engineer if it is incorporated with Christian values. Christian values are teachings from the life of Jesus and Christian life. It helps us to be aware if our acts are favorable in His sight. These act as guides towards righteousness of an individual. When Christian values are incorporated in a professional Engineering ethics, it just doesn’t scope what is good, beneficial, desirable and useful for other people and for themselves, but they confer with the desires of God. When an individual works with morale, integrity and guidance of God, it will result to a better performance because he knows where he is headed to. It will also act as a conscience whenever you think of doing something that will affect in a bad manner other people around you and undesirable for God’s sight. These values will mold an individual to become a better person not only as professionals but as a person. As a professional Engineer, we are given enough education to perform what our tasks are. Together with these tasks, we are also equipped with values and ethics...

...This paper described the methods of SWOT analysis and Value Chain Analysis. SWOT analysis was presented as a technique for assessing the fit of a business within its operational environment by looking at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Comparing a competitor’s SWOT analysis with one’s own can reveal insight into where competitors are stronger and weaker and guide strategic decisions. The Value Chain Analysis was presented as a technique to identify which activities can create or improve economic advantage for a company. Using the value chain analysis within a competitive intelligence framework, a company can get insight into competitors’ cost structure and differentiation strategy as well as changes to these strategies. One can then compare the competitor’s value chain analysis with its own to discover opportunities for acquisition or where improvements within the value chain can be completed. Finally, both methods were used within an intelligence project to analyze RIM and provide recommendations to Alpha. Add real value Dedication, determination and attention to detail are hallmarks of RIM Global Manufacturing. It is comprised of a number of teams, ultimately responsible for the effective and timely manufacture, assembly, repair and delivery of the company’s products, supporting our customers around the world.

...SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Student Name: Student Number: Instructor: Class: Date: The concept of Sustainable development has in the recent past, raised concerns in all aspects of day to day living. Consequently, over the years a number of definitions and connotations have been associated with this concept, so as to apply it in different professional settings. Particularly, different 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...

Conclusion References EG2401 Engineering Professionalism Group 3 Final Report Abstract Gift receiving has long been a problem in evaluating the ethicality of engineers. In this study, we analyse the ethical boundaries of gift receiving. The foreground for this analysis will be based on several factors, including the value of the gifts and the behaviour (or intention) of engineers after receiving the gifts. These criteria will underpin the discussion for the scenario on whether it is ethical for engineers A, B and C to receive gifts from contractors and suppliers, given that they are involved in the bidding process to select the from the same contractors and suppliers. This report will also evaluate various ethical concerns by comparing the scenario against three different case studies, which will act as the three different extents of moral lines that are set in place. These comparisons would be used to derive a conclusion for the scenario...

...why women are less seen in engineering and also to create a solution to how we can motivate women to join the science field Introduction I came from a country far along the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean. I was a child born in the midst of boys who wanted to be involved in everything. As time went on, I began to fall for the love of wanting to build things and experiment with many materials. Upon arriving in the United States, I fell in love with computers. I later made up my mind to be a computer engineer. With such dreams of mine, I got a call on this particular day from a friend in Nigeria. We talked and he later asked me what I wanted to do with my life, joyfully I told him I wanted to be a computer engineer. I felt this sudden silence and shock on the phone, he made a comment to me, a comment that changed who i am today, he said “But you are a woman, Engineering is a man work, how will you do that?”. This later caused me to research more about women in engineering, and to my amusement, women are less found in engineering. Today I will tell you the two reason why this issue is occuring and the steps we can all take to end such issue. Lack of women in the engineering field can be because women were often assigned jobs sorting papers, copying, and typing—tasks they felt did not value or cultivate their skills. Lack of confidence also causes women to feel unwanted in the engineering field....

...Annual Worth Analysis Basics So far we learned PW and FW as comparison tools AW analysis is said to be the best comparison tool. AW value is the equivalent uniform annual worth of all estimated receipts and 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.

Characteristics of A Production Process. 3. Importance of Continuous Process improvement. 4. Innovation Drivers of Change. 5. Reverse Engineering. 6. Kaizen. Objectives * To be able to know what is Product Innovation. * To identify the reason of Continuous Innovation. * To be able to enumerate different factors Necessitating Change in Process Design * To introduce some new ways of thinking about continuous improvement. * To understand innovation as drivers of change. * To discuss about Reverse Engineering and Kaizen. 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...

...| Role of Engineering Science | Marc Ramroop ID No : 58391 | | Sharon Mohammed | | | 10/3/2012 | | Engineering is the art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences such as physics or chemistry, as well as the construction of engines, bridges, mines, ships and chemical plants. John Smeaton was the first self-proclaimed civil engineer ,and is often regarded as the father of civil engineering. He was English and helped establish the design for bridges, canals, harbours and lighthouses. Smeaton designed the third Eddystone lighthouse (1775-59) where he pioneered the use of ‘hydraulic lime’ (a form of mortar which will set under water) He is important in the history, rediscovery of, and development of modern cement, because he identified the compositional requirements needed to obtain ‘hydraulicity’ in lime. The role and application of engineering science is important based on inventing and creating new ideas. It is from these roles in engineering science , we develop and enhance answers to our problems. we do this such that experiments are carried out and prove whether or not our predictions were made accurately or inaccurately. Engineering science has a huge role in the history of bridges. Engineering Science has matured bridges into being one of the best creations man has designed. Engineering Science allows engineers to make bridges towards their intention and determine variables which can produce better bridges....

...ENB100 - ENGINEERING & SUSTAINABILITY Progress Report (due in Wk12 Tutorial) ! Student Name: ! Student # Your task: Your role as a professional engineer will require you to assess multiple solutions for a single problem. Often, the suitability of the solution has little to do with the price or the provider but more to do with ‘fitness for purpose’. As such, it is vital that a structured process is used to identify the most appropriate solution. This process is called an evaluation matrix. ! Your task is two-fold. Firstly, in your own words, you need to define the term ‘evaluation matrix’. Make sure your definition relates to the engineering context and provide robust references. Secondly, you need to develop suitable criteria for use in your final project. Ensure you use clear and measurable criteria that take into account the client needs. ! ! ! 1. Definition An Evaluation matrices are used in the engineering profession as a tool to evaluate a number of different types of options against a prioritised criteria. If the design ideas do not meet the criteria then two different levels of the evaluation matrices can be used. The first level effectively acts as a filter with each different option evaluating it against the mandatory criteria. (UCLA, 1-2, 2014) para The design options that meed these mandatory criteria then go on to the second level with involves them being evaluated against prioritised criteria. This is vital this profession...

...must be ensured. This is the challenges professional engineer’s face on a daily basis, an engineer is a person who applies their knowledge in the sciences and mathematics to design and provide services required for the publics need. Engineers are abided by the code of ethics and section 77 of regulation 941 states that all licensed engineers act with the following statement “knowledge of developments in the area of professional engineering relevant to any services that are undertaken; and competence in the performance of any professional engineering services that are undertaken” [1]. Continued professional development, is a learning tool for professional to stay current and maintain their knowledge and skills related to their professional lives [7]. On the basis that an engineer’s work is to provide development for society, the Professional Engineer of Ontario should mandate a professional development program to ensure that engineers remain competent throughout their professional careers. Current practices in Canada and around the world in engineering and similar practices, and the effects of the advancement of technologies requires CPD to ensure competent engineers. Regulating and launching a CPD program easily establishes the requirements of the publics need, regulator’s need, licensee’ need, and the employer’s need.
