Stephenson, Greg. "Technology Focus: Artificial Lift (March 2021)." Journal of Petroleum Technology 73, no. 03 (2021): 41. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/0321-0041-jpt.
Full textAbstract:
In a recent SPE Podcast, Shauna Noonan asked me why I chose a career in artificial lift. My answer was twofold. First, I explained that I love instant gratification and that there is probably no other discipline within petroleum engineering that allows you to see immediate results from your work the way artificial lift does. Second, I explained that, when I was an incoming freshman at Texas Tech University, I learned that past department chair Herald Winkler was revered throughout the industry as one of the pioneers of gas lift technology. I figured that, if artificial lift was a good enough career path for “Wink,” it was good enough for me. It did not take long, however, for me to learn that not everyone felt the same way. When I was given the opportunity to select a senior petroleum engineering elective, I chose Artificial Lift. On the first day of the semester, I was one of only two students to show up for that class. We were disappointed when, at 8 a.m., a department staff member informed us that the class did not make and that we had been enrolled in Thermal Recovery Methods instead. This would not be the last time I learned that artificial lift did not always receive the love that it should. Years later, I was visiting with a seasoned artificial lift professional at a meeting and mentioned the need to better leverage the resources SPE has to offer. He immediately retorted, “Oh, Greg, SPE is for reservoir engineers. Why waste your time?” I am pleased to report that, in the decade since that meeting, artificial lift has experienced something of a renaissance within SPE. Past President Shauna Noonan is a career artificial lift professional, and, during her administration, the SPE Board of Directors greatly expanded the role of artificial lift technology within our professional society. Since 2014, SPE International has presented a dedicated series of artificial lift conferences, the most recent of which was the virtual 2020 SPE Artificial Lift Conference and Exhibition—Americas. This biennial event has greatly enhanced the breadth, depth, and quality of artificial lift papers available to our members through the OnePetro online library. For the 2020–21 season, two artificial lift experts, Anthony Allison and Ken Decker, were selected as SPE Distinguished Lecturers. In 2020, SPE established a new technical section dedicated to artificial lift technology. Beginning in 2021, JPT is expanding its coverage of artificial lift to two features per year. Finally, since 2014, SPE has recognized 16 eminent artificial lift professionals for their outstanding contributions by presenting them with the Legends of Artificial Lift award. As it happens, the very first class of Artificial Lift Legends included both Herald Winkler and Joe Clegg—the very individual who told me that SPE was for reservoir engineers. One common theme shared by each of the Artificial Lift Legends in their talks is that artificial lift really shines during a downturn. This is because, when capital spending is constrained, artificial lift is one of the few levers an operator has available to increase production while reducing operating expenses. As my colleagues and I can attest, this was certainly the case in 2020. While many groups within my company and others like it struggled to stay busy, artificial lift professionals found that they had never been busier. I am proud of the work that my colleagues in the industry have done to help operators achieve positive free cash flow during one of the most challenging periods of our industry’s history. The results of your dedication, ingenuity, and hard work demonstrate the important role artificial lift technology plays in our industry today.

Dalrymple, Robert A. "PROCEEDINGS DEDICATION: Robert Dean." Coastal Engineering Proceedings, no. 35 (June 23, 2017): 3. http://dx.doi.org/10.9753/icce.v35.foreword.3.
Full textAbstract:
This Proceedings is dedicated to Dr. Robert George Dean. For more than 12 years (1992-2004), Dr. Dean served as Chairman of the Coastal Engineering Research Council, the organization that is responsible for providing the coastal engineering profession with its most important conference, the ICCE. His motto was “the Coastal Engineering Research Council does one thing and we do it wellâ€â€”ensuring that a high-quality conference is held every two years and that a proceedings is created as a record of the state of the art. We all can agree with that. 
 
 Dr. Dean was one of the most influential coastal engineers of this era. On the academic side, he educated a large number of masters and PhD students, many who have carried on his teachings in the field. He wrote or co-wrote several hundred articles and three books—Water Wave Mechanics for Engineers and Scientists, Beach Nourishment: Theory and Practice, and Coastal Processes with Engineering Implications. The first book, in print since 1984, provided to generations of coastal engineers the derivation of water wave mechanics from fluid mechanics and reflected some of his contributions to the field: such as wavemaker theory and the Stream Function wave theory. The second book (2003) provided a new rational basis for the design of beach nourishments from sand selection and beach profile to planform layout, while the third book (2004) provided a scientific bases for coastal engineering, including some of his novel work on sediment transport and tidal inlet hydraulics and stability. 
 
 He was born in Wyoming, USA, on November 1, 1930. His education included Long Beach City College and then UC Berkeley for the BS in Civil Engineering (1954), an MS in Physical Oceanography at Texas A&M (1956), and then the Doctor of Science (Civil Engineering) from MIT (1959). His professional career started in industry with five years at Chevron Research Corporation, when he developed the Stream Function theory for use in wave force calculations on offshore structures. He then became the chair of the Department of Coastal and Oceanographical Engineering at the University of Florida in 1966. For seven years (1975-1982) he served as Unidel Professor at the University of Delaware, where, among other things, he worked on equilibrium beach profiles, providing several scientific explanations and field verification of the Bruun beach profile. Then he returned to the University of Florida as a Graduate Research Professor until his retirement in 2003 as an Emeritus Graduate Research Professor (2003). Even in retirement he continued working in the field, often producing more than eight publications a year!
 
 He was very active in consulting and service to the profession. He served on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal Engineering Research Board, which provides advice to the Corps on coastal topics (1968-1980; 1993-1998). He served on six National Research Council (of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine) committees on such topics as sea level rise, coastal erosion, coastal nourishment, and Louisiana, and the Marine Board (beginning in 1981). As a Floridian, he worked as the Director of the Division of Beach and Shores of the State of Florida, working on such topics as the basis of implementing the State’s coastal setback line for development. He also was Chair of the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association and a director of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. 
 
 Bob possessed a tremendous skill for examine a problem and recognizing the appropriate physics to apply to it. With this skill, he was able to bring new insights into beach profiles, alongshore sediment transport rates, beach nourishment guidelines, tidal inlet stability, wave theory, and a host of other topics. For this, he was recognized by the ASCE’s John G. Moffatt-Frank E. Nichol Harbor and Coastal Engineering Award (1987), the Gold Medal of the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association (1987), the ASCE International Coastal Engineer Award (1983) and the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal by the Department of the Army (1981 and 2008) among others. In 1980, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. 
 
 For a man of his professional stature and accomplishment, Bob was just as happy talking with the top people in the field as newcomers. He treated them all with the same graciousness. Even when someone he was listening to was saying something scientifically wrong, Bob would ask polite questions, such as “would your solution satisfy conservation of energy?†or “I don’t understand where this term came from?†I know, because it happened to me on occasions. 
 
 Bob is survived by his wife Phyllis, his daughter Julie Dean Rosati (another contribution to coastal engineering), his son Tim, and five grandchildren.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the importance of Professional Engineering (PE) license in the United States. The debate in United States was sparked by a proposal last year to create a single US license for each of the engineering disciplines. The proposal was made to enhance the ability of engineers to transport their expertise across state lines as well as across national borders to better compete in the global marketplace. The high number of industry exemptions also contributes to the decline of licensed engineers. Although those exemptions are considerable for most engineering disciplines, in Texas and New York, for example, the number of exemptions is highest among electrical and mechanical engineers. Between 1993 and 1998, the number of engineers taking the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, a precursor usually required to apply for a PE license, shrank significantly. While most companies include money to support the professional growth of their employees in their annual budgets, licensing appears to be held in a separate, unrelated category.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between professional and universal ethics of engineers.
 Methodology:This study used quantitative methods to distribute the questionnaire by using random sampling to get data from 248 respondents of engineers from government and private sectors in Melaka. Respondents were required to valuate agreement to statement about work ethics that used a five-point Likert scale. Meanwhile, the scales used for measuring correlation were given as 0.000-0.2000 “negligible”, 0.201-0.400 “low”, 0.401-0.600, “moderate”, 0.601-0.800 “high”, and 0.801-1.000 “very high”. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to obtain these correlation results. In this research, we analysed the data collected using SPSS Ver.22 to identify the relationship between professional and universal ethics of engineers in Melaka.
 Main Findings:The findings showed that all variables of professional of engineers correlated significantly with universal ethics. The significant level (p-value) was found to be less than 0.05, the study findings indicate a significant relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. Results obtained in this study confirmed that there were significant positive relationships between all variables that could influence professional and universal ethics.
 Implications:This study contributes towards the improvement of Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM’S) existing policy. Based on the study’s findings, the policy implication of this study includes: responsible bodies such as the governing institutions of engineers need to ensure that ethical practices are made as the main core in their profession by increasing knowledge and awareness about ethical practices in the engineering profession.
 Originality:This study only focus on the relationship between professional and universal ethics of engineers and the results will be useful towards the improvement of Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM’S) existing policy.

Full textAbstract:
The study aims to describe the methodology for a comparative study of US and Ukrainian higher education institutions, namely with regard to the professional training of electronics engineers. Although applying international experiences in training students of higher education institutions is becoming more widely accepted by Ukrainian higher education institutions, few studies attempted to explore the impact of leading US institutions’ best engineering education practices on Ukrainian higher engineering education. It is suggested that comparing professional training of electronics engineers in US and Ukrainian higher education contexts should address the feasibility and procedures for US experience implementation. Thus, this article determines the levels of comparative pedagogical analysis of professional training of electronics engineers i.e. conceptual, organizational and methodological, content and technological. In addition, invariant tasks of comparative pedagogical research are proposed. In particular, they include analysis and comparison of concepts, provision of procedures and comparison criteria, description of research stages, applying the discovered US educational experience to the Ukrainian context, development of recommendations for educational policy with regard to the modernization of higher education. The comparative analysis of concepts has identified the equivalents in the educational contexts of two countries as well as shown the need for introducing some new concepts into Ukrainian engineering education terminology. Criteria introduced by the leading international, US and Ukrainian ranking systems, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology enabled the selection of 43 appropriate higher engineering institutions. The findings reveal that US educational experience allows Ukrainian institutions that train electronics engineers to find optimal solutions to solve these problems and outline promising areas for applying the US experience. Comparative study of two educational systems is of undeniable practical importance, particularly with respect to the modern period of Ukrainian higher engineering education reforms.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the enforcement of the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct (Rules) from 1946 to 1978. This period encompasses the early regulation of the Texas accounting profession after the passage of the Texas Public Accountancy Act (Act) in 1945. The Act and accompanying Rules remained in effect until 1979, when the Texas legislature enacted new accountancy legislation which inaugurated a more regulatory era. Results indicate that enforcement of the Rules of Conduct was a process evolving over time as both the state and professional political systems impacted the behavior of the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. During the period under study, internal professional competition between certified public accountants and non-certified public accountants surfaced as a substantial explanatory factor behind rule promulgation and enforcement. Violators differed from non-violators in level of education, type of training, and type of practice. In total numbers, certified public accountants were subject to more hearings and sanctions than non-certified public accountants. However, in accordance with expectations, the public accountants received a disproportionate share of alleged violations and sanctions. Violations implying practice incompetence and those impairing professional integrity were subject to more severe disciplinary actions, but the Board heard more competitive behavior allegations than those involving malpractice.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of environmental engineering in Canada is regulated by the 12 individual provincial and territorial associations/ordre, who are also members of the national Canadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE). Although CCPE has no regulatory authority over the engineering profession in its own right, it is responsible for establishing national guidelines for registration and for accrediting university engineering programs. The criteria for professional registration in Canada are presented in detail and include both educational and experience components. The educational requirements can be met through graduation from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board approved environmental engineering degree program or by passing mandatory examinations assigned by the individual associations/ordre from CCPE's national Environmental Engineering Syllabus. Generally a minimum of four years of satisfactory engineering experience, which has been supervised by a professional engineer who takes direct responsibility for the work carried out, is required. Public interest and public protection go hand in hand with the concept of professional registration for environmental engineers. Problems encountered by the associations/ordre in reviewing environmental engineering registration applications are discussed, and the approach taken by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (by example) in addressing these problems is reviewed. Environmental engineering requires a wide range of knowledge in both engineering and science, as well as effective communication skills. Life-long learning is essential to the profession, particularly considering the rapid introduction of new technologies and the advances occurring in scientific and engineering knowledge in the environmental sector.Key words: environmental engineering, registration, professional engineer, education, undergraduate, graduate, certification, professional experience, academic criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: This paper examines the linkage between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and talent retention amongst Malaysian engineers from the perspective of entrepreneurial orientation theory.
 Design/Methodology/Approach: A cross-sectional survey of 104 engineers from private organisations in Malaysia was conducted to test the hypothesised relationships between constructs. The population comprised graduate and professional engineers who were registered under the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). The purposive sampling method was employed for data analysis purposes. Data was analysed using partial least square-structural equation modelling technique.
 Findings: The results of this study indicated a significant relationship between innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, and competitive aggressiveness and the intention to stay (ITS). Autonomy was found not significant in predicting engineers’ ITS the same jobs. Engineers require EO to support their freedom of ideas and thoughts to exploit opportunities, produce creativity, and solve engineering task-related problems and uncertainty situations.
 Implications/Originality/Value: EO dimensions can be used to predict engineers’ ITS current employments. This study provides crucial information for the organisations and policy makers to develop mechanisms and policies to enhance the engineers’ involvement of effective EO for increasing retention behaviours and career satisfaction. As the EO of engineers’ increase, the ITS will also increase.

Full textAbstract:
Best value PIPS has been introduced in the Netherlands in the procurement of construction systems. The Water Board De Dommel utilized best value PIPS to select engineering consultant services. The test differed from other Dutch tests in that the PIPS process used the pre-award phase before the award phase. The best value selection of engineers also proposes that design firms can compete on value (price and performance). The engineering selection process was much closer to the original BVP/PIPS than the construction phases. The major lesson learned is the BVP/PIPS is a paradigm shift. The success of the test led to the recommendation of more professional services using BVP/PIPS.

Full textAbstract:
The Malta College of Arts, Science, and Technology (MCAST), Malta’s leading VET provider, opened its doors in 2001 and has since invested heavily in recruiting industry professionals to teach a variety of vocational subjects. New full-time educators commit to complete an in-service pedagogy course within the first five years of employment. However, as full-time IVET educators become seasoned teachers and academics, they run the risk of losing technical competences related to their former vocational profession or discipline. The aim of this grounded theory study is to explore Continuing Professional Development (CPD) practices that enable IVET educators to maintain and update subject-related technical competences. Five in-depth interviews were carried out with IVET lecturers within the Institute of Business Management and Commerce (IBMC) at MCAST. The findings show that, whilst the notion of what constitutes CPD was interpreted differently, all participants had participated in some form of technical CPD at their own initiative, ranging from reading, conferences, seminars, and courses, or practising in the subject-specific area. However, all teachers agreed that the value derived from work placements cannot be replicated by other forms of CPD. Teachers also expressed the need for individually tailored technical CPD, depending on the stage of professional development and subject area taught. Finally, the findings suggest that those teachers who are bound to carry out CPD to meet the requirements set by a professional board (e.g. Accountancy Board or Chamber of Engineers) engage in CPD more systematically and mindfully, highlighting the need for MCAST’s own career planning and CPD policy.

This survey examines how mechanical engineers are being prepared to be responsible stewards of the environment by offering a multi-channeled look at a diverse collection of twelve US colleges and universities, with connections to the larger global context. This study enumerates the external influences of professional organizations, those responsible for program accreditation (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)), professional conduct (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), and licensure (National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying, National Society of Professional Engineers). At the curricular level, this study presents current mechanical engineering curricula via core courses (required at most institutions) and non-core courses (required at a minority of institutions or elective courses). The curriculum study identifies fifteen core courses and uses the Open Syllabus Project and online bookstores to identify a representative textbook and classify the environmental content therein. Immediate results show the environment receiving sparse treatment in core course textbooks, institutions having zero environment-focused degree requirements, and a tendency towards offering electives that are narrowly focused on green technologies. Elective offerings mirror ABET’s recent move away from emphasizing the “broad education necessary to understand the impact” of engineering solutions to instead “consider the impact of” engineering solutions in an environmental context. Overall, the environmental education mechanical engineers are receiving is insufficient in amount and lacking in scientific and ethical foundation. Ideally, every mechanical engineering program should include coordinated environmental content throughout the curriculum and require at least one course that teaches both environmental design principles and the importance of environmental stewardship. A novel approach eschews the typical artes mechanicae course structure to teach environmental stewardship in the artes liberales educational tradition, emphasizing multi-dimensional thinking by employing great books style discussions of seminal scientific, ethical, and technological works.

Initiatives to encourage more women in STEM-related industries have had mixed results. Adding more women to longstanding male-dominated STEM occupations has highlighted issues in workplace culture that are hostile to women. In this case, the CEO of an engineers' professional association, NSE, is accused of making a sexually suggestive remark to two female engineers at the annual convention. One of the women, Claire, lodged a complaint with the board. After reviewing the investigation report, the board voted to ask the CEO to quietly apologize to both women. Claire, in the meantime, posted a negative review of the NSE's handling of her complaint which is getting considerable media attention. The purpose of this case is for students to examine the competing interests NSE faces in promoting the safety of female members, protecting its reputation for advancing the profession and women in engineering and supporting an otherwise “brilliant CEO”.

This article focuses on aspects of an onboard fuel-distilling system aims to curb the belch of hydrocarbons from a cool starting engine. According to an expert, feeding an engine high-volatility fuel during warm-up can halve the hydrocarbon emissions during a 30-minute drive. Ronald Mathews, along with Rudy Stanglmaier, a former University of Texas Austin doctoral student now with the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, and two Ford engineers, Wen Dai and George Davis, have patented an on-board distillation system that can refine fast-evaporating species from fuel while the engine is running and set aside the product as a reserve to be used at start-up. Among the key elements of the system is a level sensor in the reserve tanks. If the reserve falls too low, a control system in the engine central processing unit will trigger the distillation while the engine is running warm. The research for the technology, called the onboard distillation system, was supported in part by the Texas Advanced Technology Program, with Ford underwriting the patent application process.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most important tasks of engineering ethics is to give engineers the tools required to act ethically to prevent possible disastrous accidents which could result from engineers’ decisions and actions. The space shuttle Challenger disaster is referred to as a typical case in almost every textbook. This case is seen as one from which engineers can learn important lessons, as it shows impressively how engineers should act as professionals, to prevent accidents. The Columbia disaster came seventeen years later in 2003. According to the report of the Columbia accident investigation board, the main cause of the accident was not individual actions which violated certain safety rules but rather was to be found in the history and culture of NASA. A culture is seen as one which desensitizedmanagers and engineers to potential hazards as they dealt with problems of uncertainty. This view of the disaster is based on Dian Vaughan’s analysis of the Challenger disaster, where inherent organizational factors and culture within NASA had been highlighted as contributing to the disaster. Based on the insightful analysis of the Columbia report and the work of Diane Vaughan, we search for an alternative view of engineering ethics. We focus on the inherent uncertainty of engineers’ work with respect to hazard precaution. We discuss claims that the concept of professional responsibility, which plays a central role in orthodox engineering ethics, is too narrow and that we need a broader and more fundamental concept of responsibility. Responsibility which should be attributed to every person related to an organization and therefore given the range of responsible persons, governments, managers, engineers, etc. might be called “civic virtue”. Only on the basis of this broad concept of responsibility of civic virtue, we can find a possible way to prevent disasters and reduce the hazards that seem to be inseparable part of the use of complex technological systems.

This paper focuses on aligning engineering design with accreditation requirements in engineering education. To be an accredited curriculum, education programs must incorporate graduate attributes required by program accrediting professional bodies. Graduate attributes are the required benchmarks for students to attain their specific qualities and abilities within a higher education institute. Most higher education institutions identify a list of expected graduate attributes or outcomes that are incorporated in their educational programs to be accredited by an accrediting professional body such as Engineers Australia (EA), Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the United States, and the European Accreditation of Engineering Programs (EUR-ACE) in Europe. This paper evaluates the program educational objectives, student outcomes, assessment methods and evaluation of different undergraduate engineering programs. It assesses how engineering design is practiced and incorporated as an important element of the graduate attributes through project oriented design based learning curriculum aligned with professional accreditation requirements.

This article reviews engineering challenges in building a motorized surfboard. Bob Montgomery, a former professional surfer, founded a company named Powerski International in San Clemente, California, to help bring surfing to the masses. The motorized surfboard invented by Bob Montgomery includes a 330-cubic-centimeter engine, known as the SuperTorque XT, specially designed to fit within the hull's profile. Between the first design on paper and actual production, Powerski engineers made thousands of changes to the hull, engine, and other components. Montgomery found that designing a new engine had to be done within a computer-aided design (CAD) package to allow for the complexity of the parts. Although the hull of the Powerski Igniter 330 was designed by hand, engineers imported the physical prototype into the company's CAD system, which is from PTC. Montgomery expects jet boarding to become a popular water sport, akin to surfing. The jet board design puts the center of gravity under the rider's feet, rather than behind or in front of the rider. Controls under the bottom of the hull also put the pivot point directly under the rider's feet, for high-speed planing and turning, much like a surfboard.

Full textAbstract:
It was in July 1956 when the senior writer of this paper was requested to prepare a program for investigations and studies required in connection with the proposed deep-draft channel from the Gulf of Mexico to Point Comfort. During 1938 to 19^0, the senior writer had attempted to analyze the available field and model study data which were then available on Galveston Bay in the hope of thus being able to reduce the shoaling in the various deep draft channels in Galveston Bay. In 19^0, the senior writer had been in charge of two field parties one of which measured the flow of water in the Colorado River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway near their crossing near Matagorda, Texas. A peak discharge of about 80,000 cubic feet per second was measured in the Colorado River at the Palacios Road bridge, about 15 miles upstream from its mouth during this period. At that time there were no locks nor gates in the Intracoastal Waterway adjacent to the Colorado River. It was found then that about one third of this peak river discharge flowed southwest through the Intracoastal Waterway. On the basis of the above experience and the information obtained from a review of the Matagorda Ship Channel, Texas, project report (l) and other literature, then, available (2) thru (5) a program was formulated in June 1958 and submitted to the Division Engineer in Dallas with the request that the Office of the Chief of Engineers, the Southwestern Division Engineer Office, the Beach Erosion Board and the Committee on Tidal Hydraulics review the program.

Additionally, the orchestra identified 3 major goals: (1) To be an orchestra able to play anything, (2) To be an orchestra reaching 1/3 of the local population each season, and (3) To be an orchestra hosting a music school with a full youth orchestra. As the 2014 -2015 season began, these initiatives created a position full of possibilities for the orchestra’s new executive director. He could now reach beyond simply solving problems within the organization, in order to bring the community of Southeast Texas a new perspective on classical music and the Symphony. This case study, best used in undergraduate or graduate management, marketing, service management, nonprofit management, operations management, or strategy courses, describes the progress of the orchestra and studies the opportunities and challenges still facing the Symphony of Southeast Texas in light of this new era. The information presented in the case study was obtained through interviews with staff and board members of the organization, along with a case study of the orchestra conducted in 2010. The findings were then analyzed to identify trends in opinions among members of the organization and to gather facts about the current management and the future of the Symphony of Southeast Texas. The study finds that the Symphony is well-managed, but must find new, exciting ways to fulfill its mission of reaching the community.

 Desde su concepción, la ingeniería está llamada a proporcionar soluciones a las necesidades del ser humano en distintas áreas, teniendo a la ciencia y la tecnología como cimiento. Puede observarse ladefinición que proporcionó el ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, antiguamente American Engineers Council for Professional Development) en 1941, donde se establece que esta constituye
 la aplicación creativa de principios científicos para diseñar o desarrollar estructuras, maquinaria, aparatos o procesos de manufactura o mecanismos, utilizándolos solos o en combinación; o para construir u operar[los] con total conocimiento de su diseño; o para pronosticar su comportamiento bajo condiciones de operación específica; todo en lo quese refiere a una función prevista, economía de operación y seguridad para la vida y la propiedad.

While conducting my dissertation research on the professionalization of breastfeeding support, I identified key “founders” of lactation consulting. I focused on the people involved in the formation of the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners and represented by the International Lactation Consultant Association. Jan Riordan was at the top of my list. As the editor and co-author of the first text on breastfeeding and human lactation for non-physicians, Dr. Riordan shaped the professional body of knowledge for International Board Certified Lactation Consultants and others providing clinical breastfeeding support. She was a La Leche League leader and founding member of the Kansas La Leche League International Chapter, served on the first International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners Board of Directors, and served on the first editorial review board of the Journal of Human Lactation. She was a professor of nursing at Wichita State University for 23 years. I met her at an International Lactation Consultant Association conference in San Antonio, Texas in 2010, just after she had retired from Wichita State, and I interviewed her by phone on August 10, 2010. This is from a taped interview. (AE = Aimee Eden’s initials; JR = Jan Riordan’s initials). The University of South Florida IRB approved the full study.

Those in charge of creating and endorsing curricula for engineering colleges appear to generally agree that materials science should be included. More than jus an acceptance of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) certification requirements, the consensus view is that engineers really need to know about the materials they will someday use Unfortunately, there appears to be some disagreement about where this exposure to materials science fits into the overal scheme of things (scheduling or course sequence, so to speak). There is also dis agreement as to what engineering students should know about materials and by inference, as to who is most knowledge able and best qualified to teach this information. As a result of these disagreements students at some engineering departments have had to take, during the final semester, an introductory materials course taugh by instructors whose professional experience lies outside materials science and engineering.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, a new learning tool is proposed to train professional figures, such as entrepreneurs, engineers, and technicians, who need to improve their skills in the field of Internet of Energy. The proposed tool aims to cover the lack of experimental knowledge on new energy systems and to layer proper skills, which are useful to deal with challenges required by smart energy management in the new complex distributed configuration of the electric power systems, characterized by demand response services. This tool is based on a small-scale laboratory demonstrator, representative of a smart rural house, equipped with a measurement and control system. This demonstrator can be remotely accessed, through web server applications based on a low cost single-board computer. Trainers can have direct experience on the main concepts related to smart grids, renewable energy sources, electrochemical storage systems, and electric vehicles, through the use of the proposed tool managed by the web software interface.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT IMPACT: The goal of this evaluation study is to enhance the ability of the External Review Board to advise the CTSA at UTMB how to improve translational science activities. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the work of the External Review Board (EAB) for the Institute for Translational Sciences/CTSA at the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston. This evaluation is conducted through the perceptions of professional and community board members. The outcome consists of an inventory of best practices. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We collected data by means of semi-structured interviews with all eight member of the EAB. The interviews were conducted via telephone, lasted approximately 30 minutes each, and were audio-recorded with respondents’ permission. Respondents’ identities were held in confidence. The IRB at UTMB reviewed our study. The interviews were transcribed. The data were analyzed by means of an inductively-oriented, grounded theory approach (Charmaz, 2006). Emergent themes led to the formation of a series of best practices. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Common concerns included the need for more extensive training for new members; circulation of the agenda before the meeting; and the value of more structured main leadership. The members generally agreed that the breakout groups were valuable because they encouraged them to engage in hands-on responses to practical problems. One of the key epistemological findings was the consensus view that the evaluation of the EAB should be an ongoing project, as opposed to a yearly task. This serious approach to evaluation would be conducive to a process analysis of the EAB, since medical, social, economic, and cultural conditions surrounding and influencing translational science are generally in flux (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic and the various stages in the CTSA grant). Overall, the EAB experience was quite positive for them. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: The strongest sentiment expressed in the interviews was that the CTSA at UTMB should focus and build on its strength--the science of team science--as opposed to any concerted search for weaknesses that the term “evaluation” occasionally implies.

Full textAbstract:
Aim: To examine interprofessional healthcare professionals’ perceptions of triggers and root causes of moral distress. Design: Qualitative description of open-text comments written on the Moral Distress Scale–Revised survey. Methods: A subset of interprofessional providers from a parent study provided open-text comments that originated from four areas of the Moral Distress Scale–Revised, including the margins of the 21-item questionnaire, the designated open-text section, shared perceptions of team communication and dynamics affecting moral distress, and the section addressing an intent to leave a clinical position because of moral distress. Open-text comments were captured, coded, and divided into meaning units and themes using systematic text condensation. Participants: Twenty-eight of the 223 parent study participants completing the Moral Distress Scale–Revised shared comments on situations contributing to moral distress. Results: All 28 participants working in the four medical center intensive care units reported feelings of moral distress. Feelings of moral distress were associated with professional anguish over patient care decisions, team, and system-level factors. Professional-level contributors reflected clinician concerns of continuing life support measures perceived not in the patient’s best interest. Team and unit-level factors were related to poor communication, bullying, and a lack of collegial collaboration. System-level factors included clinicians feeling unsupported by senior administration and institutional culpability as a result of healthcare processes and system constraints impeding reliable patient care delivery. Ethical considerations: Approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of Texas Health IRB and the organization in which the study was conducted. Conclusion: Moral distress was associated with feelings of anguish, professional intimidation, and organizational factors that impacted the delivery of ethically based patient care. Participants expressed a sense of awareness that they may experience ethical dilemmas as a consequence of the changing reality of providing healthcare within complex healthcare systems. Strategies to combat moral distress should target team and system interventions designed to improve interprofessional collaboration and support professional ethical values and moral commitments of all healthcare providers.

Full textAbstract:
At present, there is a serious energy crisis around the globe which impacts greatly on the power grid. A smart and user friendly energy management system can control the energy consumption. In this paper, load power and energy management system is developed and simulated using Proteus Visual Design software. The load analysis and measurement techniques are developed for single phase and three phase loads and implemented using Arduino Mega 2560 board. User friendly controls are developed using the visual design feature of the software to control the energy consumption. The load power management system is simulated by measuring the power consumed by various residential loads such as lights, fans, air-conditioners, heaters. The industrial loads are simulated by squirrel cage induction motor. The load analysis summary is displayed on the Arduino 2.8 inch TFT display shield in a table format. The simulaion model is created for future hardware implementation and is tested under various practical input conditions. The Proteus Visual Design software is chosen in this resesarch due to its advantages such as professional PCB layout package, availability of nearly 800 microcontrollers in the library package etc.The developed model successfully measured the energy consumption of several loads and assist the user in controlling the energy usage through automation control techniques. The accuracy of the results shows that the technique and the model developed in this research can be used by engineers, students and hobbyists who are working with energy monitoring systems and smart home applications directly. This is an ongoing project where in the next stage, the hardware design of the simulation model will be implemented and tested in real time application.

Abstract The Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching, commonly known as the Ag Guide, is published jointly by the American Dairy Science Association®, the American Society of Animal Science, and the Poultry Science Association under an open access creative commons license. At present, its 4th edition is under development and out for public comment. When finalized, this edition is intended to replace previous editions from 1988, 1999, and 2010. The first five chapters of the Ag Guide cover subjects that are relevant across species. These are followed by species-specific chapters, which are under the purview of the respective associations dedicated to the species. Authors of the individual chapters, recruited by the associations, were scientists, veterinarians, or engineers with expertise in the species or subjects covered in the respective chapters. All chapters are grounded in the scientific literature. The board of directors of each association approved final drafts of the general chapters and their respective species chapters. The content is intentionally broad so as to cover the diverse research and teaching institutions that use agricultural animals, yet be clear enough to give unambiguous guidance to institutional animal care and use committees (IACUCs) responsible for the care and use of animals in their respective institutions. It is viewed as essential that IACUCs and others who oversee animal care practices use sound professional judgment to achieve appropriate animal welfare outcomes, recognizing that too prescriptive an approach to animal care and use can stifle research and teaching opportunities. The 4th edition of the Ag Guide constitutes a timely and robust updating of guidance pertinent to animal care and use that will be released in 2020.

Full textAbstract:
As its first issue was published in 1989, the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics (JRM) has been in existence for 30 years. Its entrance into its fourth decade this year coincides with the change in the name of the Japanese era, marking a joyous milestone. During the three decades since the JRM was founded, much progress has been made in the areas covered by it, and these areas have expanded to encompass very diverse fields. It was around 1988, when I was at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), that I received a letter from Kazuo Yamafuji, later the first Editor-in-Chief of the editorial board, stressing the need for a journal such as the JRM. I gladly joined the committee to discuss its publication, and after attending a few meetings, I witnessed its successful launch. I served as the Deputy Editorin- Chief of the editorial board. Prior to that time, robots had mainly inhabited the world of science fiction and were not recognized as a technological subject within an academic discipline, except in the field of factory automation. The robots that did exist were usually thought of in a recreational context. Meanwhile, the general trend in academic and engineering disciplines was toward specialization and segmentation, with engineering splitting into mechanical, electronic, and other branches, each becoming progressively isolated from the others. Yet, those working in areas related to product development and manufacturing were expected not only to have knowledge of several engineering disciplines but also to integrate them in applying them. These engineers/technicians were treated as unoriginal emulators existing outside of the conventional systematized and specialized fields, and they were regarded as heretics with no suitable field to represent in making presentations at professional or academic conferences. Even if they hoped to publicize their research findings, there were no professional/academic journals that could provide a proper peer review. It was under these circumstances that the word “mechatronics” was coined in Japan, where it gained currency and also came to earn some recognition in the English-speaking world. Founded at just the right time, the JRM contributed to the spread and growth of mechatronics. Subsequently, the term came to denote, in addition to its original meaning of the integration of mechanics, electronics, and information science, the fusion of widely diverse technologies in human sciences, social sciences, and medicine. In this context, it is my ardent hope that the JRM, in its fourth decade, will increase its presence as a journal that remains unconstrained by conventional specialties and accepts papers and articles that deal with as-yet-unestablished areas that cross multiple fields, contributing to their dissemination. At the time the JRM was founded, Keiji Hayashi was president of Fuji Technology Press Ltd., the organization that annually presents the JRM Best Paper Award. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 90 on March 19, 2017, before he could see the JRM’s 30th anniversary. Some time before he passed, he telephoned me to say that he hoped the JRM would continue to widely encompass and nurture as-yet-unknown areas. On this occasion of the 30th anniversary of the JRM, I wish to pay my respects and express my deep gratitude to Mr. Hayashi, who provided his own funds to support its publication. I pray that his soul may rest in peace, and I sincerely hope that the JRM continues to make great strides in the coming decade.Masanori Idesawa

Full textAbstract:
The past two decades have seen massive changes in the higher education landscape, including the heightened participation of post-traditional students, high reentry and mobility of students within and across sectors, and the increased visibility of open admissions institutions, such as community colleges and for-profit colleges. Despite these radical shifts, the most commonly used college choice frameworks still focus on the decisions of students who fit a stereotypical profile and are entering traditional institutions of higher learning for the first time. In this article, Constance Iloh argues for the necessity of a new conceptual approach and offers a three-component ecological model of college-going decisions and trajectories that incorporates the pressing conditions and shifting contexts of twenty-first-century postsecondary education. In doing so, Iloh also asserts that the concept of “choice” may be a limited and problematic way of understanding present-day college-going. Errata The Editorial Board of the Harvard Educational Review is issuing an errata statement in conjunction with “Toward a New Model of College ‘Choice’ for a Twenty-First-Century Context” (Volume 88, Number 2, pages 227-244, doi:10.17763/1943-5045-88.2.227), by Constance Iloh, due to multiple instances in which the author incompletely attributed previously published material in the introduction and literature review.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAdoptive cell therapy (ACT) using autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has shown great benefit in patients with melanoma.1,2 It was suggested that long term tumor immunosurveillance is provided by TIL persisting after transfer. Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen presenting cells and have the ability to optimally activate T lymphocytes.3 We hypothesized that the combination of autologous TIL containing a population of HLA-A0201 restricted MART-1 reactive CD8+ TIL with autologous MART-1 antigen-pulsed DCs will result in enhanced proliferation and prolonged survival of the transferred antigen-specific T cells in vivo, thus leading to improved clinical responses.MethodsThis is a randomized phase II trial of lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by autologous TILs ± DC vaccine and high dose Interleukin-2 (IL-2) for patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients were randomized to receive TIL alone or TIL + DCs pulsed with MART-1 peptide. The primary objective was to determine whether patients receiving TIL + DCs have sustained persistence of infused T cells compared to patients treated with TIL alone. Secondary endpoints included evaluation of tumor response and survival.ResultsA total of 18 patients with stage IV melanoma were treated; 89% with stage M1c, including 56% with brain metastasis; 17% had high LDH level. All but one patient were checkpoint naïve prior to TIL. Ten patients received TIL alone and eight received TIL + DC. Treatments were well tolerated with no grade 5 adverse events. There were no toxicities conferred by the DC vaccination. The ORR was 63% (5/8) in TIL + DC arm (1 CR, 4 PR) and 40% (4/10) in TIL arm alone (1 CR, 3 PR) (P=0.64). There was no statistically significant difference in survival between the arms. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.6 months in the TIL arm and 7.2 months in the TIL+DC arm, while the median overall survival (OS) was 4.1 years in the TIL arm and 2 years in the TIL+DC arm. Tracking of the infused MART-1 reactive CD8+ T cells in the blood over time by flow cytometry showed no difference in persistence between the two arms.ConclusionsACT with TILs has robust response in checkpoint naïve advanced melanoma patients. Despite numerically higher response rate in the TIL+DC arm, due to small patient number there was no statistically significant difference between the arms. Further testing of this approach in a prospective trial post-ICI is warranted.Trial RegistrationAll metastatic melanoma TIL lines were derived from tumor tissue obtained from patients enrolled on the TIL ACT clinical trial [institutional review board (IRB)-approved protocol# 2004-0069, NCT00338377] at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.Ethics ApprovalThe United States Food and Drug Administration and the Institutional Review Board at MD Anderson Cancer Center approved the study.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the linkage between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and talent retention amongst Malaysian engineers from the perspective of entrepreneurial orientation theory.A cross-sectional survey of 104 engineers from private organisations in Malaysia was conducted to test the hypothesised relationships between constructs. The population comprised graduate and professional engineers who were registered under the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). The purposive sampling method was employed for data analysis purposes. Data was analysed using partial least square-structural equation modelling technique. The results of this study indicated a significant relationship between innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, and competitive aggressiveness and the intention to stay (ITS). Autonomy was found not significant in predicting engineers’ ITS the same jobs. Engineers require EO to support their freedom of ideas and thoughts to exploit opportunities, produce creativity, and solve engineering task-related problems and uncertainty situations. EO dimensions can be used to predict engineers’ ITS current employments. This study provides crucial information for the organisations and policy makers to develop mechanisms and policies to enhance the engineers’ involvement of effective EO for increasing retention.

Full textAbstract:
During the past two centuries or so a number of buildings and bridges had been structurally failed and collapsed all over the world. Some of these incidents caused a sizeable number of human casualties. For instance, collapse of Tay Bridge in 1879 killed at least sixty persons. Beside the problems related to their design and construction, probably the failure to follow engineering ethics properly was partially responsible for these incidents. Growing engineering professionalism during the nineteenth century gave rise to the development of a number of famous engineering societies, such as American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE ( (1884), American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME) (1871), etc. On the other hand, responding to series of significant structural failures mentioned above, some engineering societies developed formal codes of ethics. Following these societies, engineers of Bangladesh (previous East Pakistan) established Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB). Likewise, Malaysian engineers established Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). Both of these societies have their codes of ethics. Islam also has offered a number of ethics to be followed by the engineers. Analyzing the related verses of the Qur'an and ahadith of the Prophet (pbuh), this paper intends to highlight these Islamic ethics and in light of them, tries to evaluate the codes of ethics of these two societies and compare between them. The paper may conclude that although the codes of ethics of IEB and BEM are supported by Islamic ethics they require further modification.ABSTRAK - Sejak lebih kurang dua abad kebelakangan ini, banyak binaan yang gagal dari segi strukturnya dan juga jambatan yang runtuh di merata dunia. Sesetengah tragedi yang berlaku juga mengakibatkan kehilangan nyawa manusia. Contohnya, robohnya Jambatan Tay pada 1879 telah meragut nyawa lebih kurang enam puluh orang. Selain daripada masalah yang berkaitan dengan reka bentuk dan pembinaanya, mungkin juga kegagalan untuk mematuhi etika kejuruteraan merupakan ssebahagian daripada penyebab tragedi-tragedi ini. Pertumbuhan keprofesionalan kejuruteraan dalam kurun ke-sembilan belas memberikan pertumbuhan pesat terhadap perkembangan beberapa pertubuhan kejuruteraan yang terkenal, seperti Institut Jurutera Elektrikal Amerika (American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE)-1884), Institut Jurutera Perlombongan Amerika (American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME) -1871) dan sebagainya. Sebaliknya, dalam memberi respons terhadap kegagalan struktur yang signifikan di atas, beberapa persatuan kejuruteraan telah membangunkan beberapa kod etika formal. Berdasarkan kepada pertubuhan-pertubuhan ini, jurutera Bangladesh (yang sebelum ini dikenali sebagai Pakistan Timur) menubuhkan Institut Jurutera Bangladesh (Institution of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB)). Jurutera Malaysia pula menubuhkan Lembaga Jurutera Malaysia (Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)). Kedua-dua pertubuhan ini mempunyai kod etika masing-masing. Agama Islam juga menyenaraikan beberapa etika yang perlu diikuti. Dengan mendalami ayat-ayat Al-Quran dan hadis Rasullullah yang berkaitan, kertas ini bertujuan menekankan etika-etika Islam dan juga mengkaji kod etika kedua-dua pertubuhan ini dan membuat perbandingan. Kertas ini mungkin merumuskan bahawa walaupun kod etika IEB dan BEM disokong oleh etika Islam, namun beberapa pendekatan harus diubah.

The Archaeological Conservancy, the only national nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the acquisition of cultural resource sites for preservation and future re search, celebrated ten years of operation in January 1990. Since its founding, the Conservancy has acquired 57 sites in eleven states. In the Caddoan Cultural Area, the Conservancy currently owns four sites (Grobin Davis in Oklahoma [34MC253], and Hale [41TT12], Fasken (41RR14], and Hudnall-Pirtle [41 RK4] in Texas} and holds a conservation easement for Cabe Mounds (41BW14), near Texarkana, Texas. While the Conservancy's major focus for permanent preservation is the acquisition of sites to hold as archeological preserves, professional archeologists may be permitted to conduct research on Conservancy holdings by submitting a valid research design for board approval. All Conservancy preserves in Northeast Texas will be actively managed under the guidelines of a 100 year management plan which will be individually drafted for each site, and will include the participation of a committee of active professional and avocational archeologists.

There is a growing focus today in universities on enriching extra--curricular opportunities for students. In engineering departments, these include international exchange, community service learning, and work with organizations such as Engineers Without Borders.During the same period, the move towards outcomes-based accreditation requirements by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has challenged institutions to deliver curricular interventions and measure their effectiveness on their graduating classes. As the CEAB is exploring new pedagogical approaches for developing young engineers’ acumen in the areas of leadership, communication, and design, this paper examines the impact of overseas work experience in “extreme” inter-cultural settings on those same attributes.We define an extreme experience as marked not only by what students are doing, but also the geographic and socio-economic context in which they must practice. When students are exposed to situations that defy their expected norms, instincts, and social cues, we expect a resulting cognitive adaptation and growth in collaborative technological interactions. Being engineers, they will manifest this learning when tackling future complex,human-centred design problems.In this study, students who have had an extreme inter-cultural experience are tasked, upon their return, with a team-based design challenge, and then compared with students who have completed an equally engaging but local activity. We propose a methodology for identifying changes in performance on various CEAB outcome areas through the use of qualitative in-situ observation, interviews, and analysis of design outputs. Participants will be surveyed in order to identify specific mechanisms that triggered and contributed to the observed professional development while overseas.Preliminary results are expected on what mechanisms result in observed changes as measured through the CEAB accreditation lens. These results will inform pedagogy and decisions on the integration of similar experiential mechanisms into the engineering curriculum to accelerate student learning and develop the engineering leaders of tomorrow.

At the request of a private landowner that has property within the boundaries of the proposed Lower Bois d’Arc Creek Reservoir in Fannin County, we completed volunteer archaeological survey investigations on a portion of this tract of private land on July 18, 2015. The proposed Lower Bois d’Arc Creek Reservoir is to be more than 16,500 acres in size; the project sponsor is the North Texas Municipal Water District, and the Tulsa District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently reviewing the project sponsor’s application for a Department of the Army permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to construct the reservoir and associated facilities. Although the project area associated with the proposed reservoir is more than 17,000 acres, only 5,000 acres of the proposed project have received an archaeological survey. Based on consultation between the project sponsor, the Texas Historical Commission, and the Tulsa District, the remainder of the project area will apparently not receive archaeological survey investigations. The private lands we have investigated along Bois d’Arc Creek in the proposed reservoir area have not been examined previously by a professional archaeological survey team; these lands will be inundated by the flood pool of the reservoir as currently proposed. The landowner had contacted the Tulsa District in 2008 to inform them that there were archaeological sites on the property, but the Tulsa District has yet to follow up on that information.

In 21st century, the major challenge in engineering education in India is to meet the demands of technical profession and emerging job market. Now a days the education pattern, nature of jobs and services are fast changing across the world. Skill is becoming a commodity that can be bought from low-cost providers anywhere across the globe. Also in the digital world, knowledge is no longer confined to experts only, rather computer and internet connectivity has empowered every citizen to look for anything and everything. In this context, the engineering education of any country is very critical/crucial for determining its global positioning as well as ensuring the prosperity of their citizens. So engineering education system should be modified to enable our students to develop the skills like creativity and innovation, communication, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, collaboration and teamwork. Communication and collaboration are identified as an essential competencies by almost all of the organizations who are seeking competent employees. All the professional/accreditation bodies like Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), Washington Accord or National Board of Accreditation (NBA), India have already elaborately stated about the students learning outcomes, program educational outcomes, list of competencies, professional/ ethical responsibilities of engineers/ engineering educators/ academic institutions. 
 The aim of this study is to define parameters for measuring competence required for engineering faculty and students in meeting the global standards. The study also focused to discuss current scenario of Indian engineering education system giving special attention to Kerala. Also, the study aspired to develop a competence measuring model.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 is stimulating development of quantitative feedback systems in the context of Engineering education. Efforts in developing feedback loops that carry quantitative information to facilitate the improvement of student learning in several engineering majors is summarized. Feedback loops are designed around the course learning objectives that were developed in the context of professional criteria specified by professional societies as well as ABET EC 2000 criteria 2 and 3, which define capabilities that all engineers must gain. Two feedback structures are described – one brings information from external sources such as alumni, employers, and the external advisory board, while the other moves information up and down the pedagogical prerequisite tree. Both loops go through the ABET/curriculum committee for assessment of progress and identification of needed changes. The tool developed to facilitate communication up and down the prerequisite tree is the course evaluation form, on which student and faculty assess students' mastery of the learning objectives. This form is passed through feedback loops that operate on many scales. Progress toward implementation is described, with emphasis on service courses that see student flow between different departments.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to summarize current research in engineering ethics education and interpret it within the Canadian engineering and accreditation context. Outcome 3.1.10 of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board is that upon graduation students have an "ability to apply professional ethics, accountability, and equity". Yet teaching students to memorize a few canons and acts does little to help them recognize and resolve ethical conflicts effectively. The ability to apply their knowledge implies that students have had practice recognize ethical conflicts, interpret the positions of stakeholders, and designing solutions that address the myriad of ethical viewpoints that stakeholders may have. Our engineering acts, bylaws, and codes of conduct affirm that Engineering is about more than just crunching numbers, it is about serving the needs of society and creating solutions that work. In order to learn this, young engineers need opportunities to experience, explore, and resolve ethical dilemmas and in doing so develop a deeper understanding of the impact of engineering on society.

Full textAbstract:
An accreditation board takes the responsibility of evaluating an institute’s engineering program, granting it accreditation upon the satisfaction that it meets a minimum standard in terms of academic and professional quality of the faculty, laboratories, equipment, computing facilities, and students’ work within the engineering curriculum. In Canada, the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) ensures that engineering programs meet the necessary educational standards as acceptable for licensure, and that engineering education delivered by the institute continues to improve. In recent years, accreditation boards have prescribed “outcome-based” assessments of engineering design curriculums. These criteria focus on the ability of students to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering science, extending to designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, as well as developing a system, component, or process to meet certain needs. A recent approach that has been introduced to provide a better learning experience for engineering students and to educate them as well-rounded engineers to be able to develop complex, value-added engineering products and processes is the CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) approach. This approach has been adapted by several universities within their engineering departments. But should a program’s compliance with the CDIO standards warrant automatic compliance with CEAB (Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board) accreditation standards? Following the CDIO approach and using the outcome-based standards of accreditation boards may suggest so. Herein, we will provide an assessment of the Mechanical Engineering program in terms of the CDIO approach and look at its relationship with the CEAB standards.

Full textAbstract:
Good design means at least safe design. There is no doubt that engineering students have to develop the ability to design for safety in order to satisfy the expectations of the profession and of employers. According to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, an appropriate exposure to safety and health must be part of any engineering curriculum. Design for safety principles can be taught in project-based courses. Those courses provide real-world contexts for the development of design for safety skills. Design minima established in standards, regulations, and handbooks can easily be integrated throughout the curriculum in engineering science courses. In association with safety, engineering science courses may go beyond the application of standards and guidelines and prepare the student to become a better designer. The Case Study approach is a very interesting pedagogical tool for engineering education and can be introduced in the most engineering courses. When based on real work incidents and investigation reports, case studies become a perfect instrument to expose students to safety as professional engineers should apply it. To illustrate the idea, this paper presents an example of a case study based on an incident that occurred with a scissor lift. This particular case was introduced in a machine design course and helped students to link safety concepts with machine design contents.

Scientists in the national level water research organizations are facing problem to submit technical reports in time on account of their insufficient knowledge about the software used for analysis of the field data. The line departments working in the water sector are in need to enhance knowledge and to build the required capacity on the software to present the scenario in the form of technical reports and interpretation of the facts thereto. Therefore, the effective management of the scientific trainings especially on the software is mandatory for achieving the desired goal of any scientific organization. An effective management of the technical trainings would useful to strengthen the professional competence of the officials working in the various Regional and State Unit offices of Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), which would ensure the stakeholders participation to achieve the set of objectives of the organization as well. Being national level apex body, the CGWB is entrusted with the responsibilities of providing scientific inputs for sustainable management, exploration, monitoring, assessment, augmentation and regulation of groundwater resources of the country. CGWB is consisting of Hydrogeologists, Geophysicists, Chemists, Hydrologists, Hydrometeorologists and Engineers and its headquarters is located at Faridabad, Haryana. Major groundwater oriented activities undertaking by CGWB include research and development (R&D) studies, exploratory drilling programme, monitoring of groundwater regime followed by judicious management. The Rajiv Gandhi National Ground Water Training and Research Institute (RGNGWTRI), the training institute under CGWB is the training and research institute of CGWB and is envisaged to function as a `Centre of Excellence’ for imparting training to the personnel associated with the groundwater sector with an objective to develop a pool of trained resource persons, who would be working towards sustainability of this precious natural resources. The aims and objectives, performance problems, various environmental, motivational and behavioural problems have been considered for the Management of Training (MoT). The paper includes the major components like Training and Non-training Recommendations, Training Plan, Priority List and Design Brief. The paper recommends training and non-training implications along with training design. The post training external validation is a step of MoT, which to be carried out after obtaining report on the performance of the trainees from Line Managers or Senior Manager.
