Engineering: Program Guide

Broadly speaking, engineers design and build machines, structures, and systems. Its four main branches are chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Other significant branches include aerospace engineering, marine engineering, and computer engineering, so students with a career in engineering in mind have a lot to consider when choosing their career path.

Successful engineers need more than strong technical skills; they also need a rock-solid ethical foundation. ENGINEERING ETHICS, Sixth Edition, equips you with the tools for the highest ethical standards and practice. It helps you understand the importance of your conduct as a future professional engineer and shows how your actions can affect the health, safety and welfare of the public and environment. Packed with examples of engineering achievements and failures, it offers intriguing case studies to give you hands-on experience grappling with modern-day ethical dilemmas, and a proven method for analysis walks you step by step through ethical problem-solving techniques.

ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS: AN INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING, 5e helps readers develop the strong problem-solving skills and solid foundation in fundamental principles they will need to become analytical, detail-oriented, and creative engineers. The book opens with an overview of what engineers do, an inside glimpse of the various areas of specialization, and a straightforward look at what it takes to succeed. The book then covers the basic physical concepts and laws that you'll encounter on the job.

A handy resource on the fundamental facts about engineering for both engineers and non-engineers alike, whether you are exploring engineering for the first time, already have a strong background, or fall anywhere in between. Engineering impacts every aspect of our lives. Bridges, buildings, buses, electrical grids, computers, televisions, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and virtually any everyday household item needs to be engineered to function properly. Fundamentally, engineering is about identifying a need and developing solutions that meet that need. Throughout history, engineering ideas and innovative feats have provided solutions to many challenges faced by civilizations. From the Great Wall of China to NASA's space program, The Handy Engineering Answer Book covers the history of the field, details the lives of key figures, introduces the tools engineers use to solve problems, and provides fun facts and answers to a thousand important and interesting questions. The Handy Engineering Answer Book looks at how fundamental engineering is to modern life and society!

This comprehensive introduction to materials engineering and manufacturing processes for BTEC Level 2 students and beginning level 3 students is updated to current European-wide standards, more cases on selection of materials, sustainability and 3D printing, and more on recycling.

This book shows educators how to encourage creativity, communication, innovation, and collaboration in students by incorporating engineering design process thinking into existing classwork. Strategies for supporting engineering practices that foster creative problem-solving and critical thinking are among the topics discussed.

The core of engineering learning is the ability to solve problems in specific fields; thus, engineering courses emerge as places where design thinking is a useful tool in training future engineers.

On August 18-19, 2022, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) held a symposium to explore how support of fundamental engineering and engineering education research by the National Science Foundation (NSF) has led to positive societal and economic impacts. The symposium - which was sponsored by the NSF Directorate for Engineering - was held to provide input to the NAE Committee on Extraordinary Engineering Impacts on Society as part of a larger effort to develop clear, compelling narratives for the public about the sources and effects of engineering innovations. Speakers at the symposium shared their personal stories and provided insights on how engineers influence not only technology and the national infrastructure but the economy, population health, manufacturing, disaster resilience, and many other aspects of daily life. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the symposium.

This volume of Frontiers of Engineering presents papers on the topics covered at the National Academy of Engineering's 2019 US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, hosted by Boeing in North Charleston, South Carolina, September 25-27. At the annual 2 1/2-day event, 100 of this country's best and brightest early-career engineers - from academia, industry, and government and a variety of engineering disciplines - learn from their peers about pioneering work in different areas of engineering. Frontiers of Engineering conveys the excitement of this unique meeting and highlights innovative developments in engineering research and technical work.

This edition presents the articles devoted mainly to materials processing technologies of steel and alloys, materials properties and advanced manufacturing technologies in the related fields of materials. All of them were selected from the 9th International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering (ICMSE2022) which was held in Wuhan, China on December 24-26, 2022. It is one of the leading international conferences for presenting novel and fundamental advances in the field of material science and engineering.
