KEY WORDS Mechanical-engineering design; design teaching; staff qualifications; design mentoring. SUMMARY Eleven Australian universities out of a survey population of 26 provided details of undergraduate courses in mechanical-engineering design. There is cause for concern regarding the low total lecture and...
One advantage with a modern brick cell is it may hold a much longer charge than the standard cell since it accommodates a larger and more powerful battery. As mentioned, some are particularly interested in this style because they want a good-sized home phone after they’ve abandoned a land...
It might happen that you start an advanced class and soon realize that it is going to be too much for you. This is normal and can be quickly fixed, provided the deadline to withdraw has not passed. Most importantly, be honest with yourself from day one. If...
Southern Europe. Andrea is also an adjunct professor at IMT—Institute for Advanced Studies—in Lucca (Italy), where he holds a PhD level course on advanced problem-solving techniques. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and prior to joining McKinsey, he worked for Hewlett Packard Italy...
For example, in order to create a cellphone, the efforts of a materials engineer alone would not be sufficient since the phone cannot be made without mechanical, electrical, software and design engineering. However, "the actual device is made of a ...
Different Causes of Strain in Materials? The application of mechanical forces, such as tensile, compressive, and shear forces, mainly causes strain. Another factor is temperature fluctuation, which causes materials to expand or contract due to heating or cooling, inducing strain. Environmental factors...
3D modeling is a computer graphics process of creating a mathematical representation of a 3D object or shape using specialized software. The digital rendering of the physical object is called a 3D model and various industries use them. Industries including architecture, construction, product development...
How can mechanical engineering principles be applied in the design and optimization of complex systems to enhance efficiency, durability, and performance while minimizing cost and environmental impact? Explore the theoretical underpinnings of thermodynamics, fluid...
Mike Prindiville is Vice President of Process Engineering; he’s worked with Intuitive for 21 years. Prindiville’s role is specific to multiport systems—the da Vinci X and Xi systems, and their associated instruments and cameras. “I have one foot in the factory, and the other in design,...
"Professors are always saying how the industry values writing and people skills as much as the technical skills we are learning," she says. Plus, emerging evidence shows that integrating the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math – plus medicine – with t...
