public in ways that many people don't yet appreciate. ‘Most of us in the U.S. commute all alone in a single car--the average American driver spends 51 minutes to and from work every day,’ says Raj Rajkumar, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. ‘This is wasted time and wasted productivity. Driverless cars would be a big win for productivity. You can spend 45 minutes doing something productive, including taking a nap’” (Greenhouse n.pg). With the…

Introduction The overarching goal of this paper is to understand the Deepwater Program SoS engineering and integration failures before the program change in 2007 and develop recommendations for future similar SoS programs that can potentially prevent some of the failures from occurring. In order to achieve the goal of this study, reviews of documents produced by the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports related…

has led to the problem of air pollution. Currently, in India, air pollution is widespread in urban areas where vehicles are the major contributors and in a few other areas with a high concentration of industries and thermal power plants. Vehicular emissions are of particular concern since these are ground level sources and thus have the maximum impact on the general population. Also, vehicles contribute significantly to the total air pollution load in many urban areas. India has made rapid…

Like any other engineering disciple, chemical engineers are deeply interested in bettering the world through innovation. They seek translate their knowledge in mathematics, science, economics and even social insight into actions, and aim to invent, design and construct new perspectives and concepts to tackle the problems we face in the world today. Many tend to associate the term ‘chemical engineer’ with huge process plants and chemical reactors. Whilst this is not an inaccurate reflection of a…

The same can be said for the engineering of motor vehicles. From the simple A to B cars that last forever to land-speed record breaking rocket cars. Trying to limit vehicle engineering is like trying to limit the most basic of human abilities. The only thing that comes from restriction is further innovation. Todd Griffith from blog.cargurus quotes a few car…

need for people all around the globe. Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science (“Technology”) Technology was created to make things simpler and help people with their day to day life. Recently, however, people have taken advantage of technology and used it in a way that has hurt society…

of your vehicle. And, ifyou are not driving a vehicle with powerful engine, you are definitely missing out the comforts of driving a great car.

WHY PICK HOLDEN AFTERMARKET AND PERFORMANCE PARTS FOR YOUR VEHICLE? • Designed to fit your vehicles brand and adjust well with the interiors. • High level of engineering…

The increasingly intensive scarcity of fuel resources is making an energy innovation race among vehicle manufacturers. Therefore, electric vehicle is considered as a sufficient solution for a sustainable transport industry. In the recent year, the number of electric vehicles sold out has been increased significantly throughout the world. This pattern has been formed by the awareness and action on reducing gas emission for the environmental benefits, simultaneously decrease the burden…

Over the course of my high school career I spent countless hours working in the Engineering Department of my school. At least half of the many hours that I spent in these classes I was working with a group to complete various projects and tasks assigned by our teacher. I can recall a project, in my Principles of Engineering class, where we had to design a self-propelled car. In this project my partner and I were presented with various design challenges; one of these such challenges stated that…

In the New York Times article “Carmakers Forge Ahead With Electric Vehicles,” Bill Vlasic illustrates the changing global economy for workers and consumers in regards to major automaker’s new lineups of electric vehicles. In this article, Vlasic draws attention to the efforts by auto manufacturers like Tesla, Chevrolet, Nissan, Volkswagen, and many more, to bring the electric car from the future into your garage. Vlasic discusses in January of 2016 where auto manufacturers stole the spotlight…
