Supersonic transport

The public is the single most important factor in designing a product for the market. It is even put as number one in the engineering code of ethics for software engineers. As an engineer you have a responsibility to society to make the product safe. Vehicles can be dangerous machines but with the technology available today engineers have made these vehicles safer than ever before. I believe that there is still room for improvement and it must be exploited to the fullest extent to keep society…

Misconception of Combat Support Function Support and lead from the front 1SG! Wow, can supporting the Combined Arms Battalion become the most challenging aspect of my next few years. The element of overwhelming complexity and inspirational mentorship not only tested my leadership ability but also tested my aptitude of the forward support company concept (FSC). From standing the company up with two Soldier’s to over 200, then grappling with setting the first integrated FSC concept into 2-34…

like a straight forward issue on the surface. However, through the course of research on the subject, findings point to minimal attention on the matter. It can be identified that even though we have increased the speed and efficiency of patient transport more needs to be done in the science of ergonomics in movement. As late as 2014 papers still highlight gaps in information and training for those persons tasked with transporting patients. The data gathered in the study by McNeill, et al brought…

A car driving by itself to California, Brazil, Canada. What an interesting thought. This thought is becoming a reality seeing as the driver less car already exists. There is a lot of controversy around this driver less car on whether or not it should become a reality. Although many critics say that the driver less car is a crazy idea, the driver less car would be a great idea because of how beneficial they are all over the world. Driver less cars are an exemplary idea because they are extremely…

Good time management skills is imperative for owner operators in the trucking industry. Without this one important skill the driver’s business is most definitely going to flounder. As a high school student and early adult I never had set time schedules for anything, and most times I was late for appointments. Those times are now in my rearview mirror and I will never return to that way of life again. My lesson in time management was a swift and tough battle when I started my career as a…

It is hard to believe that anyone would murder hundreds just to have their message heard, but that is the definition of terrorism. Terrorism is more than just a physical effect and a body count, it also can have a crippling effect on the mental state of millions. Terrorism creates fear in things that people once thought were perfectly safe, and one of the biggest fears created is on travel. Travel is a driving force in the world economy. The effects of terrorism can be felt on several fronts…

toothpaste is a rather lengthy one. Most people simply think of the raw materials that are put into the toothpaste, but what about the tube itself? Most people just consider the resources that are put into the paste, but what about the energy used to transport those resources or to mix them together. Perhaps one has considered the tube and the energy that was put into making it, but how about the energy put into marketing and maneuvering it to be sold? There are far too many areas in this…

Based on the sample schedule above, the Maersk Ohio spent 178.2 hours in port ( 7 days 10 hours) and 493.8 hours at sea ( 20 days 14 hours). Using the metric of 8760 hours in a year, the Maersk Ohio could theoretically complete about 13 voyages a year. The Atlantic crossing, after leaving the East Coast is when the Maersk Ohio typically carries around 3200 TEU’s (Capt Leville). While leaving Le Havre, France we were typically fully loaded with around 4120 to 4140 TEUs (Voyage Abstract). To…

Some Inventions Stick Others Roll Robert Rodriguez’s “Marketing New Inventions” is an essay about inventions not going the way people envisioned. The first example Rodriguez gives is the mother and daughter Fresno duo, who were the first to invent the hide-and-seek Hayley doll, a product that made itself known on many nations’ largest toy stores. However, hide-and-seek Hayley became obsolete once Care Bear came out with their version of the hide-and-seek toy. Getting idea’s stolen is common…

As the goal of this study is to gauge the appeal of purchasing an autonomous Lamborghini car, we had to test what degree of autonomy is most influential in determining its desirability. By degree of autonomy, we mean is the car fully autonomous, where the driver would need to do nothing else except turn the car on and off to get to his/her destination; or is the car semi-autonomous, where the car only has self-parking features. To test our new brand extension idea, we must assess and determine…
