Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.

A Team of Engineers asked for an internal combustion engine to use it in a designed car. Your role is to describe the operation sequence of different types of available engines, explain their mechanical efficiency, and deliver a detailed technical report to show your approach in solving and discussing the following tasks and issues.
You must follow the following steps to help the team:
STEP 1
Describe the operational sequence of four-stroke spark ignition and four-stroke compression ignition engines with the aid of sketches by constructing simple sketch representing the operation and plotting the P-V diagrams for each process during the cycle to show the following:
The input and output heat and net output work
The air-fuel mixture intake and exhaust gasses
The spark plug when it is in the active mode

Literature is not related to a certain region’s culture, tradition, history and people. 2. All written, oral, and multimedia forms of work are considered literature. 3. Poetry commonly utilizes rhymes and figures of speech while prose uses formal sentence structures. 4. Drama is delivered on a theatrical stage with actors and actresses. 5. Fictional works have the same elements of non-fictional works. 6. Facts, information, and statistics are focused on non-fictional works. 7. Human history and advancements were possible without the role literature. 8. The standard of universality conveys that literature must be perpetual and timely. It is forever relevant and it appeals to one and all, anytime, and anywhere. 9.

A firm fixed-price contract was awarded to a qualified vendor. Controls were in place at all levels, and progress reports-noting challenges-were sent to top officials. Top officials reported that progress was excellent, but the project failed due to enormous expenditures with no aircraft developed. Which risks were not adequately considered? 1. Because the requirements were not specific, the use of a firm fixed-price contract made the project risky. II. The personnel at many levels sent false reports forward on cost incurred and progress made. III. The contractor lacked adequate technical skills to deal with technology that was still evolving. IV. Top procurement officials did not act on "red flags" due to a "can do" mentality on a high priority of the program.

A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial weight bearing activities. Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the yield stress for the…arrow_forward

Steam power plants work by removing thermal energy from a fuel source to transform water into steam. The steam that is created is used to turn a turbine. There are a variety of fuel sources that rely on steam to turn turbines to produce electricity. As a material engineer, your role is to select the best materials for the various parts ( Boiler, Turbine, and generator ) in the steam power station as in Figure 1. Your manager assigned you a project to do the following tasks A . Based on the electrical material properties, what will you choose to manufacture the rotor windings coils in the generator (Titanium, Copper, or PVC)? Give reasons for your choice. B. To insulate the outer cover of the generator, what will you use (Aluminium, Steel or PE)? Give reasons for your choice. C. If the blades of the turbine must have the…arrow_forward
