I How is the statue being made,and what is it being made from? Rick Gilliam, the engineer overseeing the logistics, admitted that he and his colleagues had fried their brains trying to figure out how the tonne monster could be lowered onto the stone plinth that will support it.

We couldn't think on a lowJoader wouldn't be a problem. How do you prevent engineers, but from the stonemasons, who the crane's slings from getting trapped had affectionately been nicknamed the 'cavemen'. Before you listen, explain what is meant by the following terms and try to guess what the three possible solutions are. How do their ideas compare with yours? Why is each suggestion rejected? Alternatively Anotheroptionwouldbe We could Read their idea on page 99 and compare it with your solution.

What external factors could cause some problems with their idea? How could these be solved? They are discussingthe gantry crane due to be installed at the plant. Listen to the conversationand answerthe following questions.

Listen to the conversation and compare their answers with yours. I What are the advantages of using preformed holes in terms of cost and timescale? Label ttrem Q or according to the key in Exercise 9e.

Why don't we dip them in paint? Couldn'tit be cut by hand, using a hacksaw? Why don't we use it for wiring, instead of copper? I'd suggest stripping the whole thing down and cleaningit by hand.

Couldn'tthey checkeverysingleproduct? Discuss technical issues, cost and timescale, and rank the solutions in order of feasibility. I ls a diamond drill really needed to go through reinforcedconcrete? Surely you can drill into concretewith an ordinarv hammer-actiondrill?

Wouldn'tthat reducethe cost? Then, once the bolts are fixed, the space around them could be filled with cement. Then they could be positionedto suit the locationof the preformed holes in the wall. That way,it wouldn'tmatter if the holes in the walls were slightlyout of position. The beams could then be supportedon these,and no holes would be requiredthroughthe concrete.

Over words and phrases are presented to help engineers or engineering students better communicate in English on the job, using a format designed to make self-study more intuitive-- words and expressions are explained on the left-hand pages, and practice activiities are on the right hand pages.

With examples illustrating key concepts and algorithms, and exercises involving theoretical derivations, numerical problems and modeling systems, it is ideal for single-semester, graduate courses in process systems engineering. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning.

Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education , in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing.
