Thermally assisted manufacturing processes require specific tool and process design that is tailored to undertake thermo-fluid dynamics and part variation. Therefore, most of the tooling designs for such processes start at the solid model but then rely heavily on best practices and experience. To allow for a level of flexibility against variations, an automatic controller is added to monitor and adjust...
Ethics of the engineering profession have evolved with the development of the technical side of this field. Engineering-based commercial organizations (EBCO)s are now showing that they are socially responsible by adding an environmental component or some other non-profit similar dimension to their activities. However, questions of how successful or effective these efforts are and what impact they...
This panel discussion seeks to engage engineering professionals in a discussion of their responsibilities and obligations to perform duties in an ethical manner. Specifically, the panel will explore how learned professionals learn about these responsibilities and the potential consequences resulting from different responses to a myriad of unforeseen circumstances. The roles of formal education, continuing...
Employability and professional skills formulate a critical part of engineering education. These skills are strongly emphasized through ABET accreditation requirements for engineering programs. Nevertheless, multiple challenges have been realized as engineering educators tried to incorporate those required professional and non-technical skills into their curricula. Some of these challenges are common...
Educating engineering students on ABET-required professional and nontechnical skills is usually a challenging task. The related challenges include finding a balance between the content, the delivery format, the time of delivery, and location in the curriculum for this material. This paper presents details on a pilot project to deliver professional and academic content to engineering students via distance...
Nanotechnology and nanosciences have recently gained tremendous attention and funding, from multiple entities and directions. In the last 10 years the funding for nanotechnology research has increased by orders of magnitude. An important part that has also gained parallel attention is the societal and ethical impact of nanotechnology and the possible consequences of its products and processes on human...
