What is a Mechanical Engineer? Think about what you did today. Did you switch on a light, turn on a tap, flush a toilet, open a door, take an elevator or escalator, travel in a bus, train, plane or car, or use a computer? Every one of these activities was influenced by a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers are concerned with the principles of motion, energy and force. Generally, a machine converts one form of movement into another. It is the responsibility of engineers to design machines whose parts and assemblies function in a safe and reliable, efficient and predictable fashion. In the words of one author, the mechanical engineer applies scientific method to the solution of mechanical problems. Indeed, the numerous laws and principles developed by scientists are the everyday tools of the mechanical engineer. Anything the engineer does that is related to the motion and dynamics of heat, gas, air, fluids and solid materials requires the understanding and application of science. Mechanical Engineers Make a Difference... Mechanical engineers contribute to many industries and occupations, encompassing many specialties. Some mechanical engineers work in areas not usually considered to require engineering. Efforts to clean up and preserve the earth's environment have attracted many mechanical engineers to projects involving the treatment of water, soil and waste material. Mechanical engineers also work alongside physicians, therapists and other medical professionals to investigate the workings of the human body and to design aids and instruments for medicine. Other mechanical engineers work closely with trainers, coaches and athletes on the design of sporting equipment.

For Release January 3, 2002 Contact: Donald Lehr - The Nolan/Lehr Group 74731.2172@compuserve.com National Engineers Week: February 17-23, 2002 Activities Roundup Founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers, National Engineers Week is celebrated annually by thousands of engineers, engineering students, teachers, and leaders in government and business. The National Engineers Week consortium includes more than 100 engineering, scientific, and education societies, and major corporations dedicated to increasing public awareness and appreciation of engineering. Co-chairs for 2002 are the American Society of Civil Engineers, celebrating its 150 th anniversary, and DuPont, celebrating its 200 th anniversary. Increasingly, National Engineers Week has focused on sharing the importance of engineering with young people. The National Engineers Week Committee believes that the sooner young people consider engineering as a viable career option, the earlier they can begin to make educational choices such as taking sufficient math and science courses in middle and high school that will allow them to pursue engineering and technical studies in college. As part of that effort, National Engineers Week 2002 activities feature two exciting youth initiatives.

Roman Do you remember someone who took an interest in you when you began your engineering career? Perhaps a senior member in your department, your first boss, or friends and co-workers you met your first few days on the job? Almost everyone can identify one caring person who mentored and guided them through the rough spots and showed them the ropes. Should you now consider returning the good deed done for you? You may find that being a mentor will make you a better leader. Connecting Work to the Corporate World All engineers need to see the relevance of their work and understand how it influences their company, especially young engineers. Sure, they probably have a good intuitive feel for how engineers influence product design, manufacturing, packaging and perhaps even cost. But few appreciate how their interactions with customers actually influence the marketing and sale of new products and services.

Girls and Engineering Brenda, a Design and Discovery participant, saw the need for a better alarm clock. Here’s how she engineered a solution. What do people hate most about alarm clocks? "They're loud and annoying. And they wake up everybody, not just the person who needs to get up early," says a middle school student named Brenda. Because she shares a bedroom with her sister, she knows just how irritating it can be to have one clock disrupting two people. While taking a summer camp enrichment course that uses the Design and Discovery curriculum, Brenda set out to build a better alarm clock. In the process, she learned about engineering and design, how to conduct consumer surveys, and how to carry out product testing. And she has also set her career sights on the field of engineering. "I used to think engineering was boring," she admits, "but now I know that it's interesting and also fun."

ERELI: Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the State Department briefing room, where we have a special guest, Director Andrew Natsios of the United States Agency for International Development, will be briefing us on reconstruction in Iraq. Director Natsios will be bringing to us what we think are some really newsworthy success stories of partnership and progress in Iraq with U.S. assistance and Iraqi, sort of ingenuity, know-how and commitment. With that, I'll introduce Director Natsios, who will have a few remarks of introduction, and then take your questions. ADMINISTRATOR NATSIOS: School starts tomorrow in Iraq, on the 4th, and when kids return to school they'll find the following things that are very new: 1,595 schools have been completely rehabilitated and reconstructed. These schools, in many cases, had been abandoned for years; in other cases, they had been looted; in other cases, simply, they had fallen into disrepair the electrical wiring had been ripped out, the plumbing had been ripped out, the water systems were not functional, there was no electricity; the ceiling fans, which are critically important, what's in 125 degree temperature in the schools in many months during the year, which if the fans don't function, it's difficult for the kids to stay awake.

Ethics Education for the Military Engineer by - Major Mark L. Nowack USAF I. INTRODUCTION II. ENCOURAGING ETHICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE Concern for ethical behavior in the civilian engineering profession has grown tremendously in recent years. The profession is attempting to clarify the responsibilities and rights of engineers, and provide some measure of protection for engineers, thereby encouraging ethical choices in difficult situations. A common approach to incorporating ethical practice into the engineering profession has been the development of a code of practice. As early as 1912, codes of practice have been employed primarily to clarify professional responsibilities and expectations. More recent codes also address responsibility to the public interest such as truth, honesty, and fairness. In other words, they are designed to help the practicing engineer make moral decisions, but they do a poor job of this. Codes can be problematic since they are sometimes restrictively short, self-conflicting, and have limited legal authority. Moreover, their proliferation tends to compartmentalize professional ethics. They apply narrowly to the engineering practice concerned. That is, their scope may not include the issues faced, say, by the engineer in management. In light of these problems, it is noteworthy that industry is calling on the education system to provide additional ethical training for future engineers.

LOG IN Stories > Engineers in School Engineerers in Schools The idea with this initiative is for the Engineering Fellows to bring concepts from their research into the classrooms. Working with their teacher partners and Teaching Advisors, each Fellow is creating lesson plans that will be implemented during this school year. Below are descriptions of each engineer's project. Aynih Hermann Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry I work with a group of scientists at the Columbia Genome Center to develop novel high-throughput technologies mainly in the field of DNA sequencing, mutation detection, and immunoassay. The center is equipped with the latest technology, such as a MegaBACE sequencer, a colony-picking robot, and mass spectrometry. Every year, a small group of high school students visit the center to learn more about DNA and the principles behind DNA cloning, amplification, and sequencing. They also do hands-on laboratory work involving advanced equipment and software. I hope to videotape the lectures and workshops and create a movie that will explain the basic principles of DNA and illustrate the latest technology in DNA sequencing, which will then be available to all the GK12 classrooms. Chris Burke Civil Engineering Christopher Burke Civil Engineering My discipline, geotechnical engineering, concerns the application of civil engineering technology to some aspect of the earth. Usually the geotechnical engineer is concerned only with the natural materials found at or near the surface of the earth, which are called soil and rock. Because my research is specialized and focused, while the concepts taught at K12 classrooms are broad and general, I am trying to find the links between my research and typical classroom activities. I plan to start with one AP Physics class that I am visiting each week. I will start with some small activities-for instance, using some semantic mapping activities-to find out what students know about engineers, and from there, help them get a general idea of different but interconnected engineering fields. I will introduce some basic branches of civil engineering, then shift focus to aspects of geotechnical engineering such as soil mechanics, foundation engineering, etc.
