Engineering arts and sciences

There are three basic engineering fields of knowledge. These are called the engineering arts and sciences. They are the mechanical arts and sciences, the chemical arts and sciences, and the electrical arts and sciences. Every specific engineering discipline, such as petroleum engineering, utilizes one of the basic engineering fields of knowledge as their scholarly foundation.

This has been despite the fact that the UK has developed with a culture that is indifferent to engineering, the respectable professions being those such as law or medicine offering more money and prestige. This deeply rooted attitude was supported by an education system in which on the whole applied science - engineering - was not studied in schools or universities. This contrasts with the rest of world, where such studies were an important part of the curricula of many schools and universities as early as the eighteenth century. Engineering was not considered suitable for those with the ability to enter a university, where arts and sciences were studied. 

Robert A. Brown is Warren K. Lewis Professor of Chemical Engineering and Provost at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his B.S. (1973) and M.S. (1975) from the University of Texas, Austin, and his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1979. His research area is chemical engineering with specialization in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena, crystal growth from the melt, microdefect formation in semiconductors and viscoelastic fluids, bifurcation theory applied to transitions in flow problems, and finite element methods for nonlinear transport problems. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 

Forensic Engineering— The art and science of professional practice of those qualihed to serve as engineering experts in matters before the courts of law or in arbitration proceedings. ... 

The control scheme described is just one of a wide variety. In the past few years, the art and science of column control have developed rapidly, and now control system design tends to be the prerogative of the specialist control engineer. 

The 7th international symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering represents another milestone in the advancement of the art and science of the chemical reactor. Forty-six contributed papers are presented here nineteen from Western Europe, five from Asia and Australia, one from Canada, and twenty-one from the United States. The Symposium continues to be dominated by university professors—only six papers have one or more coauthors from industry. If chemical reaction engineering is to serve industry, strong messages from industry are needed in the future. A bridge cannot give good service if there is a massive pier on one shore and a flimsy one on the other. 

Filling the Mold Cavity to Form the Product. The mold cavity is designed and machined to form the shape of the finished product. This is itself a complete art and science, based partly on experience, and increasingly on computerized engineering principles. Some major considerations are fast uniform flow, avoidance of degradation, minimization of orientation/anisotropy, fast cooling/ solidification, shrinkage and dimensional tolerances, and of course final properties of the product. 

Jean M. J. Frechet (right) obtained his first degree at the Institut de Chimie et Physique Industrielles (now CPE) in Lyon, France, and Ph.D. degrees at SUNY-CESF and Syracuse University. Following academic appointments at the University of Ottawa (1973-1986) and Cornell University (1987-1996), he joined the department of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Frechet is a member of the National Academy of Science, the National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research is concerned with functional polymers from their design and synthesis to their applications. 

He was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences since 1978, sitting on its board as chairman of its Forestry and Forest Industry Sciences section from 1982 to 1985. He was elected to the World Academy of Art and Science in 1987, and was named a TAPPI Fellow in 2002. 

To-day, the arts and sciences go hand in hand the engineer and the chemist, each recognising the limits of his own domain, though the line dividing them may often be difficult to define, co-operate with one... 

The editors of these books are leading engineers and scientists from all parts of the world. All of them were asked to present their books in such a manner as to address the market needs and pinpoint the cutting-edge technologies in food engineering. Furthermore, all contributions are written by internationally renowned experts who have both academic and professional credentials. All authors have attempted to provide critical, comprehensive, and readily accessible information on the art and science of a relevant topic in each chapter, with reference lists for further information. Therefore, each book can serve as an essential reference source to students and researchers in nniversities and research institutions. 

Ad van der Avoird studied chemical engineering at the Technical University in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, from 1959 to 1964. From 1964 to 1967 he worked at the Battelle Institute in Geneva, Switzerland, and from 1967 to 1971 at the Unilever Research Laboratory in Vlaardin-gen, where in 1968 he became Head of the Molecular Physics section. In 1968 he obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Technical University in Eindhoven and in the same year he became Part-time Professor at the University of Nijmegen. In 1971 he became Full Professor of Theoretical Chemistry in Nijmegen. Since 1979 he is a member of the Netherlands Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and since 1997 a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
