Developments and information generated by production, engineering, research, financial, legal, public relations, and top management are often vital in shaping sales operations. The competitive challenge of the 1970 s will require full use of the informality and ready access that typify medium size organizations.

Neuroengineering researchers are employed by universities, medical institutions, industry (medical devices, pharmaceutical, biotechnology), and governmental agencies. They work as physicians, clinical engineers, product engineers, researchers, managers, or teachers.

The non-storage oscilloscope can be found in most electronic test situations, from sophisticated research laboratories to production engineering plants. The storage unit is most widely used in medical work and in electromechanical applications, particularly where very high-speed transients need to be recorded, while, as noted above, the sampling type finds its main use in the evaluation of ultra-high-frequency equipment. 

The photovoltaics industry could expand rapidly if the efficiency of polycrystalline modules could be increased to 15 percent, if these modules could be built with assurance of reliability over a 10- to 20-year period, and if they could be manufactured for 100 or less per square meter. Solar energy research has been largely directed toward only one of these issues efficiency. All research aimed at reducing manufacturing costs has been done in industry and has been largely empirical. Almost no fundamental engineering research has been done on either the laboratory scale or the pilot plant scale for cost-effective processes for the production of photoconverters. 

In the electronics industry, a large number of relatively small firms play a key role in generating new process concepts and equipment. These firms face important research problems in fundamental science and engineering that would benefit markedly from the insights of academic chemical engineering researchers. Academic researchers should seek out and forge links to these small firms that stand at the crucial step between laboratory research and production processes. Potential mechanisms for accomplishing this are described in Chapter 10. 

It is possible that greater porosity in shale beds could be achieved by chemical comminution of the shale. For example, the treatment of western oil shales with acid solutions might result in comminution by inducing corrosive stress fracture of the carbonate rock. Chemical engineering research in this area, as well in the elucidation of oil-rock interactions, might provide insights for new strategies for oil shale production. 

Better models can replace laboratory or field tests that are difficult or costly to perform or identity cracial experiments that should be carried out. In either case, they will significantly enhance the scope and productivity of chenucal engineering researchers in academia and industry. 

From an engineering perspective, recycled materials should be used in such a manner that the expected performance of the product will not be compromised. Waste and byproduct materials, however, differ vastly in their types and properties and, as a result, in the end-use applications for which they may be suited. Experience and knowledge regarding the use of these materials vary from material to material as well as from facility to facility. To recover these materials for potential use, engineers, researchers, generators, and regulators need to be aware of the properties of the materials, how they can be used, and what limitations may be associated with their use. 

At this level, research focuses on planning, production engineering and management, supply of material resources, transport waste material processing and maintenance. Energy flows are closely related to the running of these activities that may be affected by production plans, scheduling times and parameters.
