Reports, design course

The presentation continued by challenging engineering colleges to include safety in design courses of all engineering disciplines. The challenge came from a report of the Safety Committee of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. 

Write a short (one paragraph) audience analysis for a design report in your design course. 

The second project in each pair IProjects 2. 4, and 6) is more like the typical design project that is covered in the senior capstone design course. Here, the student (or group of students) should be familiar with the information given in Sections 1. 2, and 2. and the guidelines for written reports given in Chapter 27 (on this CD). 

This figure is of course an estimate of lost profit and may even be conservative, but it clearly shows that the designer has a significant role in reducing the high costs of failure reported by many manufacturing companies. The results are repeated in the Conformability Matrix in Figure 2.33. 

Schweitz et al. purified four related toxins (Rpl, RpII, RpIII, and RpIV) from sea anemone Radianthus paumotensis (Rp) and studied their pharmacological properties (9). During the course of initial NMR studies, the reported sequence of RpII was found to have errors, and was redetermined (8). Subsequently Metrione et al. determined the sequence of RpIII as well (10). T e other two Rp toxin sequences are yet to be determined. Sequences of the Rp, and several other sea anemone toxins, are shown in Table I. We have used a two letter code to denote the species consistently and this notation differs from the earlier designations of Norton and Wiithrich groups. In our notation. As la and Ax I correspond to ATX la and AP-A, respectively. From alignment of the cystines in these sequences, it is clear that Rp toxins have three disulfide bonds, as do the other toxins. 

The studies at LANL were designed to provide complementary data on the hydrolysis reaction of energetic materials under similar conditions to those employed at HAAP. Gas production was monitored by mass spectroscopy over the course of the reaction, but only N2, N20, NH3, and NO were reported. No measurements were made of total hydrocarbons (THC) in the offgas.
