The Excel Solver. Microsoft Excel, beginning with version 3.0 in 1991, incorporates an NLP solver that operates on the values and formulas of a spreadsheet model. Versions 4.0 and later include an LP solver and mixed-integer programming (MIP) capability for both linear and nonlinear problems. The user specifies a set of cell addresses to be independently adjusted (the decision variables), a set of formula cells whose values are to be constrained (the constraints), and a formula cell designated as the optimization objective. The solver uses the spreadsheet interpreter to evaluate the constraint and objective functions, and approximates derivatives, using finite differences. The NLP solution engine for the Excel Solver is GRG2 (see Section 8.7).

Sustainable economies. Economic decisions must be driven not only by short- but also by long-term perspectives in all areas of professional activity, especially engineering as applied to product development and in the innovation process. In an increasingly commercial, market-driven world, this is a challenge. Mechanical Engineers must occupy prominent, influential roles toward a more sustainability-driven economic future. Sustainable, not unlimited, growth is central to future solutions. Engineering educators, industrial leaders and public leaders must work in concert to address this issue. 

Compared to mechanical fastening solutions, engineered laminates offer manufacturers the opportunity to work with fewer fastening components, thereby creating the ability to manufacture products with a more consistent quality in less time. In addition, engineered laminate-fastened solutions usually weigh less than finished products composed of mechanical fasteners.

A collection of requirements define the characteristics or features of the desired system. A good list of requirements generally avoids saying how the system should implement the requirements, leaving such decisions to the system designer. Describing how the system should be implemented may be known as implementation bias or solution engineering. However, implementation constraints on the solution may be validly expressed by the future owner if desired. 

There are clear priorities in the selection of remedies in step 6 (European Council, 1998). Substitution of hazardous chemicals with less hazardous ones is the preferred solution. Engineering solutions to prevent exposure through containment at the source or through the provision of adequate ventilation (extraction/exhaust ventilation preferred to dilution of contaminants) come next in priority. Only if these solutions are not feasible or do not provide adequate protection, does the use of personal protective equipment come into question.
