The Need for Engineers

The link between industry and the engineering profession is as old as industry itself. The various waves of industrial revolution that have taken place since the mid-eighteenth century have all been fueled by the power of engineering. From the textile 

Industrial and academic collaboration comes in the second place, highhghting the importance of the ability of engineers in the industry to work with their coim-terparts in indirstry and academia to solve problems and develop new products and processes.

Problems of formulating low-sulphur and -phosphorus lubricants The need for engine manufacturers to ensure the durability of exhaust after-treatment devices, and hence to maintain exhaust emission standards, has led to a demand for crankcase lubricants which contain reduced levels of sulphur and phosphorus. These elements are implicated in the reduction in efficiency of such after-treatment devices. 

The need for engineers to work together, to communicate effectively, and to provide leadership in technical endeavors. 

Procedure analysis can be used to examine the steps in a procedure or task. Procedure analysis requires the task to be broken down into individual steps. For each step, the hazards are identified and control measures for each hazard determined. Procedure analysis can be expanded to include the use of reliabilities for individual steps that can be ultimately used to determine over all reliability for completing the job task. This procedure can also be referred to as a Job Safety Analysis. The completed analyses are used to determine safe job procedures, the need for personal protection equipment, and the need for engineering controls. 

In my conclusion. I ll return to die question of the need for engineers in the world and on the role engineers could and should have in achieving the United Nations Millennium development goals formulated by the UNESCO at the Millennium Summit in 2000. 

Performance Systems integrate mechanical, chemical and electronic technologies. An example is Lubrizol s water-blended emulsion fuel system called PuriNOx. PuriNOx is a fill-and-go solution for the simultaneous reduction of both particulate and NOx without the need for engine modifications. Typical results are 50% particulate reduction and 30% NOx reduction by simply switching to PuriNOx fuel, with no other modifications.
