Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers From the Notes of an Engineer The names of De Lesseps, Suez, and Panama, whatever may prove to be the issue of the latter venture, will always remain great among the chapters in the progress of civilization. To review the career of F. De Lesseps and fully appreciate the vast ness of his projects is to become forcibly impressed with the man's extraordinary genius as the projector of startling under takings and his unsurpassed ability as a. Successful promoter. A broad view of his achievements inspires a degree of admiration for this magnetic character only comparable with the intense in terest felt throughout civilized countries regarding the success of his globe-remodeling projects and their important bearing on the interests of commerce and navigation. More minutely scru tinized, however - passing, as it were, from the poetic to the prosaic side of this talented Frenchman's schemes - we meet with some disappointment regarding the execution in detail and probable fate of his last great engineering and speculative un dertaking at Panama. This concern for the future of the canal and for the prestige so long enjoyed by De Lesseps grows but of an impartial attitude toward the undertaking, in which the present condition of things on the Isthmus is contrasted with the original promises officially advertised by De Lesseps and his company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Papers In connection with all subjects there are many points which it is impossible to touch upon when reading a paper. Statements involving numerical results, which may be of great value, are very uninteresting and generally entirely fail to command the attention of an audience; some of these closely bearing on the subject-matter have been introduced at the end of each paper, along with such other explanations as have seemed necessary, and it is trusted they will render the Whole of interest to engineering students. The opinions elicited in the discussions are appended, with the author's replies fully worked out by subsequent thought and experience. Should this volume meet with the same reception from the public as the papers have already received from the scientific press, and from those to whom they have been addressed, the author will feel that his slight endeavours to promote engineering science have been amply rewarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Notes Originality in Engineering notes is out of the question moreover, the best works extant on the subject appear to have borrowed so largely from the same source, or from each other, that it is next to impossible mention ing authorities. The object of this work is to supply an exhaustive digest of all that is known on each subject so far as is necessary and sufficient for an Engineer in practice; the Alphabetical Index will enable him at once to arrive at what he wants without wading through irrelevant matter. The detached form of unconnected paragraphs has been adopted to combine succinctness with perspicuity unattainable by a more discursive style.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Engineering Student's Notes, Technical, Philosophical and Otherwise The subject matter that makes up most of the present book was written between the years 1890 and 1897, and published in the Magazine "Industry," of which publication the writer was the editor during that period. The title assumed at that time was "Extracts from a Note Book-by Techno," began and for some time continued as a means of instructing students and apprentices in the processes of engineering work by a half-humorous treatment that would divest the subject of its usual formal and dry presentment in technical books. The articles met with much commendation, but it was found after five or six chapters had been prepared that the field was too circumscribed, and that the "Extracts" must extend into the outer world and change their form, or cease. A new scheme was adopted in the sixth article, where the present revision begins, omitting, with a few exceptions, so much as would fail to have interest for non-technical readers.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture Notes on Some of the Business Features of Engineering Practice In preparing the second edition of my Lecture Notes certain additions have been suggested by the experience of the classroom and by changes, almost revolutionary, which have taken place in the industrial field. As explained in the introduction to the first edition, the lectures and papers contained In Reprints were collected originally for the purpose of cultivating in the students a sympathetic attitude of mind toward the more specific instruction to follow. Experience in the classroom has shown that these papers can also be usefully employed as suggestive material for experience talks. Therefore, with the added addresses, they have been included in this volume as Part I. In Part II I have brought together my own lecture notes which appeared originally in the first edition of these Notes and its sev eral supplements. Much of this material has been rearranged to bring it into better sequence; and portions have been rewritten wholly or in part. Considerable new material has been added, particularly on the all-important subject of depreciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Engineer's Note Book: Essays on Life and Letters That evening, early in November, as the car climbed the last ridges hiding the lake, the conversation had been concerned mainly with walking and the possibility of popularizing an apparently obsolete pastime in a country containing so many automobiles. "At one time," I remarked, "I was fond of saying that walking tours were impossible in the United States because there weren't, in any universal sense, roads to walk on. I had been told that in many sections the railroad ties were the only means of footing it to the next town. However, that doesn't hold good if a flivver can go clear across to Seattle, Washington. And these Jersey roads we have come over are quite all right." Some one muttered that once you got off the pike you never knew what sort of horrible fate was in store for you. "True anywhere." I argued. "That's one of the fine reasons for quitting the pike. You cease to be merely one of a continuous stream of automobiles all trying to tear past each other and dwelling forever in one another's dust." "But does anybody walk nowadays?" asked another member of the party as yet unspoiled by foreign travel. "Indeed they do." was the immediate reply.

Download or read book Contracts for Engineers written by Robert D. Hunter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineers encounter different types of contracts at nearly every turn in their careers. Contracts for Engineers: Intellectual Property, Standards, and Ethics is a tool to enhance their ability to communicate contractual issues to lawyers—and then better understand the legal advice they receive. Building on its exploration of contracts, this book expands discussion to: Patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property issues Development of standards and the bodies that govern them, as well as conformity assessment and accreditation Ethics at both the micro and macro levels—a concept under major scrutiny after several major disasters, including the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig, and a coal-mining accident that resulted in many deaths With a brief introduction to common law contracts and their underlying principles, including basic examples, the book presents a sample of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) regarding the sale of goods. It evaluates elements of the different contracts that engineers commonly encounter, such as employee and associated consulting agreements and contracts involved in construction and government. Approaching intellectual property from a contract perspective, this reference focuses on the many different types of patents and their role in commerce. It touches on the application of trademarks and recent developments in the use of copyright as a form of contract and explains the process of obtaining patents, including the rationale for investing in them. Ethical standards receive special attention, which includes a review of several prominent professional codes of ethics and conduct for both organizations and individual engineers, particularly officers and higher-level managers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Engineer's Holiday, or Notes of a Round Trip From Long; 0 to 0: In Two Parts; Part I., West; Part II., East A tour of the World makes many radical changes in those ideas about foreign countries which are insensibly gathered in the course of time from the reading of books and newspapers. I landed in America, a prospective admirer of its people and institutions, and left it, after five months' stay, charmed with the courteous kindness of its private citizens, astonished at the breadth and boldness of the national mind, and convinced that, so far as power and prosperity are concerned, the great republic is on its way to become the foremost nation of the modern world. But I looked for political enthusiasm, intellectual aspiration, and re publican simplicity of life among the people of the United States. I found politics a close profession, material well-being the goal of ambition, and luxury rampant among the rich. I believed that the Japanese were, next to the white races, the most advanced people in the world, whose' intelligent appreciation of a civilization higher than their own had led to the overthrow of a remotely ancient social and political system, too rigid for Western ideas of progress. I found them cultured, courteous, and charming; but insincere and reactionary in policy, un - busi ness-like and untrustworthy in affairs.
