Shifting into higher gear

Article Abstract:

In the 80's, courses in engineering became increasingly more intensive due to the rapid and extensive developments in the subject, and it earned the name of being the most overloaded subject studied in university. Applications for places fell and the rewards seemed meager. The difficulties in relating UK university engineering education with chartered status and European practice has led to suggestions that the undergraduate course should be extended to four or possibly five years. Length of course is not the only changes proposed; the development of interpersonal skills, project management, problem solving and the like should also be given due weight.

Hidden secret of the kings of disguise

Article Abstract:

Harry Nyquist was born in Sweden, although he emigrated to the US when he was 18. His work lies at the heart of much modern technology, including communication systems, CD players and factory automation. He worked for the American Telegraph and Telephone Company (AT&T), where he developed the Nyquist rate of signalling speed. Another first was the closed loop system for feedback. His work helped the development of gun mechanisms in World War 2, leading to Gulf War weapons and industrial robots.

Assault on turbulence

Article Abstract:

Turbulence is an issue that has long fascinated scientists, and it is important in a number of engineering systems and natural phenomena. The development of computer power has led to advances in this field, and full-scale trials have become less important. There are still aspects of turbulence that are incompletely understood. The European research Community for Flow Turbulence and Combustion is one body that is sponsoring research into this area.
