​ Choosing engineering as a career is one thing, choosing specific engineering field is another thing, apart from being interested in a specific field, one should consider the worth of the field before going for it, am sure as an engineer, we all wish to know our worth in our environment. Now one thing to know is that your worth as an engineer might differ d epending on the level of the development of your environment, for instance in a country that produces most automobiles in the world, mechanical engineers will be very lucky to be in the country.   <!--more-->   Different datas have been gathered and analyzed. Note that information might not be exact for each countries, but will be close to exact, we have so many engineering fields but today will be touching 8 of them. There is no doubt, petroleum engineering is number one 1 Petroleum engineering  is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarb...

PROPERTIES OF PLASTICS AS CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL ​There are various properties of plastics as a construction material which makes it useful buildings and other construction works. Plastics are used in buildings and construction works in many forms. What is Plastic? The Plastic is an organic substance and it consists of natural or synthetic binders or resins with or without molding compounds. It is also used as an engineering material available in the market all over the world. To know the importance of plastics as an engineering material, it will be interesting to know about its properties. Example of Plastics as a Construction Material In Beijing, capital of china, Beijing national aquatic center (water cube) named structure was constructed for the purpose of swimming competitions in 2008 Olympics. The structure consists of steel frames which are covered by ETFE pillows (ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene) which is a  fluorine based plastic . ETFE plastic have high corrosive re...

​Different types of plumbing pipes are used in building construction works for various purposes such as water supply, drainage, waste disposal made of different materials. In every building, sufficient quantity of water should be available at required locations to meet various needs of occupants. So, water needs must be properly computed before the construction of structure. The transmission water is carried through pipes within the structure above or below the ground. At the same we must compute the proper drainage facilities to drain the wastewater through pipes. What is Plumbing System? The Plumbing system comprises the whole system of pipe fittings and appliances used for water supply and drainage. In this supply and drainage system different pipes are used for different purposes which are explained below. Supply or service pipesDrain pipes or waste disposal pipes Supply Pipes or Service Pipes The pipes which are leading from the distribution main of water supply to the ...

Interesting Engineering > Engineering > Energy > New Solar Cell Converts Heat to Light to Break Energy Production Barrier New Solar Cell Converts Heat to Light to Break Energy Production Barrier Energy May 26, 2016TREVOR ENGLISH Trevor English MIT has been working to make solar power more efficient and sustainable for some time now, in fact, not too long ago a research team developed a method of stacking solar cells that would almost double their capture efficiency. Now, a team of engineers at MIT have overcome the limit that was thought to forever define how much energy you could capture from the Sun, the Shockley-Queisser Limit. This Limit essentially states that there is a cap on the amount of power that can be collected by a solar cell due to the wide range of light frequencies, which is around 32 percent, according to Gizmodo. The new solar cells were designed to convert the excess heat energy from the sun into light energy that can be reabsorbed by the solar cell....

Comparing Building Materials: Particle Board, MDF & Plywood Are you searching for the best yet most affordable wood composite to use for your office or home furniture? You may be looking at products on our site and asking " what is the difference between MDF, particle board, and plywood?" You'd be surprised by how many people really don't know the difference. In this article, we’ll explain which out of the three types of wood is the most affordable and strongest. We'll also discuss the different grades of each engineered wood composite. Make sure you understand the pros and cons of medium-density fiberboard, plywood, and particle board to make your purchasing decision easy. What is Particle Board? Simply put, particle board is a waste-wood product made by heat pressing wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even sawdust and resin together. To make the end product water resistant, fireproof, and/or insect-proof chemicals are used including wax, dyes, wetting ag...

Pile foundation is required when the soil bearing capacity is not sufficient for the structure to withstand. This is due to the soil condition or the order of bottom layers, type of loads on foundations, conditions at site and operational conditions. Many factors prevent the selection of surface foundation as a suitable foundation such as the nature of soil and intensity of loads, we use the piles when the soil have low bearing capacity or in building in water like bridges and dams A pile foundation consists of two components: Pile cap and single or group of piles. Piles transfers the loads from structures to the hard strata, rocks or soil with high bearing capacity. These are long and slender members whose length can be more than 15m. Piles can be made from concrete, wood or steel depending on the requirements. These piles are then driven, drilled or jacked into the ground and connected to pile caps. Pile foundation are classified based on material of pile construction, type o...
