An Investigation into Role & Responsibilities of a Mechanical Engineer

A good mechanical engineer is an innovator and a problem solver. Being a mechanical engineer comes both with excellent technical as well as communication skills. We are always excited to be on the edge of technology, learning how to make things work more efficiently. They feel a sense of accomplishment when turning their ideas into reality and solving problems that better society. Mechanical engineers are naturally curious, innovative, creative, and practical, and have a desire to help people and the world around them. Mechanical engineers are the second largest engineering occupation. They work mostly in engineering services, research and development, manufacturing industries, and the federal government. The rest are employed in general-purpose machinery manufacturing, automotive parts manufacturing, management of other companies, and testing laboratories. Mechanical engineers typically are involved in the following: Analyze problems to see how a mechanical device might...

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the oldest continuing health science in the world. The central principle of Ayurvedic science is that we are all unique with an individual constitution with our own physical and psychological nature. Hence the Ayurvedic approach treats all aspects of a person, as anything that affects the mind and which eventually affects  the body. The Sanskrit word Ayurveda, means the science or wisdom of life. It is one of the few sciences that treats the individual through a thorough assessment of a person’s unique makeup and circumstances. The individual is examined within the broader context of their life and all factors influencing their wellbeing are taken into consideration. The success of the Ayurvedic tradition comes through the promotion of balanced living and is founded on the principle that nothing functions in isolation. While it is an ancient science from an ancient culture, in today’s throwaway and quick fix culture, the perennial wisdom of seeing the individ...

Free Space Optical Communication (FSO): Enabling Connectivity in rural/remote areas in India

Free space optic (FSO) communication is a line of sight technology that currently enables optical transmission up to 3 Gbps of data communications through the air, allowing optical connectivity without deploying fiber-optic cable or securing spectrum licenses. Such propagation of optical capacity through air requires light, which can be focused, by using light sources either light emitting diodes (LEDS) or LASERS (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). FSO technology is relatively simple. It is based on connectivity between FSO units, each consisting of an optical transmitter & receiver to provide full duplex (bi-directional) capability. FSO technology requires no Spectrum licensing. As the requirement for high speed connectivity increases, service providers are looking for reasonably priced, high bandwidth alternative to deliver service in shortest possible time. FSO offers service providers a tool to generate revenue and provide enhanced services at a rea...

CIVIL ENGINEERS: A Bright Future Ahead……

Civil engineering has quite a beautiful and wide scope in India. But remember, one will has to be patient. And I can explain why…...!! Civil engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with people, civilization of a country, their needs and basic facilities. So as long as there are humans and as long as we need development in terms of Flyovers, Sky-scrapper towers, Road network, railway……etc. Natural phenomenon like earthquakes and tornadoes civil engineers will be required.   Just take an example of a routine life. A person wakes up in the morning brushes his teeth, takes showers, has breakfast, goes to office, works over there, has lunch, again works, comes back to home, has dinner, watches TV and enjoy with family then goes to bed. In above example, that person required water for his morning activities, it has been indicated that if people do not get water supply in the morning, their whole day is disturbed. He needs ...
