2 Announcements Take the College of Engineering Climate Survey – Extra Credit Start studying for Engr 10 final exam 2

3 The Engineering Profession E10 - Introduction to Engineering Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering Spring 2014 3

4 What do we mean by a Profession? 1 4 1. Requires specialized & highly skilled knowledge 2. Requires academic training 3. Regulated by professional bodies 4. Requires examination of competence 5. Function of professional work is vital to society 6. Perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of legal and ethical conduct 2 7. Requires continuing education to keep current with rapidly changing technology 8. Professionals enjoy higher social status 9. Higher compensation

5 The Engineering Profession Training, Qualifications, Advancements, Licensure BS required for all entry level engineering jobs Engineers trained in one field, may also work in a related field of engineering: Civil ……………….Chem E. ME ………………..BME Aero E …………….…ME EE ……………… Comp. E Chem E. ……………….. Materials E 5 All 50 states require licensure for engineers who offer their services directly to the public 2

6 Training, Qualifications, Advancements, Licensure 6 BS Degree Engineer in Training (EIT) (FE Exam) Professional Engineer (PE)

7 Training, Qualifications, Advancements, Licensure A. Engineer In Training (EIT) 2 Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam Senior in or graduate of ABET accredited program B. Professional Engineer (PE ) 2 BS-ABET Passed FE, or be waived of the FE 4-Years work experience Exam by NCEES ( National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying ) 1.Principles and Practice of Engineering 7

8 Being a licensed engineer The PE license allows you to call yourself a professional engineer Can have legal authority for engineering work (e.g. sign/stamp drawings, bid for government contracts, own company, serve as expert witness, etc.) Some states require at least one licensed engineer in a company. 8

9 What Engineers Do? (a review) 4 “Apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems” 4 1. Design products 2. Build and test these products 3. Design plants in which those products are made 4. Design systems that ensure the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process 5. Analyze systems to evaluate their performance 6. Develop software to control systems 7. Innovate to improve performance of existing systems 9

10 Engineering Work Done in E10 Skills/Fundamentals: – Excel, SolidWorks, Statics, Aerodynamics, Strength of materials, Communication, EasyC, Signal theory Design: – Turbine blades, support structure (CE, ME, Aero) - Robot SWR and HDR (EE, Comp E, ME, SWR E) Build Parts (Mfg) : – Blades (z-printer), IR Board Assembly: - Support structure, Motor installation. (CE, ME) – IRB, Robot car (EE, ME) Test: – Blade performance. ( Aero, EE, Excel ) – Structure stiffness (EE, CE, ME) – IRB, Robot HDR/SWR Communication: – Technical presentation and report 10
