CASE STUDY 1 BNSF Railway: Training New Hires for Safety In 2011‚ BNSF rolled out a plan to hire more than 4‚000 new employees – one of the most ambitious hiring plans ever for the company. Of the new hires‚ the majority of them (about 2‚400) are being hired into the company’s Transportation Group as conductors. The hiring is essential to fill vacancies due to retirements and to respond to the increasing business volumes BNSF is shipping. While these new people will help BNSF continue providing the

discussed. It is described how sketching is beneficial even though it is seen as messy and impractical by today’s standards in the technical drafting world. The research in this paper was gathered from professors of engineering universities‚ engineers‚ and studies that were done on the habits of sketching and its importance. It is described‚ through these works and studies‚ how important sketching is and how it not only benefits the designer or drafter‚ but also how it helps them build skills

Acids Bases and pH Scale I. Acids *Acids are ionic compounds ( a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H+). *The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H+ ions in the solution. The more H+ the stronger the acid. Example: HCl (Hydrochloric acid) in water Characteristics of Acids: **Acids taste sour **Acids react strongly with metals (Zn + HCl) **Strong Acids are dangerous and can burn your skin

First Law of Thermodynamics The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy cannot be created nor destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another. Another name for this law is the law of conservation of energy. This means that the total energy of a system plus its surroundings is constant and does not change. Energy can‚ however‚ be transferred in or out of the system and to or from the surroundings through work or heat. Conservation of Energy Energy may be defined as the

Factor of safety and probability of failure Introduction How does one assess the acceptability of an engineering design? Relying on judgement alone can lead to one of the two extremes illustrated in Figure 1. The first case is economically unacceptable while the example illustrated in the drawing on the right violates all normal safety standards. Sensitivity studies The classical approach used in designing engineering structures is to consider the relationship between the capacity C (strength

WHY I WANT TO BE AN ENGINEER Consider some things we always use in our everyday life such as vehicles‚ buildings‚ roads‚ bridges‚ vehicles‚ computers‚ electric devices and others are exist because of engineers. Without engineer maybe people cannot lives in easiest ways. Engineer can be defined as people who solve problems and focus on making things work more efficiently and effectively. They also apply theory of science and mathematics to design and manufacture product for human kind. Therefore
