close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering‚ a similar specialty‚ in my Master’s program. It may well be asked why I maintain such a close affinity with petroleum. The answer is simple and straightforward—because I was born and I grew up on an oil field and I have cherished a deep love for all that it represent. Even as a child‚ I had a habit of watching for hours how beam-pumping

SECTION FIVE CHAPTER 7 Engineering Economics John M. Watts‚ Jr.‚ and Robert E. Chapman Introduction Engineering economics is the application of economic techniques to the evaluation of design and engineering alternatives.1 The role of engineering economics is to assess the appropriateness of a given project‚ estimate its value‚ and justify it from an engineering standpoint. This chapter discusses the time value of money and other cash-flow concepts‚ such as compound and continuous interest

What is Chemical and Process Engineering? The branch of Engineering which is concerned with processes in which materials undergo a required change in composition‚ energy content or physical state at a reasonable cost and in the safest possible manner. History of Chemical Engineering For all intents and purposes the chemical engineering profession began in 1888. While‚ the term "chemical engineer" had been floating around technical circles throughout the 1880’s‚ there was no formal education

Department of Mechanical Engineering Oregon State University Corvallis‚ Oregon 97331 ABSTRACT This paper is a study on the importance of drawing (both formal drafting and informal sketching) during the process of mechanical design. Five hypotheses‚ focused on the types of drawings‚ their necessity in mechanical problem solving‚ and their relation to the external representation medium‚ are presented and supported. Support is through referenced studies in other domains and the results

Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. The title “civil engineering” was first used about 1750 by John Smeaton‚ an English engineer. Civil engineers plan and supervise the construction of buildings‚ bridges‚ waterways‚ streets‚ highways and sewerage systems. Other civil engineering projects include railroads‚ tunnels‚ dams‚ canals‚ airports and irrigation systems. Civil engineering should be familiar with the many materials used in the structures he builds. Materials

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Name: XYZ Program Applied For: MS in Engineering Management Ever since I was taught how to operate a computer in my school‚ I have been fascinated by the way this small box was able to perform numerous functions in such less time. I still remember the day when my brother taught me how to browse the internet and find the necessary information. I was spellbound at the fact that so much information was only a click away. From then on my curiosity to learn about this device

Q1: what was the reason for the loss of the contract? 1- (DOE) failed to award the contract to Kombs Engineering for the simple reason they lacked faith in Komb’s project management systems because the failure to provide such a project management system by Kombs . 2- Kombs during the time it was contracted with the DOE for a period of five years and it never took time to develop a proper system of managing projects and they never released that the dynamics and tools involved in project management
