2) Define value engineering & analysis. Discuss briefly the various approaches for VE and VA. Value Engineering (VE) or Value Analysis (VA) is an important and powerful approach for improvement in the performance of the products‚ systems or procedures and reduction in costs without jeopardising their function. L.D. Miles defined Value Analysis in his book Techniques of Value Analysis and Engineering (1961) as "an organised creative approach which has for its purpose the efficient identification

Genetic engineering is the incorporation of a new gene into another organism’s genome for a certain benefit which may include treatment of diseases‚ manufacturing of drugs‚hormones etc.‚ and production of foods.It started in early 1900’s‚ but scientists at that time did not practice ethics but as time went by ethical issues were addressed with the evolution of International organizations such as the United Nations. lt has been beneficiary to our society especially in the food production industries

Is Genetic Engineering the Answer to Hunger? Introduction The controversial statement that genetic engineered food may be the solution to hunger in the world is gaining more and more interest by the media in today’s society. On the one hand‚ supporters of biotechnology believe that genetic engineered food ensures and sustains food security around the world as the population increases‚ but on the other hand‚ there are many concerns involved with genetically modified food. In fact‚

proteins such as insulin and clotting factors to help cure diseases. However‚ this argument would be incomplete if it did not address the most pressing issue of GMO’s: the production of genetically modified foods. The list of benefits that genetic engineering brings to agriculture is a long one. Some of those benefits include herbicide resistance‚ pest resistance‚ viral resistance‚ increased nutritional yield‚ and increased shelf life. All of these improvements not only benefit the first-world countries

along with other students‚ how to become a world class engineering student. World class engineering students set goals in their academics. They want to graduate with a 3.6 GPA or higher and within four years. From the very beginning they will have a certain degree of engineering set in their mind and stick to it no matter how hard it gets. Currently I have 3.5 GPA before finals‚ but sadly I am behind in math courses so most of my engineering core classes have been pushed back one semester. To reach
