Penn West Petroleum Penn West Petroleum (PWE) has been going through a lean patch since long. Even before the most recent oil price collapse started last year‚ Penn West was in trouble. Its balance sheet has been laden with debt as a result of some grave acquisition mistakes that it made in 2008. Now‚ the company is left with the sole option of selling off some its assets to reduce that debt burden. But it is not going to get a fair price for those assets in the current environment. Consequently

OR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IMPORTATION: WHICH IS ECONOMICAL FOR NIGERIA? ABSTRACT: One of the most crucial challenges facing Nigeria is being able to meet the energy need of the energy hungry populace; the exponential population growth makes it even more challenging. The approach adopted to meeting this need has impacted severely on the economy of the nation as reflected in the year-on-year economic figures. This can be attributed to her choice of net importer of petroleum products

COMMENTARY Engineering teaching and research in IITs and its impact on India* Milind Sohoni This note analyses the nature of research and development (R&D) as it is practised in our premier engineering institutes and its effect on India’s development. I argue that the dominant paradigm of R&D is too abstract for it to be accessible to a wider set of students and teachers‚ and for it to yield developmental dividends. Furthermore‚ our metrics for R&D are too ‘international’ to incentivize work

Soil mechanics is one of the new disciplines of civil engineering‚ concerning the study of soil. It gathers data and provides the theoretical base for analysis in geotechnical engineering. In earlier times‚ constructions were built based on assumptions. After some important foundation-related engineering problems‚ example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ engineers

1. The use of knowledge and understanding of mathematics in engineering context. Mathematics is science of pattern that engineers seek out whether found in numbers‚ space‚ science‚ computers‚ imaginary abstractions‚ or elsewhere. Knowledge and use of basic mathematics have always been an inherent and integral part of engineering. In our previous semester‚ basic mathematics was applied in almost every module. From stress analysis of simple machine components to numerical description of various

1) engineering as a professional : a) Differentiate between Job and Professional Job stands for "just over broke" thus requiring minimal education and one with little to no experience will suffice to get the job done. One can easily be replaced at a job. Profession is a commitment to a higher level of education where on must attend and acquire skilled training. A profession requires critical thinking skills.
