Document Summary
Professional engineering: any means of planning, designing, composing etc . Canadian engineering history: birth from military engineering (1812, fort wellington,prescott) Military infrastructure lead to civilian engineering (toronto water system, railway, community) Small scale failures starting to pop up, notice lack of education and inconsistences. Large scale failure, quebec bridge and grain elevator (tacoma manitoba) Causalities in engineering work environments (rideau canal 1/10 workers, quebec bridge 88) Design: plan for construction of an object: revolutionary : new designs. Incremental: next step, tweak, small improvement: radical: new technology, drastic change, big and bold. Attended art college, workout of shed, created numerous devices, worth 1 billion. Invented trolley ball (dyson ball) bagless vacuum technology, idea from ball barrow. Partial design: adhoc methodology, engineers only focused on their part of the project not full product. Does not offer structure and integration of tech and nontech. Total design: to be successful you must consider all pertinent aspects related to your design.
