contemporary engineering issuesPage 1 of 2MEP 3302 S’16 Paper 1, contemporary engineering issuesHello MEP Systems and Design for Construction CONE 3302 – 001,Paper 1, contemporary engineering issuesTurn in a proposal this Monday 1-Feb-2016Turn in the formal written report Monday 22-Feb-2016The report should go under a coverThe report should have a cover sheet (not counted in the 7 to 10 pages of the report.)Use the ASCE, ASME, or IEEE format for writing a formal paper.Use the ASCE format, or IEEE format, or ASME format, they are all basically the same.Go on line or to the library to look at a few ASCE papers to get a feel for how they are presented.You should have at least five (5) hard copy references for your paper.Electronic references from the internet are not worth much, but they are acceptable.Electronic references from the internet are not hard copy references.Your paper should be about seven (7) to ten (10) pages total, of type written in 10 point type, 1 ½ spaces betweenlines (not 2 spaces). Graphs and figures are often necessary in the text of the paper but they don’t count astyped written text. All the graphs and figures you include will be summed and counted as 1.5 pages of writtentext.Next Monday you will submit ONE PARAGRAPH, ON ONE PAGE to be an outline for a formal written reporttopic.The paragraph should be an abstract for your proposed report.The topics will be on, “contemporary engineering issues”.The topics will be along the lines of the topics below.Some (but not all) Topics:Engineering Economics: nationwide, worldwide,: associated with manufacturing a particular product or family ofproducts. Cars, Portland cement, steel pipe, Cu pipe, PVC pipe, electrical conductors, etc.Energy availability: Energy sources, Energy reliability, renewable energy, non-renewable energies, new energyrecovery techniques, etc.Energy usage: nationwide, worldwide, : for living, transportation, communications, building construction, roadwayconstruction, pipeline construction, manufacturing, etcInfrastructure: aging roads, aging bridges, aging underground pipelines, aging electrical grid, aging electricalgeneration, solar flares, global warming, green building construction, disposal or recycling non-toxic waste, disposalof toxic waste, cleanup of toxic waste, etc.Safety issues: work place safety, equipment design safety, engineering disasters causing injuries and loss of life,engineering practices that caused injuries or loss of life, etc .These are not the only topics you may write on, you may choose another. I will choose whether it is acceptable.All the issues have dollars ($) tied to them. It would be better to tie cost to British Thermal Units (BTU) or Joules(J) for these efforts rather than to use dollars or any other monetary measure. The monetary measure change withtime. The energy for a task is mostly constant unless a new technology reduces the energy necessary for a particulartask. A new technology may generate a new waste product that must be disposed of, in a safe fashion.Page 2 of 2MEP 3302 S’16 Paper 1, contemporary engineering issuesBobbyCONE 3302 MEP Papers (7 to-10 pages, 1.5 spaced, 10, or 11 or 12 pt type)ASCE formatting (ASME, IEEE, …)1.
