Basic Engineering Technology
Author: R L Timings
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483183157
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Basic Engineering Technology covers various topics related to engineering, from safety procedures and movement of loads to measurement and dimensional control. Marking out, workholding, and toolholding are also discussed, along with joining, assembly, and dismantling. The interpretation of technical drawings, specifications, and data is considered as well. Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with a historical overview of the development of the engineering industry, followed by a discussion on the academic qualifications and training of the various categories of technical personnel employed in the industry. The reader is then introduced to safe practices observed in the engineering industry, with emphasis on health and safety legislation, causes of accidents, and accident prevention. Subsequent chapters focus on safety considerations in the movement of loads; measurement and control of dimensional properties; advantages and disadvantages of marking out; workholding and toolholding applications; and assembly and dismantling. This monograph is intended for undergraduate students and those enrolled in training centers and in industrial apprentice training schemes.

Science and Technology Education and Future Human Needs
Author: J. L. Lewis
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483190943
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Science and Technology Education and Future Human Needs is a collection of papers that tackle concerns in the education of future scientists, particularly concerns in identifying techniques and resource material. The title first covers the impact of science on society, and then proceeds to tackling the relevance of science. Next, the selection talks about the revision of science curricula. Chapter 4 deals with science education and the needs of developing countries, while Chapter 5 talks about problems in implementation. The sixth chapter covers the balance between technology and environment in development, and the seventh chapter tackles the nutritional concerns in national development. In the last chapter, the text talks about addressing human needs first before developing science and technology. The book will be of great interest to individuals concerned with the progress of science and technology.
