A Job in Engineering

There are lots of different types of engineering. The one thing they have in common is that they all use Maths and Science to improve industry and manufacturing. The whole science of engineering can be broadly divided into three main areas:

• civil engineering (buildings, roads, etc.)

• mechanical engineering (machines, including tool-making)

• electrical engineering (electricity, lighting, etc.)

Each of these three main areas can be divided again into specialist subjects: civil engineering covers mining and bridge building, mechanical engineering covers aeronautical and automobile engineering, electrical engineering covers electricity generation and wiring.

When you know exactly which area you are interested in and think realistically about what sort of person you are, then you can decide what sort of engineer you want to be.

Trevor Baylis

In 1991, Trevor Baylis saw a television programme about people in Africa with AIDS. A doctor in the programme said he wanted to give everyone in his country information about the illness but very few people had televisions or radios. The problem was that radios were very expensive because the batteries cost more than a week’s food for a family.

Trevor Baylis had a clever idea: a clockwork radio that didn’t need batteries. He designed and developed a mechanism where the energy stored in a wound up spring could be used to drive a generator to power the radio. He also added a panel to convert solar energy into electrical energy.

Trevor Baylis’ environmentally-friendly radio has won lots of awards. The technology can be used in anything that needs batteries and it is perfect for countries where electrical power is unreliable or very expensive. The wind-up technology is now used in the new generation of Apple e-Mate computers.

The Tay Bridge.

The Tay Bridge in Scotland was designed and built by Sir Thomas Bouch in the nineteenth century. The bridge that was over 3 km long, opened in1978 and fell down in a winter storm in 1879. A train carrying 70 people was on the bridge at the time and all the people were killed.

There was an enquiry into the Tay Bridge disaster to find out why the accident happened. One of the conclusions was that the design and construction were based on how quickly and cheaply it could be built; safety and strength were not thought about properly. Another conclusion was that it was a very cold winter and the iron might crack when it contracted. Also, the design was based on experience rather than the more scientific and accurate calculations used today.

During the twentieth century engineers used computers to do a detailed structural analysis of the design used for the Tay Bridge. The results confirm that the design of the bridge was definitely substandard.

The Mini Story.

The first Mini was first made in 1959. And nowadays over 5 million people own one. BMW, a German car manufacturer, now owns the Mini and the newest model is being manufactured at an advanced production system in Oxford, England.

There are 2,500 employees at the plant and the working environment is good. The car assembly line is designed ergonomically to be easy to use and comfortable for the operators. For example, the car is raised, lowered, and turned through 90 degrees so the workers can do their jobs comfortably and easily. Old-fashioned, noisy, compressed-air tools are replaced with quieter and more accurate electric tools.

During the 1990s approximately £500 million were spent to change an old Oxford car factory into a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant. The Oxford plant now produces around 100,000 Minis a year.
