Explain why advances in technology can actually create more problems for engineers.

Engineering
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Engineering is science in practical terms. It is the application of scientific findings in problem solving and creating a better world.

How does technological advancements create more problems for engineers?

  • Loss of job to automation: the world is driving at automating work processes through the use of  specially designed and crafted machinery. Work is now properly being done using machines with little to no human input in the whole process. This is a huge let off for engineers. Engineers have to compete with machines which are their own inventions for jobs now.
  • Fast paced work environment: machines can handle work more efficiently and faster than the people making them. There is an increasing race between engineers and their own inventions today for better product delivery. Unless a machine is faulty, they are more productive and efficient than man. This can cause engineers to want to catch up with their own inventions leading to a work life of stress.
  • Environmental problems they cannot solve: most inventions use components from the environment. They release effluents that are very difficult to be properly disposed or stored. This is a huge problem for engineers and can lead to ethical calls from the government and the populace. In short, they can create problems they are expected to solve but cannot solve.
  • Social problems: engineers can be portrayed as terrible beings for their own inventions. This leads to psychological problems on a good and creative invention. For example, rare earth metals in DR Congo are instrumental in making solar panels, but mining of these metals have forced several thousands of people into hard and intense labor on mines; there is a call on technological firms to stop exploiting people this way for their own gains.
  • Misuse of technology: any good technology can be put into the wrong use. A nuclear reaction can be packaged into a bomb and also, it can be the center of electricity generation on a commercial scale. How can engineers solve this kind of problem? Technological inventions are subjective in their usage.

There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 12 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  16 minutes

Explanation:

This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.

The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."

Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...

  (4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min

The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.

You can write two equations for height:

  y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)

  y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . .  height in feet after x minutes (tank B)

These will be equal when ...

  y = y

  12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x

  4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8

  16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height

The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.

Three groups of students are given study outlines for 6 weeks. One group studies 2 hours a night, a second group studies 1 hour
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The constant here is the study outline

Explanation:

In scientific research, the constant variable is that part/variable of the experiment that does not change or is set not to change. Examples include temperature, environment or height.

Assuming the scenery described in this question is an experiment. All the groups presented are bound by a constant during the experiment. The constant here is the study outline. The study outline provided to the students is not going to change.

NOTE: There could be confusion as regards the answer being the final exam grade but that will be the dependent variable as that will be the outcome of the experiment while the time spent to study will be the independent variable.
