Structural Drawing: What It Is and How It’s Evolving by Lucky Balaraman
Structural engineers use engineering formulas relating to material properties and physics to design structures which will withstand all the forces the structures may be subject to. Examples of such forces are gravity, wind shear, stresses due to aging of materials and seismic vibration. ... During the later half of the twentieth century, structural drawings were created on the computer using specialized software. ... But the twenty-first century saw the emergence of advanced 3D software tools for structural drafting.

All About Software Engineering And Development by Gabriel J. Adams
Software engineering, known as SE, is the development, design, maintenance and documentation of software by applying practices and various technologies from fields such as computer science, engineering, application domains, project management, digital asset management and interface design. ... The characteristics of the software development process are also important in software engineering. ... In software engineering, software can be verified to meet these requirements by having design and technical specifications prepared and implemented correctly.

Software Testing: Part 2 by Prakash Chakkunny
Classic Testing Misconceptions and Mistakes Let's take a look at some of the common mistakes or misconceptions that actually reflect on a Testers quality, his efficiency and effectiveness. A couple of assumptions that are the key culprits, are the assumptions that all defects in the software... The tester should have a natural hyper-sensitivity to trivial things, He should possess software engineering skills (understanding the rules of software engineering, knowing computer programming and having operating system level knowledge).

Social Engineering by Neil Grogan
The official definition is “the art and science of getting people to comply to your wishes” which is why it is so fascinating and addictive to people who desire control or power. It is essentially an art in its own right, as very few people can manipulate people, whilst the person not knowing... With people so worried about software vulnerabilitys, they fail to see that a person can compromise a whole system and render millions of dollars spent on security utterly useless. ... Although 'Social Engineering' is not a widely used term, you have probably heard of 'phising', which impersonate...

Boxes and Lines by Tim Bryce
"Documentation is an inherent part of the design process." - Bryce's Law INTRODUCTION I recently overheard a Business Analyst say there was more to systems architecture than drawing boxes and arrows on a piece of paper. This may be true to a degree, but the ultimate deliverable of any... As we have discussed in the past, the "PRIDE"-Information Systems Engineering Methodology (ISEM) looks at a system as a product that can be engineered and manufactured like any other product and, as such, defines four levels of detail in a system's hierarchy: LEVEL 1 SYSTEM LEVEL 2 SUB-SYSTEMS...

Engineering Technology – Better, Faster, Cheaper by Kevin Redmond
I work in an industry that has seen huge changes in the past 25 years. The technology in engineering has grown and changed so much that we are executing project with half (sometimes less) the manpower we needed before. I work mainly in the oil and gas industry but I know that in other areas it... I have been in engineering industry for 25 years and when I started computers were in a main computer room and there were only a few and only few people who could run them. ... Using software called thinkid from think3 they were actually able to deform the solid shapes and the software was able to...

Computer Workstations by Richard Romando
A computer workstation is engineered to provide a higher performance level, 3D graphics capabilities, higher speed networking using a faster processor, more hard drive storage space than a standard personal computer. They are designed for applications requiring a higher degree of precision, and... These computer workstations have found their way into areas of engineering and software development, among others due to their ability to multi-task. ... At the same time, the term ‘computer workstation’ is also used to refer to an area of generally an office that accommodates a desktop computer...

End User Modelling Tools by Peter Hale
User involvement is important in the development of software but a domain expert does not necessarily possess expertise in software development, and a software developer cannot have expertise in every domain to which software might apply. So it is important to make it possible for software to be... UML for Interactive Systems: What is Missing INTERACT 2003 Closing the Gaps: Software Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction Zürich, Switzerland. ... If this computer literacy is harnessed to allow the domain experts to develop and share models, the productivity for software development will...

Computer Hard Drive Recovery Ideas by Jeffrey Meier
If you have never faced the loss of data, you still need to take precautions that your server, hard disk or RAID stay in good health. Also, you need to have some sort of plan in mind to help you in case there is any problem. Data losses, if and when they happen, take time to amend and may be... In this case try to get the Recovery Software with boot functions that ways the computer will boot from the software and then you will be able to see your data files and copy it to safe drives. ... Recovery engineers are internally trained to work on data recovery, working with computer hardware for...

Quick Guide to Computer Training by Kate Leas
Computers and the Internet have come a long way since their inception. Living in the computer age means adapting to new technologies as they evolve. The ease and speed of communication that computer technology provides allows us to be more productive in every facet of our lives. ... Computer training is divided into specialties including: • Computer hardware • Computer software • Computer networking • Web Development Computer hardware refers to the actual physical components that comprise computers (processors, modems, keyboards, motherboards etc).
