The apparent lack of understanding of thesesafety requirements seems to suggest a deficiency in relevant education and training.The role of the manufacturing engineer in machine safety practices is somewhat unclear. Mostmanufacturing engineers, from a variety of manufacturing backgrounds (manufacturing,mechanical, industrial, etc.), will have some direct interaction with manufacturing equipment intheir professional careers. In many cases, the manufacturing engineer is given some level ofresponsibility for the safe

Thereport repeatedly emphasizes the importance of science and math achievement as a precursor fortechnical advancement, and relates the poor international showing of US students in math andscience to the declining impact of the US in research, patent issuance and economic andtechnological standing.The primacy of math and science to engineering is a common view that can, in educationalsettings, at least, clash with the objectives of engineering.

Thus, in developing the minor,faculty participants agreed on the importance of connecting sustainability education withstudents’ disciplinary interests and career aspirations.

The introduction of engineering into the K-12 classroom, which may befacilitated by partnerships between universities and K-12 schools, is a promising means toaccomplish this goal.

This water or moist content concept should be emphasizedthroughout the soil mechanics courses and even throughout a geotechnical engineer’s career aswell. Water content, w, is important because Atterberg limits like Liquid limit (LL) plastic limit(PL) are all fundamentally water content. And without emphasizing this fact, it is easy to forgetthis fundamental idea and concept. In this regard, the author recommends that LL and PL bewritten as and as in several classical soil mechanics textbooks. Putting the w, watercontent before LL and PL will help reminding
