Space is our last frontier – or at least we assume it to be at this time – and it remains our greatest exploratory and engineering challenge. The design and invention of the machinery, technology and equipment required, together with determination and sheer ingenuity can almost exclusively be attrib...
An independent power producer is a privately-owned power plant, operating outside o...
Victoria ascended the English throne in 1837, and her reign became known as the golden age of the empire. Victorian times saw extraordinary achievements in the disciplines of engineering and technology by some of the greatest pioneers in these fields. The major canal, railway, and waterworks p...
Every day we use simple designs that have become an entrenched part of our life. Think of the toilet roll, the lock and key, the drawer, the step, the fork, the straw, the pen, the plug. Some were dreamt up in an instant, and some no doubt took a considerable amount of thought, time and effort. But ...
One of the most enduring aspects of engineering whether complex or simple, is the ingenuity that motivates creative vision and effective solution.
Across all endeavours throughout history, resulting in the many disciplines of today – from medical to farming to space exploration – engineering is the t...
Most ideas, good or bad, begin with excitement and purpose, but often end in a frizzle. This is because the process of taking an idea through design and manufacturing can be a complex business, not to mention expensive. To drive your idea to market you need to plan your progression with patience, pe...
Designing a process plant to create products entails either the design of completely new facilities or the modification of existing facilities. The design starts at a conceptual level and ultimately ends in the form of fabrication and construction plans. Industrial plant design will often include ma...
