168

16.1 History of Units

A common denomination of units is essential for the development of trade and economics around the world National Bureau of Standards, established by Congress, adopted the English system of measurement (12 inches, etc) Majority of nations in the world today operate on the metric system because of its simplicity (multiples of 10)
169

16.1 History of Units - SI Units

Le Systeme International dUnites,

French for the International System of Units Improvements in the definitions of the base units continue to be made by the General Conference of Weights and Measures as science dictates
170

16.2 The SI System of Units

Modernized metric system adopted by the General Conference, a multinational organization which includes the United States Built on a foundation of seven base units, plus two supplementary ones All other SI units are derived from these nine units
171

16.2 The SI System of Units

Multiples and sub-multiples are expressed using a decimal system Generally, the first letter of a symbol is capitalized if the name of the symbol is derived from a persons name, otherwise it is lowercase

172

16.2 The SI System of Units

Base Units in the SI system


Meter = m Kilogram = kg Seconds = s Ampere = A Kelvin = K Mole = mol Candela = cd

178

16.4 Prefixes
Multiplication Prefix Symbol Factor 1000000 = 106 mega M 1000 = 103 .001 = 10-3 kilo milli k m m Term (USA) One million One thousand One thousandth One millionth
179

.000001 = 10-6 micro

16.5 Numerals

A space is always left between the numeral and the unit name or symbol, except when we write a degree symbol

SI units a space is used to separate groups of three in a long number


3 m = 3 meters; 8 ms = 8 milliseconds

This is optional when there are four digits in a number (3456 = 3 456; .3867 = .386 7)
180

3,000,000 = 3 000 000 .000005 = .000 005

Bab 21
Engineering Work Experience

242

21.1 A Job and Experience


How do you get experience without a job, and how do you get a job without experience? Graduate schools and employers look for experiences outside the classroom Incorporating career experience is a worthwhile consideration

Many Economic shifts have happened in a college students lifetime


May extend college to 6 years 1980-1983: 1983-1986: 1988-1994: 1994-2001: 2001-2003: 2004:

Major Recession Revival of U.S. Economy Restructuring of Corporate America Vigorous Rebound of Economy Recession Signs of improvement in the labor market for engineers

Paid or unpaid experience for a set period of time

Usually during the summer No obligations for future employment

Sometimes they support other engineers Other times they are given individual projects No official evaluation or credit given Short term projects

Obtain a description of these projects prior to employment to assure it is of interest

Great for students with time, curriculum, and location constraints


248

21.6 Co-operative Education


Cooperative Education is often the preferred form of experimental Learning Co-ops are considered to be academic and are administered by the college Assignments are directly related to field of study

Detailed job descriptions are used to create the best possible matches
Alternating terms of school with work at the same company

School and work are closely integrated

Projects become more extensive throughout the experience Term in school followed by a term at work followed by a term at school and so on
249

21.6 Co-operative Education

Parallel co-ops is an alternative

Sometimes a longer alternating approach is used


Students are partially enrolled in classes and spend 20 to 25 hours at work Difficulties arise in allowing ample time for both areas
Students work two consecutive semesters then attend class for a semester or two Allows for longer projects

Some schools use all three methods Co-ops are rarely summer only

Requires a three or four semester commitment


250

Break between work assignments is too long

21.6 Co-operative Education

Advantages for Students

Consideration for employment and grad school Improved technical skills Helps determine career path Excellent pay
