Speaking of engineering and bulky costumes. "Iron Man" is another interesting challenge. I've read that it's taken the designers of the "real" costume three movies to figure out how to make the armor work without pinching the hell out of the actor.
So the challenge for cosplayers is to make it lightweight, comfortable, practical, and affordable. Like all engineering challenges, it's always a question of "how do we define the goal of this project?" and then giving yourself the freedom to jettison ideas and features that you "want" instead of "need," if necessary.
What good is a rigid costume that you can wear for about 27 minutes before you cry "uncle"? I've seen people in chain-mail suits who looked — what a surprise — like they were carrying 72 pounds of metal all over their bodies. Hardly happy campers and you rarely see them twice on the same day.
This set of Iron Man armor is made of foamcore, it seems, and it looks great. Would it fool you into thinking it's the movie costume? Of course not, but that's not really the goal of cosplay. It hits all of the design points, it's well-executed, and you can look at it without thinking "Oh, that poor, poor man..."

The UC Davis College of Engineering presented its annual Scholar Awards during a recognition ceremony at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 in the AGR Room of the campus’ Alumni and Visitor Center.
The ceremony featured 70 awards worth a combined total of $218,000. Specific awards have been sponsored by corporations that include Boeing, Bushnell Outdoor Products, Chevron, Micron, Phillips 66, Texas Instruments and Union Pacific.
College of Engineering students applied for the various awards via an online application that required short answers to questions designed to spur creativity and reveal details about applicant interests. Sample questions included “Cite your favorite UC Davis course, and why” and “Describe yourself in a tweet.” Applications then were reviewed, and winners selected, by faculty within each College of Engineering department.
The Scholar Awards are an excellent opportunity for students to demonstrate enthusiasm for their engineering fields of choice, while obtaining some extra money to help support their education. The corporate donors benefit as well, since it allows them to establish relationships with top College of Engineering undergraduates.
Student involvement and corporate sponsorship have grown significantly this year; by way of comparison, the 2013 Scholar Awards honored 40 individuals with cash awards that totaled $60,000.

At this time there were only sixteen class 40's remaining in service, and all were switched off in this month on the 22nd January 1985.

Good education responds to the needs of the modern labor market. Prasitchai Chaiamarit is taking a PhD in civil engineering at one of Thailand's best universities. "I want to develop experience around earthquakes and big structures," he says. There have been more and more earthquakes in Thailand and other neighboring countries in recent years.

Engineering Across Continents
Two Years in Madrid and Two Years in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Welcome to the Department of Engineering at Saint Louis University in Spain
The department is home to more than 20 faculty members who form an interconnected network of researchers and industry professionals contributing to the creation of new frontiers of modern science and engineering. Our students and faculty have access to world-renowned educational resources and outstanding lab facilities. In keeping with the Jesuit tradition of promoting the development of the whole person, the Engineering programs include the Core Curriculum of Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology. This Core provides a framework for acquiring a broad foundation of knowledge in the Humanities, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences. At the same time, the Core fosters intellectual inquiry, ethical decision making, and effective communication across the disciplines.

Sharpness Docks jetty.
The riverside entrance to the docks and the Gloucester ship canal is protected by this wooden construction. It reminds me of the little building projects I used to do as a youngster - sticks and crossbeams stuck together somehow so the whole thing stays up.
The scale here is a bit bigger and, like me I guess, has seen better days. If you've ever seen a canal boat or ship get the approach to a lock wrong because of misjudging the fickle currents, you will know that they can hit these guiding jetties with a terrific whallop. Fortunately wood is very flexible and can absorb most of the impact, but you can see the damage caused over time here.
I liked the geometry and the shapes and lines against the sparkling water, so thought it might make a reasonable subject for my 100x monochrome project for last year (#98).
The same image is also the starting point for a bit of Sliders Sunday art-play today so I shall link the in-camera original here as well, in the first comment.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x (2020)

Promotional thing from ICI.
I remember ICI used to be the archetypal Big, Scary Industrial Giant. Haven't heard anything of them for years. Do they even still exist?
The Google Engineering Philosophy
1. All developers work out of a ~single source depot; shared infrastructure!
2. A developer can fix bugs anywhere in the source tree.
3. Building a product takes 3 commands ("get, config, make")
4. Uniform coding style guidelines across company
5. Code reviews mandatory for all checkins
6. Pervasive unit testing, written by developers
7. Unit tests run continuously, email sent on failure
8. Powerful tools, shared company-wide
9. Rapid project cycles; developers change projects often; 20% time
10. Peer-driven review process; flat management structure
11. Transparency into projects, code, process, ideas, etc.
12. Dozens of offices around world => hire best people regardless of location
See my entry on Always Be Coding for more information.
In its 22nd year, the Engineering Expo is the college’s premier community outreach event. On average, the college welcomes more than 1,500 K-12 students from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools (elementary, middle, and high school) to the FIU Engineering Center to engage with FIU student organizations, researchers and staff, and to discover the endless possibilities of pursuing a degree in engineering or computing.
Leith Docks are important to Edinburgh as they were and still are the cities link to the sea. Although the types of trade have changed over the years, many of the original dockside buildings survive as modern flats, cafes and pubs. Also surviving is this old swing bridge which lies across the Water of Leith.
Finished in 1963, designed by Stirling and Gowan. The lecture theatres stick out of the building rather neatly and the workshop roofs seem to reflect the idea of terraces (as seen from above) and factory roofs. Winner of the R S Reynolds Memorial Award in 1965 for it's use of aluminium.
