Stone wall at Mihintale. I tend to believe that there is a reason why some stones are at an angle and have 5 edges. They could have easily straighten it up, given what we can see around.
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.

Jack Becker, an expert in documenting vessels for the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), is taking RIPTIDE's lines via photogrammetry, which involves using computer software to develop a three-dimensional drawing of the vessel's lines from photography.
(RIPTIDE is at the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op for repairs to her keel and strut in the area of her aft cockpit).
The office of Heritage Documentation Programs within the National Park Service administers the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), the Federal Government's oldest preservation program, and its companion programs: the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) and Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS). Documentation produced through the programs constitutes the nation's largest archive of historic architectural, engineering, and landscape documentation, and includes well over a half million documents. The HABS/HAER/HALS Collection is housed at the Library of Congress. www.nps.gov/hdp/
The Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) was established in 1969 by the National Park Service, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Library of Congress to document historic sites and structures related to engineering and industry. Appropriate subjects for documentation are individual sites or objects, such as a bridge, ship, or steel works; or larger systems, like railroads, canals, electronic generation and transmission networks, parkways and roads.
From its inception, HAER focused less on the building fabric and more on the machinery and processes within, although structures of distinctly industrial character continue to be recorded. In recent years, maritime documentation has become an important program focus. www.nps.gov/hdp/haer/
RIPTIDE was built in 1927 by the Schertzer Brothers Boat and Machine Company, then located on the north end of Lake Union near the foot of Stone Way in Seattle. She is 47 feet 1-inch long with a beam of 11 feet 10-inches and a draft of four feet. She is planked in port orford cedar riveted to white oak frames over an apitong backbone with western red cedar houses. She displaces about 10 tons, relatively light for a boat this size.
She was originally named NEREIAD, then, shortly thereafter, NOKARE. Her trunk cabin (the raised cabin aft of the pilothouse) was reportedly added (or extended) in 1933. By 1936, when owned by Russell G. Gibson, a Director of the Seattle Yacht club, she had been named RIPTIDE.
Mr Gibson owned her through at least 1960. After a few years, she was bought in 1965 by Richard Billings, who used her as a cruiser and live-aboard in Alaska. In 1968 Richard sold her to his brother Roger, who owned her through 2014. RIPTIDE is fortunate to have been owned by knowledgeable and caring owners throughout her long life.
RIPTIDE is a Coast Guard documented vessel. She carries documentation number 226242 carved into the interior face of both port and starboard bilge stringers. She is documented at 17 net tons and 21 gross tons.
Her original engine may have been a Hall-Scott gasoline engine, but is as yet unknown. By 1959 she had an eight cylinder Chrysler Crown gas engine, a common engine of the time, most likely added in the late 1940's. That engine was removed in 1967 when RIPTIDE was re-powered by a 1967 Volvo MD-70A diesel engine. The Volvo engine was removed in early June 2015 and was replaced by Cummins 5.9 liter diesel of 210hp. While her top speed is over 14 knots at 2400 rpm, her cruising speed is a much more sedate 9 knots at 1500 rpm. She carries 300 gallons of diesel fuel.
She was overhauled by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op in Port Townsend WA between April 8th and September 16th, 2015. The Co-Op replaced 35 frames, then replanked much of her hull above the waterline. They installed a new transom and decks, replaced her engine and exhaust system, and installed a modern electrical system. Finally, a new anchor windlass and chain was installed.
Diane Salguero of Salguero Marine Services varnished the transom and pilothouse windows and painted the vessel.
RIPTIDE's hailing port is Port Ludlow WA. She is usually moored in Port Madison, on Bainbridge Island, WA.

This bridge was interesting. It cost 2 yuan to cross, and it was literally planks tied on to floating oil drums. I was glad when I made it to the other side! The river looked nice, but I didn't fancy a dunking.
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?
This is where I study. The Electrical Engineering Department of College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, NUST.

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.
The Clyde Engineering builders plate sits proudly on the short hood of 1204 ) above a slightly worn "Zero Injuries" decal.
Formerly known as A1514 and financed by Western Mining Corporation for the West Australian Government Railway to haul ore trains, this was one of three A Class fitted with dynamic brakes. A1514 was built by Clyde Engineering at Granville in NSW and is presently owned by Genesee & Wyoming Australia (along with sister unit 1203/A1513) for narrow gauge grain haulage out of Port Lincoln.
With the closure of the grain lines from Port Lincoln in mid 2019, the future of 1204 is presently unknown.
