Engineering marvel at the Hoover Dam. This bridge will re-route traffic from going on the dam to this bridge suspended over the river below. Pictures to not do justice to how amazing this looked in person. The workers were present both day and night. Each side had Arizona and Nevada State Flags respectively.
Visit to R & A Engineering Company near Manchester, Michigan on May 23, 2013 with my flickr contacts Grant and Rogerio Machado.
R & A is a world-class classic car restoration operation. The location is on a beautiful old dairy farm a few miles outside of town. These custom made containers are designed to hold the oil filter in a classic car's engine compartment. I didn't hear who manufactures them.

Kallani( the Grand Anicut)
It was built by the Chola king Karikala Chola around the 2nd Century AD and is considered one of the oldest water-diversion or water-regulator structures in the world, which is still in use. It still stands as a symbol of Dravidian Engineering.

The faculty of Engineering of La Sapienza University is located in the former convent associated with the nearby San Pietro in Vincoli church.
Wild Water consists of almost 30 interactive exhibits, which explain the science of water and water power.
The engine was supplied with a glow plug head and this special mica spark plug head. The crankcase is die-cast and sports a built up steel cylinder assembly with dual exhaust, and spun aluminum fuel tank. It was manufactured in a few different variations but in very limited quantities.

2019/06/23: A modern art building for engineering students in Griffintown.. it was impressive.. and kinda unknown in the city at large.
Dartmouth engineering students designed a reacher grabber with multiple heads for grasping a wide range of products. The device, designed for their "Product Design" course, is intended to help the elderly and those with mobility impairments.

The Tool is a sixty-inch triple chrome-plated adjustable pipe wrench, forged by the Ridge Tool Company of Elyria, OH, USA. It is the only known fully chromed pipe wrench of its type in the world, and is the mascot of the University of Waterloo Engineering Society. Its history goes back to the early days of the University.
In the late 1960s, the Engineering Society had no official mascot. Being barely 10 year old, the Society decided to begin the process of selecting and acquiring an object that would become the Society’s official mascot and icon – something to represent the immense pride and spirit that Waterloo Engineering had.
Several ideas were discussed, but the two most popular ideas for a mascot were a pipe wrench (a symbol of the “Plummer and Proud of It” attitude championed by Ken Loach, Chemical ’71), and a sword. Through a public vote in meetings of both Society “A” and Society “B”, it was determined that the wrench would be the mascot, and it would be big.
Jim Pike, Society “A” President at the time, then began the search for the new mascot, and while on a co-op work term, found a suitable choice: the Ridge Tool Company’s straight pipe wrench model No. 60. However, at a cost of $350, it was unattainable for the young Engineering Society.
Jim decided to send a letter to the Ridge Tool Company and explain what they wanted to do, what the wrench would mean to the society, and if they would donate one. The company’s response was an overwhelming “yes” with only two conditions: that it would be known as “The Ridgid Tool”, and that it would retain its original orange colours out of respect for the Ridge Tool Company.
The Tool was chromed within a few hours of Pike picking it up from the supplier in the summer of 1968, although he admits that he “should have had a Chemical Engineer along to explain what happens to orange paint in a chrome dip.” As for the name “The Ridgid Tool”, he won’t say what exactly happened, except that it did get lots of mileage and notoriety before the official name change.
With The Tool coming to the University of Waterloo, it was determined that a group of dedicated students was needed to protect it and thus, the Action Committee was formed. It was their duty to be the official guardians of the Tool in public and in private. Over time, these students came to be known as Tool Bearers, and the Action Committee was dissolved. There are no publicly known details about the Tool Bearers today, except that whenever the Tool is around, they are as well, silently guarding it in their black and gold uniform.
The College of Engineering dedicated this newly renovated space thanks to a generous donation from Steven and Barbara Kohler. Barbara is the daughter of the late Aaron Friedman, a former College of Engineering faculty member who grew up in Detroit, served in the U.S. Navy and was a successful entrepreneur.

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.

From the section on transporter bridges. The Newport Transporter Bridge still operates, run as a charitable organisation, open in the summer months. It was built in 1906. The Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge was built in 1905, the first of its type in Britain and the largest in the world. It closed in 1961 and was demolished.
A very informative boys’ (in those days!) book on engineering feats published in the late 1920s or early 1930s by Ward, Lock & Co of London and Melbourne. Although it is not dated, it is possible to ascertain the rough period from the content. The Hudson River Bridge in New York is shown, described with an artist’s impression of the “proposed” bridge which was actually completed and opened to traffic in 1936.
This building is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever come across - such an amazing design. Taken in: Pretoria / Main Campus / University of Pretoria

Hard to believe - but I've been recording this project now for 5 years.
Most of the main civil engineering works have ceased along the Slang/Rehills section of the river bank.
However, the soil-shifters are at it again.
Smaller operation than before, but a steady process of removing soil, shifting soil and reshaping the banks.
You don't have to be a certified civil engineer to figure out that there are quicker and more efficient ways to move the soil.
Using one excavator, a few dumper-trucks and a single bulldozer is a process not driven by time/cost.
If you 'really' had to complete this work quickly, you'd line up a few 'bigboy' bulldozers . . . . . and shift the soil in days, rather than weeks-months.
This 'hurdler on the ditch' simply comments on the piecemeal nature of this planning!
Maybe they're eavesdropping . . . but, suddenly, man-mountains disappear, and level expanses appear.
Adjacent to the 'debris-traps', opposite the Rivervale Apartments complex, a collar of stone/boulder is being laid to provide further protection, from water scour, to the edge of the bank.
To temporarily allow the excavator unto the river bed -- first you lay a shelf of soil/gravel, and remove when work is complete.
Nearly 120 students, teachers and others attended Portland District’s Engineering Day event Feb. 18. During the day they rotated through a series of hands-on workshops and discussion panels and also toured the Park Avenue West Tower construction site hosted by TMT Development, KPFF and Hoffman Construction. The Society of American Military Engineers provided a complimentary luncheon and sponsored a mini job fair staffed by local engineering firms and Oregon state University. Students were split into groups during the day and were mentored by more than a dozen of the District's Engineer-in-Training employees. Students from 25 high schools participated some coming from far away north as Tacoma, Wash. and east from Hood River, Ore.
Dr. Jeffrey Siegel, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin displays equations relating to the ideal gas law in office.
Dr. Siegel recently received the Early Career Award from the International Society of Exposure Analysis to research the efficacy of particle removal in ion air purification devices.
His research interests include design of energy-efficient buildings, indoor air quality, and indoor particle dynamics. He is currently interested in resuspension of particles from building surfaces, protecting buildings.
Future engineers receive their education in international degree programmes at Valkeakoski Campus.
Valkeakoski Campus offers two degree programmes in the field of engineering:
- Degree Programme in Industrial Management and Engineering
- Degree Programme Automation Engineering
