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..."
I'm teaching a course in Berlin this July, drawing on the paper folding exercises taught at the Bauhaus by Josef Albers as part of his preliminary course. To that end, I've been reverse-engineering all of the examples I've been able to find from historical documentation.
This small surface-gap plug has an overall length is .780 inch, 10-32 thread, 7mm hex.

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)

Here's some recent paper toys I've designed at my day job at C3. The Super Man is a paper bobble head. The fire engine ladder swivels and extends. These are all diecut toys with glueless construction. You'll find these in kiddie meals at your favorite fast food places soon.

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
