India is a country which is in forefront of being called a developed nation. To be a developed nation, India has to first look at its rural development, because 70 percent of the population live in rural areas, which means more than 700 million people are spread across 6,27,000 villages. Rural development is more than ever before linked to entrepreneurship. Establishments and agencies promoting rural development now look at entrepreneurship as a strategic development medium that could speed up the rural development process. Development institutions believe that rural entrepreneurship offers a huge potential for employment. In this paper a case study of a young entrepreneur who has taken up horticulture (vegetable plants nursery) as his full time profession, with a mission to help the neighbouring farmers is studied, the purpose of this paper is to understand the government role (policies and schemes), the difficulties faced by the entrepreneur during the startup time and knowledge transfer from the horticulture department, nursery management. The methodology followed is in-depth interaction with the entrepreneur. The outcome of paper will be to understand how rural entrepreneurship is helping improve the quality of life for families, communities and individuals leading to sustainable economy and environment.

The paper deals with the identification of occupational injury among workers in selected cement industries of Bangladesh. In this regard, the case study was conducted to extract the overall scenario of the occupational injury. Injury data were collected by using questionnaires from the workers as well as supervisors of four cement industries. The data collected were analyzed in terms of different variables, such as body parts, agent of accident, experience, age, skill, and type of injury. Pareto analysis was then applied to find a pattern of occupational injury among the workers. The study disclosed that arm, leg, hand finger, Eye and head covered 82.81% of total i njury frequency, 76.56% of total injuries by welding, bucket elevator, belt conveyor and weight lifting, low experienced and high experienced workers have 84.38% of total injury frequency, age group of 21-25 and 51-55 have the maximum injury frequency, 78.13% injury occurred by highly skilled and unskilled workers and 79.1% of total injury is temporary disable type injury. The paper also provides specific suggestions followed by some action plans. Keywords injury; accident; workers; safety; cement industry; training.

Developing an engineering student's awareness of sustainability through the embedding of sustainability curricula is widely considered to be essential to modernising chemical engineering degree programs. In this chapter, the chemical engineering program at James Cook University is used as a case study to illustrate the design and sequencing of embedded curricula associated with developing a students' awareness of sustainability. There are a wide range of examples of skills, techniques, and characteristics associated with developing this awareness. In this chapter, an approach is described whereby a set of generic and interdisciplinary capabilities are developed to provide a degree of flexibility in how sustainability is interpreted and taught. A cognitive learning matrix is utilised as a design tool that facilitates determination of new subject learning outcomes aligned with the sustainability capabilities. A variety of curriculum examples are introduced and described.

This chapter deals with the use of Applets, which are examples of software applications, combined with a specific methodology of teaching, based on Paulo Freire’s education concepts. According to his methods, co-creation between its participants is fundamental for the effectiveness of learning process. In that way, to promote a cooperative learning, the Applet should have interactive features. The Chemistry course of Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo, in which students take in the first semester of the first year of the engineering course, was the case study. First, a research with the teachers of the Chemical Engineering Department was carried out, to identify the main problems and difficulties teachers and students face. Then, a topic was selected to be explored with the Applet, which was developed and applied to a small group of students. To identify the success of this experiment a questionnaire was created and the results are presented in this chapter. Some conclusions were drawn and the interactive features of the Applet received a positive feedback.

Inputs And Outputs

Modern wedge bonders have evolved since their early inception in 1957. This paper will review the common challenges process engineers face when selecting a wedge bond machine configuration and developing robust processes. Wedge bond cases presented will show the tradeoff between process inputs and the resulting bond shapes, bond appearance of black ring, burrs, pull results, etc. The purpose of this work was to optimize the process outputs: bond shape, black ring, burrs, and pulls on a die with aluminum bond pads. Process inputs included Force, Time, and Ultrasonic Level. An aluminum wafer was used to understand the basic relationship between process parameter inputs and outputs. The learning was then applied to a die with aluminum bond pads. Examples of non-compliance and compliance will be shown to help process engineers evaluate wedge bonds and make refinements. The case studied was for an aluminum bond pad/Al wafer and 1.5 mil aluminum wire interaction that creates burrs around the bond (wire to pad interface), black ring on the bond periphery (wedge tool to wire interface) and the resulting pulls. Both the graphical and numerical results of the case study have clearly demonstrated the relationship between the typical process inputs and outputs, particularly bond shape, burrs, black ring and pulls. The findings in this study will provide a general guideline and a troubleshooting reference for wedge bonding process development.
