In order to ensure successful innovative development of Latvian mechanical engineering and metalworking industry, quality of human resources is one of the important task. First of all, it is necessary to name health of people working in the industry. In Latvia a number of occupational diseases increased, with the greatest growth taking place in manufacturing industry, integral part of which is the engineering and metalworking industry. The problem of accidents at work is also urgent, the number of diseases caused by growing stress. Taking into consideration difficult demographic situation in Latvia and the existing problems in labor market, this situation requires special attention. In the article, the author substantiates the importance and prospects of the development of health tourism as an important factor in maintaining the health and working ability of workers in engineering industry.

The Relationship

This study explores whether changing design objectives during introductory mechanical engineering courses would improve design novelty and quality when these courses offer a competition element. Design fixation can occur when students are presented with the same design objective because the institutionalized “best” solutions are transferred from semester to semester and student to student. Design competitions are a popular way to teach the design and construction components, often with a focus on robotics. Some competitions are newly designed and rebuilt every single semester, requiring advanced planning and often high budgets. Others reuse a similar competition from year to year without any changes to the design objectives. This paper tries to answer whether or not students are building more novel designs when the competition changes from semester to semester. In this study, robots from four different configurations for a design-and-build activity were analyzed. The unchanged design prompt and 3 semesters of different design prompts were included in the study. The evaluations of the robots were based on the performance of the robots, the type and quality of the designs, and the relationship between the design competition and the robots. Results from this study suggest that changing design objectives (i.e. challenges found in a robotic competition) allows for a wider variation in the designs. While the average novelty did not change, students were no longer limited to and fixated on a very small range of designs.

Licensure examination performance provides an indication of the effectiveness of the curricular program to develop core competencies of students. The study aimed to evaluate the quality of Cebu Technological University’s engineering programs by determining the performance of its graduates in the licensure examinations from 2005 to 2012 and comparing it with the national standard. It also benchmarked its performance with that of the top four private engineering schools of Cebu. Source of data was the Professional Regulation Commission. The result of the study showed that there were no significant differences between the CTU College of Engineering’s performance in the licensure examinations of both Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering as against the National passing performance. There were no significant differences between the performance of CTU and the performance of the top four engineering schools of Cebu in both Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Based on those findings, it can be concluded that the performance of CTU College of Engineering in the licensure examinations is comparable with that of the national standard. It is also comparable with the performances of the top four private engineering schools of Cebu. It is effective in its curricular programs in engineering, competent to provide quality engineering education at par with the top engineering schools of Cebu and the rest of the nation, and capable of producing globally competent engineers.   Keywords - Engineering Education, licensure exam performance, quantitative, t-test, one-way analysis of variance,  Philippines, Asia

Isogeometric finite element methods and more recently boundary element methods have been successfully applied to problems in mechanical engineering and have led to an increased accuracy and a reduction in simulation effort. Isogeometric boundary element methods have great potential for the simulation of problems in geomechanics, especially tunneling because an infinite domain can be considered without truncation. In this paper we discuss the implementation of the method in the research software BEFE++. Based on an example of a spherical excavation we show that a significant reduction in the number of parameters for describing the excavation boundary as well as an improved quality of the results can be obtained.

Abstract The corrosion scientist and corrosion engineer are complementary; their efforts are synergistic in solving problems of corrosion control. The broad background of a corrosion engineer capable of covering the entire field of corrosion engineering includes knowledge of chemistry, metallurgy, physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, stress analysis, economics, human nature and many other fields. The corrosion scientist and corrosion engineer should regard each other with equal esteem, the only basis for evaluating the other's efforts being quality of work.
