Question
Identify disciplines of engineers working in each of the following areas and explain clearly what specific task(s)/function(s) each engineer performs. In each part first list the main disciplines then proceed to explain their specific task(s) function(s). 1. An oil refinery 2. A large beverage factory producing soft drinks 3. Design department of an automobile manufacturer 4. A consulting company specializing in design and evaluation of suspension bridges 5. The manufacturer of X-Ray machines for medical Diagnosis 6. A production facility converting copper blocks to electric wires 7. The manufacturing facility of a company producing bullet resistance jackets primarily made of layers of a material called Kevlar. 8. The design department of a computer industry responsible for the design of enclosures for personal computers.Explanation / Answer
Primarilly, in all asked industries, Common engineering deptts. are as -> Instrumentation, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics. Further, with respect to specific industry, foloowings are discussed:
1. An Oil Refinary: Team of Chemical Engineers who are responsible for maintaining and monitoring of oil parameters like viscosity, density etc in addition to flow rate at different stags. Besides, Power Planty utility is on big area in oil refinaries where power is being produced for power production (utility Deptt.). Then maintenance deptt. prrimarilly consists of mechanical , electrical and electronics engineer for maintaenance in the refinary.
2. A large factory producing soft drings: Primarilly a chemical engineer for maintaining the density, viscosity and fklow rate at different stages along with maintenance engineers as discussed in ans. 1.
Besides the dring tasters are important engineers in maintaining the taste of the drinks.
3. In automobile industry, mechanical engineers with specialization in engine technology are the key factor. However, the body design engineers are the front end engineers who gives the aerodynamic design to the automobile.
4. A consultancy company providing suspension bridges should have very well qualified and experieced civil engineers to design and build sudtainable bridges. Besides, material scince engineers are the back bone of the company.
5. X-ray machine developing industry should consisit of medical electronics engineers with proper knowledge of x-rays effect on human body. Mechanical enegineer for x-ray machibne design and instrumentation engineer for control of the machine and software.
6. Copper block/electrical wire making company i.e. cable industry primarilly should be equipped with material sc ienc engieers for best material blend for cable making.
7. Again in bullet making company, the role of material science engineer is very important for material testing and selection.
8. Computer enclosure making company should have experienced mechanical engineers for making smallest body for the computer parts i.e. smallest space for maximum components housuing.
