Slice of life
Article Abstract:
Engineers should realize that integrating engineering analysis in the early stages of the design process can reduce or even eliminate physical testing. Analysis can involve the use of plug and play solutions such as those based on the international data exchange standard STEP or extensions provided by the Generic Engineering analysis model. However, benchmark tests must be developed to verify models and analysis techniques. Analysis must also be performed within a framework of analysis procedures.

Ecological engineering: a cooperative role with the planetary life-support system
Article Abstract:
Ecological engineering is an ecological paradigm concerned with the creation of ecosystems that serve human needs and are sustainable with the present state of diminishing resources. Basic and applied sciences are combined in this approach. The self-designing capability of ecosystems determine the utilization of the method leading towards biological conservation. Sample projects are categorized by scale and briefly discussed.

Management of engineering/design phase
Article Abstract:
The management of the engineering phase of a constructionproject has always been largely neglected because of its minimal 3%-10% portionin the total project cost. Lack of quantitative productivity measurements also inhibit management of the engineering/design phase. The definition of current variance is disputed, as well as other terminologies used. Other aspects of engineering/design management are also discussed.
