Oil hydraulics and pneumatics are two branches of engineering dealing with fluid power to perform work. These systems are integral to various industrial and mechanical applications, providing a means to transmit power in a controlled and efficient manner.  The portable hydraulics trainer used by the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT)...Read More

in the shipping industry, machinery and engine failure has been cited as the foremost cause of shipping incidents. Thus, ship owners and operators are now focused on achieving a safe and reliable ship system throughout a vessel’s lifespan through effective maintenance. This is very important for offshore supply vessels like...Read More

This chapter delves into the range of material selection methods to achieve sustainable construction. After the brief introduction, definition, and benefits of sustainable construction, it discusses four main phases of the building life cycle, including production, construction, operation, and end-of-life and their environmental impacts, followed by the classification of sustainable...Read More

The paper focuses on the existing policy framework of the Australian Government concerning solar projects. At present, the policy exhibits preference for favouring large-scale solar projects over distributed installations, a perspectve the authors contend should be reversed.. Authors have systematically assessed the potential benefits of distributed installations for all the...Read More

The 3D-printed arm is actuated with 5 servos, which are controlled with an Arduino microcontroller board, which receives wireless transmission from the operator's glove with flex sensors on each finger. All the electronics are powered using an external source of battery power. This prototype 3D-printed arm can work on various...Read More

Aggregate production planning (APP) deals with the simultaneous determination of plant’s production, inventory and vocation levels over a finite time horizon. The aim of aggregate production planning is to finalize overall output levels in the near to medium future in uncertain demands. In this paper, three different cases of aggregate...Read More

Marine shipping is an important aspect of the transportation system in Canada. It is estimated that 70-80% of items that we are surrounded by and use daily are brought by ships. Canadian businesses need to sell to the world and ships carries their products abroad. For people that live in...Read More

Sometimes, engineers work as consultants to give expert supporting evidence in appropriate circumstances. EIT Course Coordinator and On-Campus Lecturer Dr. Milind Siddhpura shared his experience as an expert witness. Engineers are professionals who innovate and invent to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities. Their ability to use...Read More

Critical equipments of process and heavy engineering industries are prone to significant wear due to intense service conditions. Uneven and uncontrolled wear causes significant changes in dimensional and geometrical accuracies of the part surfaces, which adversely affect the parts’ functionality and service life of these parts. Shorter service life of...Read More
