Part I: Topic
For my week 7 field of study project, the focus will be on electric vehicles and whether they are
the wave of the future. I will be outlining the different countries that have shifted from
conventional to electric vehicles. I will be exploring the different types of electric vehicles, the
difference in prices and depreciation for both conventional and electric vehicles as well as giving
my personal opinion on why I think the transition from conventional to electric will be
mandatory in near future.

Source Summary:
This source goes a bit more in depth with maintenance prices for electric
vehicles compared to fuel powered vehicles. There’s also insightful information on rebates and
incentives for electric cars and if they are smart investments. Lastly there is a comparison
between fuel sources for each which breaks down the use of electric vehicle battery and it’s
decrease in price given the advancement of technology.

Question 3
You are working on a design team at a small orthopaedic firm. Your team is starting to work on a lower limb
(foot-ankle) prosthesis for individuals who have undergone foot amputation (bone resection at the distal tibia). You remember hearing
about "osseointegration" in an exciting orthopaedic engineering class you attended at Clemson, so you plan to attach the foot
prosthesis using a solid metal rod inserted into the distal tibia. You think stainless steel or titanium alloy might be a useful rod material.
You decide to begin this problem by identifying typical tibial bone anatomy and mechanical behavior (as provided in the tables and
image below). You assume the tibial bone can be modeled as a hollow cylinder of cortical bone, as represented in the image. You
anticipate the length of the rod will be 1/2 the length of the tibia.
Q3G: Critical Thinking: What would you propose to your team as the next step in this analysis? Is it reasonable to assume the rod
will experience the…

Project 1: Reciprocating/internal combustion engines are widely used as a portable electrical generator in many commercial and industrial applications. You are required to describe the operation sequence of different types of available engines and explain their mechanical efficiency.
You have been asked to deliver a detailed technical report and show your approach in solving and discussing the following: 1. By constructing simple sketch, show the properties and characteristics of reciprocating/internal combustion engine of both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI). You must indicate the following, in case they are existed:
a. Piston-cylinder parts, Top dead centre TDC, Bottom dead centre BDC, and Clarence volume.
b. Intake vale, Exhaust Valve, Spark plug, Stroke displacement, Bore dimeter.
c. Show the complete cycle of ideal Otto and Diesel cycles by means of P-V and T-S diagrams, showing on them the input and output heat and net output work, process type (isentropic,…

How many wind turbines are required to replace energy provide by a power plant on campus?Assume a wind turbine power rating of 3 MW, a capacity factor of 30%. (the power plant on campus provides around 25,000 MWh)
How many of these wind turbines would be required to generate all of the energy (on-campus + utility)?The total electricity consumption on campus was around 200,000 MWh. Assume the same energy needs and transmission loss. I
If utility carbon emissions for campus electricity are 1.38 lb CO2/kWh based on secondary power plant energy, how many tons/yr CO2 are avoided if the total campus electricity consumption in part 2 comes from wind power? Assume 5% transmission loss for the utility and all electricity comes from the utility.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of…
