Basic Structures for Engineers and Architects

When I was 16 I had a Saturday job as a shelf-stacker at a local supermarket. One day, during a tea break, a co-worker asked me what I did the rest of the week. I explained that I had just done O Levels and was going on to do A Levels. I told him how many and in which subjects. He then asked me about my career aspirations (not his exact words). I explained that I wanted to become an engineer. His aghast response was: ‘What! With all those qualifi cations?’

Engineers suffer from a lack of public perception of what their profession entails – many people think we spend our days in the suburbs, mending washing machines and televisions. Architects are more fortunate in this respect – the public have a better grasp of their profession: ‘They design buildings, don’t they?’

Public perceptions aside, careers in both civil engineering and architecture can be extremely rewarding. There are few other careers where individuals can be truly creative, often on a massive scale. The civil engineering profession offers a variety of working environments and a large number of specialisms within civil engineering. Civil engineers have opportunities to work all over the world, on projects large and small, and could come into contact with a wide variety of people, from the lowest worker on a construction site to government offi cials and heads of state.

At the start of the 21st century there is a huge demand for civil engineers and many young people (and some not so young!) are realising that this is a profession well worth entering.

Nanoscale Devices: Fabrication, Functionalization, and Accessibility from the Macroscopic World (NanoScience and Technology)
Nanoscale Devices: Fabrication, Functionalization, and Accessibility from the Macroscopic World (NanoScience and Technology)

The evolution of the microelectronics is controlled by the idea of scaling. However, the scaling of the device size below 10 nm is expected to be impossible because of physical, technological and economic reasons. Fundamental considerations (based on Heisenberg's principle, Schrödinger equation, decoherence of quantum states, and Landauer...

The Neuregulin-I/ErbB Signaling System in Development and Disease (Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology)
The Neuregulin-I/ErbB Signaling System in Development and Disease (Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology)

Neuregulins are EGF-like growth and differentiation factors that interact with tyrosine kinase receptors of the ErbB family. Neuregulin signals are also involved in the development diseases including breast cancer, heart disease and the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This book reviews the biology of Neuregulins and their receptors and...
