Navigating the Engineering Organization A New Engineer's Guide

Navigating the Engineering Organization A New Engineer's Guide

Transitioning new engineers into professionals who can blend in and contribute to the technical organization is at best doubtful. Trained in the nuts and bolts of a technical subject new engineers have little to no training on the soft skills of how to work within an organization. This robust guide shows new engineers how to quickly operate and succeed within their new engineering organization. Navigating the Engineering Organization: A New Engineer’s Guide focuses on the group behaviors of technical organizations. It provides a rigorous organizational framework to operate from and delivers guidance using a dual approach of academic insight and professional experience. Through numerous case studies the book presents actual experiential guidance and offers a method on how to extend the insights covered in the book and turn them into a valuable personal model valid throughout the engineer’s career. It helps readers understand quickly the unique values and expectations within their new engineering organization and guides them in discovering the proper ways to respond to these expectations. They can then act on these insights to deliver successful results now and throughout their careers. The approach and goals found in this book provide a building block to help all new engineers cross the Great Divide from student to professional and succeed in their new engineering organization. | Navigating the Engineering Organization A New Engineer's Guide

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

The term “mechatronics” was coined in 1969 merging “mecha” from mechanism and “tronics” from electronics to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline that is the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term and of mechatronics itself has been growing in the years including new aspects and disciplines like control engineering computer engineering and communication/information engineering. Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain” but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices used in tight interaction with humans that are governed by smart architectures (for example for safety purposes). Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics through the contribution of researchers from different institutions providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields with attention to new fields of application new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available. The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction through robot control navigation planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans ultra-high accuracy model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms. | Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Health Technology Assessment Using Biostatistics to Break the Barriers of Adopting New Medicines

Health Technology Assessment Using Biostatistics to Break the Barriers of Adopting New Medicines

The term health technology refers to drugs devices and programs that can improve and extend quality of life. As decision-makers struggle to find ways to reduce costs while improving health care delivery health technology assessments (HTA) provide the evidence required to make better-informed decisions. This is the first book that focuses on the statistical options of HTAs to fully capture the value of health improvements along with their associated economic consequences. After reading the book readers will better understand why some health technologies receive regulatory or reimbursement approval while others do not what can be done to improve the chances of approval as well as common shortcomings of submissions for drug and device reimbursement. The book begins by contrasting the differences between regulatory approval and reimbursement approval. Next it reviews the principles and steps for conducting an HTA including the reasons why different agencies will have a different focus for their scope in the HTA. Supplying an accessible introduction to the various statistical options for different methods in an HTA the book identifies the links to regulatory and reimbursement decisions for each option. It highlights many of the methodological advances that have occurred since HTA research began to provide researchers and decision-makers with a cutting-edge framework. It also details the logical basis for the methods along with simple instructions on how to conduct the various techniques. Both authors have considerable experience in generating evidence for submissions and reviewing submissions to decision-makers for funding. One of the authors has also received a nationally recognized lifetime achievement award in this area. | Health Technology Assessment Using Biostatistics to Break the Barriers of Adopting New Medicines
