Reflecting changes in the current health and safety landscape, Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Practical Approach, Third Edition includes examples and tools to facilitate development and implementation of a safety and health management approach.
Grounded in contemporary landscape architecture theory and practice, Cybernetics and the Constructed Environment blends examples from art, design, and engineering with concepts from cybernetics and posthumanism, offering a transdisciplinary examination of the ramifications of cybernetics on the constructed environment.
While more and more undergraduate engineering programs are moving toward a multi-disciplinary capstone experience, there remains a need for a suitable textbook.
Safety and Wearable Technology tackles the profound issue of workplace safety, as each day unacceptable numbers of workers lose their lives in accidents, with even more succumbing to work-related illnesses across the globe.
Introduction to Engineering Design is a practical, straightforward workbook designed to systematize the often messy process of designing solutions to open-ended problems.
As the existence of all life forms on our planet is currently in grave danger from the climate emergency caused by Homo sapiens, the words "e;sustainability"e; and "e;eco-responsibility"e; have entered the daily-use vocabularies of scientists, engineers, economists, business managers, industrialists, capitalists, and policy makers.
Capstone Design: Project Process and Reviews (Student Engineering Design Workbook) provides a brief overview of the design process as well as templates, tools, and student design notes.
From AI ethics and cybersecurity to augmented realities, virtual interfaces, and much more, Futureshock provides an accessible introduction to the leading edge topics of today.
La ergonomía tradicional se especializa en el diseño de lugares de trabajo, herramientas y tareas, considerando tres elementos para su estudio: al hombre, la máquina y la labor.
Using many real-world examples and cases, this book identifies key factors and processes that have contributed to the creation of successful new products, buildings, and innovations, or resulted in some failures.
Interior designers use AutoCAD software for their drafting and rendering, but where do they learn to apply basic AutoCAD drafting standards and procedures to their specific needs?
Geometric programming is used for design and cost optimization, the development of generalized design relationships, cost ratios for specific problems, and profit maximization.
Understanding and applying the principles of ergonomics consistently in an organization not only reduces the risk of employee injuries, but it also reduces an organization's costs and increases productivity.
Safety and health concerns in workplaces across the globe continue to be of concern for leaders as they seek to discover novel ways to provide a workplace that preserves the health and safety of workers.
