Everyday engineering [videorecording]: understanding the marvels of daily life / by Ressler, Stephen J.,instructor.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Course guidebook includes bibliographical references (pages 388-391).Presenter, Stephen Ressler, United States Military Academy at West Point.Look around you. Great masterpieces of engineering are everywhere. As soon as you get out of bed in the morning, you are putting centuries of scientific and mechanical ingenuity to use. So familiar are these structures, inventions, and services that they are all but invisible. Yet they are just as remarkable as great works such as the Parthenon, the Eiffel Tower, and the Panama Canal. Everyday Engineering: Understanding the Marvels of Daily Life is an indispensable guide to the way things work in the world around you. Conducting this eye-opening tour is Professor Stephen Ressler of the United States Military Academy at West Point, an award-winning civil engineer and a nationally honored leader in engineering education. In 36 half-hour lectures, richly illustrated with instructive physical models, computer animations, and graphics designed by Professor Ressler himself, you start by learning how a house is put together with all its subsystems. Then you move outside to trace the origin and route of water, power, and telecommunications networks. Finally, you hit the road to discover how automobiles function and how roads and highway bridges are engineered. Along the way, Everyday Engineering investigates power plants, dams, aqueducts, railroads, communication satellites, home energy efficiency, simple machines around the house, recycling, and many other topics. No background in science or engineering is needed to follow this riveting presentation, which gives you deep insight into the underlying simplicity of the complex systems that enhance our lives.DVD.

The goals were to develop (1) human factors guidelines, (2) methods for testing safety and ease of use, and (3) a model that predicts human performance with these systems. After reviewing the human factors literature, focus groups were conducted to assess driver attitudes towards new information systems. Next, the extent to which these systems might reduce traffic accidents, improve traffic operations, and satisfy driver needs and wants was examined. Based on that effort and contract requirements, five functions were selected for further evaluation - route guidance, traffic information, road hazard warning, cellular phone, and vehicle monitoring.Performed by the University of Michigan, Transportation Research Institute for the Office of Safety and Traffic Operations R & D, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.

Cutting the cord : the cell phone has transformed humanity / by Cooper, Martin,1928-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-228) and index.Out of the ditch : immigrants and entrepreneurs -- From teleprinters to transistors -- Car phones : encountering the AT&T monopoly -- From Loser to leader : quartz crystals -- From mobility to portability -- A cup of coffee goes further than a dropped ceiling -- Dawn of wireless : the war in Washington that created cellular -- The theater of innovation -- The brick christened DynaTAC : birth of the cell phone -- Eureka doesn't happen -- Putting cell phones in people's pockets -- Fulfilling my family legacy. Bridge : Marty's maxims -- How the cell phone changes lives -- Taking on poverty -- Affordable and accessible wireless is the public interest -- Transforming how we learn -- Enhancing how we work together -- From sick care to health care to human 2.0."The cell phone changed the world. It revolutionized how people communicate, freed them to get in touch with one another at any time, and in any place without the constraints of the wired network. The cell phone led to the creation and growth of new industries. Yet the true story of its creation has not been told... Cutting the Cord tells that story. It centers on a battle for control of how people communicate, involving government regulators, lobbyists, police, technology breakthroughs, failures, quartz, and a horse. At the center of that story was Martin Cooper, an engineer, entrepreneur, and futurist. The chapters of his life influenced the creation of the cell phone. Industry skirmishes became a political war in Washington, a struggle to prevent a monopolistic company from dominating telecommunications. The drama culminated in the first-ever public call made on a handheld, portable telephone--a cell phone. Despite that, the cell phone we know today almost didn't happen. Without the vision of a small group at Motorola, the last 40 forty years would have been significantly different. Their story is inspiring and instructive. After a twenty-nine-year career at Motorola, Cooper became an entrepreneur, helping launch companies dedicated to accelerating cell phone adoption..."--
