Engineering Engineering The 5-M Factors are a model called Man-Machine-Medium-Mission-Management, and are used to examine the nature of accidents in the transport industries. It was started by T.P. Wright's Man-Machine-Environment triad at Cornell University. The 5-M incorporates a diagram of 3 intertwined circles and one all-encompassing circle. In each of the smaller circles "Man," "machine," and "medium" are placed. The large circle is labeled "Management." The space in the middle where they all meet is called "Mission," which is the objective the other four M's have in common. ...more on Wikipedia about "5 M factors"
Accelerated aging is a testing method used to estimate the useful lifespan of a product when actual lifespan data is unavailable. This occurs with products that have not existed long enough to have gone through their useful lifespan: for example, a new type of car engine or a new polymer for replacement joints. ...more on Wikipedia about "Accelerated aging"

Agricultural engineering is the discipline of engineering in agricultural, food, and biological systems. Agricultural engineers design agricultural machinery and equipment and agricultural structures. Some specialties include power system and machinery design; structures and environment; and food and bioprocess engineering. They develop ways to conserve soil and water and to improve the processing of agricultural products. Agricultural engineers work in production, sales, management, development of research or applied science and not in the Science. ...more on Wikipedia about "Agricultural engineering"
ARIZ (russ. acronym of Алгоритм решения изобретательских задач) - Algorithm of Inventive Problems Solving is problem solving technique in form of list of (about 85) step-by-step procedures that incrementally evolves a complex problem to a point where it is simple to solve. See also Genrich Altshuller. ...more on Wikipedia about "Algorithm of Inventive Problems Solving"
The angle of repose is an engineering property of particulate solids. When bulk particles are poured onto a horizontal surface, a conical pile will form. The angle between the edge of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area, and coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle of repose forms flatter piles than material with a high angle of repose. ...more on Wikipedia about "Angle of repose" This text is made for www.shortopedia.com shortopedia

Aquatic and environmental engineering; an engineering topic, used sometimes as a synonym for Civil engineering by some universities in Sweden, since the word ' civil engineer' often refers to an engineering degree. ...more on Wikipedia about "Aquatic and environmental engineering"
Architectural engineers apply the skills of many engineering disciplines to the design, construction, operation, maintenance and renovation of buildings while paying attention to their impacts on the surrounding environment. In countries such as Canada, the UK and Australia, architectural engineering is more commonly known as Building Engineering. In some languages, "architect" is literally translated as "architectural engineer". ...more on Wikipedia about "Architectural engineering"
Astroengineering is the construction of megastructures in space by technologically advanced beings. It is a form of megascale engineering, but deals with structures that are "easily observable" from interstellar or even intergalactic distances with 20th century astronomical instruments: i.e. An orbital elevator is an example of megascale engineering, but it is not an example of astroengineering. Typically proposed feats of astroengineering are on the scale to remake an entire stellar system. ...more on Wikipedia about "Astroengineering"
Automation ( ancient Greek: = self dictated) or industrial automation or numerical control is the use of control systems (e.g. computers) to control industrial machinery and processes, replacing human operators. It is a step beyond mechanization, where human operators are provided with machinery to assist them with the physical requirements of work. ...more on Wikipedia about "Automation"
Axiomatic design is system design methodology using matrix methods to systematically analyze the transformation of customer needs into functional requirements, design parameters, and process variables. The method gets its name from its use of design principles or design Axioms (i.e., given without proof) governing the analysis and decision making process in developing high quality product or system designs. A discussion of the methodology is given here ** and here ** . Axiomatic design is considered to be a design method that addresses fundamental issues in Taguchi methods. ...more on Wikipedia about "Axiomatic design"
Biological engineering (also biosystems engineering and bioengineering) is a broad-based engineering discipline that deals with bio-molecular and molecular processes, product design, sustainability and analysis of biological systems. Generally, bioengineering encompasses other engineering disciplines when they are applied to living organisms (e.g., prosthetics in mechanical engineering). Bioengineering is often synonymous with biomedical engineering, though in the strict sense the term can be applied more broadly to include food engineering and agricultural engineering. Biotechnology also falls under the purview of the broad umbrella of bioengineering. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bioengineering"
"Biohacking" is the term applied to the art (or science) of hacking biology; using nature's built-in mechanisms for human purposes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Biohacking"
Bionics (also known as biomimetics, biognosis, or biomimicry, Bionical Creatology, Bionical Creativity Engineering (S.Mahdi Golestan Hashemi) is the application of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. Also a short form of biomechanics, the word 'bionic' is actually a portmanteau formed from biology (from the Greek word "βιος", pronounced "vios", meaning " life") and electronic. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bionics"
The term brain implants, also known as neural implants, usually refers to devices of a technological nature that are connected directly to a biological subject's brain - usually placed on the surface of the brain, or attached to the brain's cortex. A common purpose of modern brain implants and the focus of much current research is establishing a biomedical prosthesis circumventing areas in the brain, which became dysfunctional after a stroke or other head injuries. This includes sensory substitution, e.g. in vision. Brain implants involve creating interfaces between neural systems and computer chips, popularly called brain-machine interfaces. ...more on Wikipedia about "Brain implant"
The Bridgman seal seals a high pressure volume by the use of an unsupported area to create a higher pressure between two pistons. A viscous material such as copper or soap-stone is used in the generated higher pressure area to seal the intended pressure area. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bridgman seal"
Building envelope refers to the exterior surface that encloses the interior space of a building. It serves as the outer shell to protect the indoor environment as well as to facilitate its climate control. Building envelope design is an application area that draws from all areas of building engineering, especially building science and indoor environment. It focuses on the analysis and design of envelope systems, including material components, durability, heat and moisture transfer, interaction with the indoor, outdoor environments and with the structural shell. ...more on Wikipedia about "Building envelope"

In engineering, a caisson is a retaining, watertight structure used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, or for the repair of ships. These are constructed so that the water can be pumped out so the working environment is dry. When piers are to be built using the open caisson and it is not practical to reach suitable soil, friction pilings may be driven to form a suitable sub-foundation. These piles are connected by a foundation pad upon which the column pier is erected. ...more on Wikipedia about "Caisson (engineering)"
