Electronic Supply Chains Sending Mixed Messages
There may be a reason for industry optimism in June sales compared to May 2020. According to a recent survey of Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) members, the electronic component sales expectation jumped to nearly 113 for the month of June compared to May. Improved sales expectations were reported for every major component category including electro-mechanical/connectors, passives and semiconductors.
Hippocratic Oath for Engineers Rings True
Doctors have the Hippocratic Oath, which is a code of ethics famously guiding physicians to first and foremost do no harm to their patients. This oath was one of the earlies5 ethical codes ever recorded, dating back to the times of the Greeks. It outlined moral principles and values to govern the conduct of both the individual physician and the profession. Other professional groups such as lawyers and accountants have since developed their own ethical creeds.
16 Robots that Shaped Engineers
Here’s a collection of robots that influenced me to become an engineer as well as robots that I met later in life at universities, trade shows and the like. Astro Boy is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka in the 1950s. In the series, Astro is introduced as a robot male with human emotions created by Umataro Tenma. Tragically, Tenma created Astro in the image of his deceased son Tobio Tenma.
Philosophy, Technology and Morality: A Volatile Combination?
Growing concerns about environmental degradation, climate change, artificial intelligence and other potentially ‘existential’ threats to human survival and progress have made the future of humanity seem increasingly tenuous. Is it inevitable that the human species will self-destruct, as some argue? Or is there a way forward that not only leads to our survival but also to flourishing.
What we can Learn About COVID-19 from Apollo 13
It was the 11th of April 1970 when astronaut’s Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert were launched on the third ever moon landing mission. As they neared their target on the third day of the Apollo 13 mission, one of the oxygen tanks in the Service Module (SM) exploded. It was later determined that the explosion resulted from a series of pre-launch mishaps that led to a sparking from exposed wires within the tank.
20 Famous Women Scientists and Engineers with a lot to Say
For over 28 years, the Institute for Science, Engineering and Public Policy (ISEPP) has provided public education and dialogue with leaders and experts from the major branches of science and disciplines of engineering. The institute’s main vehicle for these conversations was through the Linus Pauling Memorial lecture series, which was run and organized in it’s later years by Terry Bristol.
Create Once and Test Everywhere: The Promise of Portable Stimulus
The problem was straightforward: Different test platforms were used by different engineering professionals throughout the verification phases of simulation, emulation, prototyping and other types of testing. In the semiconductor chip world, verification refers to the process in which a design is tested (or verified) against a given design specification before tape-out, i.e., before the design is made into a silicon chip.
