I am starting my final year of my Electrical/ Electronic Degree (top-up) i have completed a HND in the same subject as well as been working as a design engineer (using AutoCAD & E-Plan) a software engineer (programming Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi & some Siemens PLC's and relevant HMI's) and have also got experience in running a project from meetings and quotations all the way through to testing and commissioning stages. This was mainly with the food industry but now i looking at trying to make a break into the Oil & Gas industry or Drilling & Mining Industry.

This is purely for the larger finanical gains and greater opportunities that i may be able to see from such leading and larger companies involved in these areas. I would love to work internationally as opposed to just nationwide and would possibly even relocate.

I am a little niave to the types of jobs that would be available to someone like myself and i do not plan on making a move until i have my degree completed along with other courses such as my Comp'Ex, BOSIET & MIST.

Would it be of any advantage to me to take part in an NVQ level 3 electrical maintenance/ installation course just so i could take a more hands on job to find a way into these industries or would it be better advised i follow a different route? I have experience "on the tools" (aiding installations, fault findings and control panel wiring,etc)as part of my job over the past 4-5years however do not have the paperwork to provide back up to this.

If there is any advice available i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

I'm looking for some guidance on the do's and dont's of contactors and where they can be placed in motor circuits, and hope someone may be able to help.

I have a situation where I need to put remote reversing of a pump via a dialup RTU. Its been fine with Star Delta anfd DOL, as well as with some VSDs as there is sometimes a parameter option to enable reverse control.

However, I have a softstart that I want to reverse. I was going to put the reversing contactor on the line side but believe some units will detect phase rotation errors, therefore want to put the reversing contactor on the load side. The main question I have is; will a standard power contactor be suitable for the high frequency thyristor switching that a softstart delivers??

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated?

Recently a remarkable development in automation and mechanisation has been achieved. It is particularly relevant its application in the livestock industry.

Within this context, the unification in how software of such systems is developed and the use of simulation processes to study what are the best solutions adopt, attending the particular characteristics of the farm and the production constitutes an interesting field of research and industrial application.

The Smart Farm concept includes not only the areas previously cited, but also and specially simulation. Using suitable simulation tools, farmers may identify not only the best equipment, but also how to improve the production process, the selection of products and obtain solutions which anticipate future problems. The potential of this area is increasing and it can be extended to small and medium farms, and, even, fish farms.

On this context the 1st Workshop on Smart Farms: An integral approach (SF'13) is open to contributions and we hope to be an open forum to discuss the topics from and engineering perspective.

reliable/safe/ethical? Taking responsibility for a complex system is fraught with dangers. As engineers we're probably all aware of open loop control systems and positive feedback. Can we get it right, given political instabilities in the world, and potential negative effects on certain parts of the earth?

necessary? Instead we should learn to reduce our emissions. But the World Bank summary of existing research now suggests that rather than restricting temperature rises to 2 degrees C (ie. "dangerous climate change"), we are on track for 4 degrees C (who knows what that'll be called..., but not quite Dante's Inferno).
Four-Degrees Briefing for the World Bank: The Risks of a Future Without Climate Policy

Humankind's emissions of greenhouse gases are breaking new records every year. Hence we're on a path towards 4-degree global warming probably as soon as by the end of this century. This would mean a world of risks beyond the experience of our civilization -- including heat waves, especially in the tropics, a sea-level rise affecting hundreds of millions of people, and regional yield failures impacting global food security. ... "If we venture far beyond the 2-degree guardrail, towards 4 degrees, we risk crossing tipping points in the Earth system." ... an irreversible process that could start soon

Don't forget that the excess CO2 will still acidify the oceans, and (unilateral) geo-engineering could increase droughts with resultant effects on food security, and conflict...

So rather than discussing climate science in general, what do engineers think about geo-engineering in particular?]]> http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=49363 2012-11-22T16:37:37 00 mkinsey 1 The input data required are as follows:-

There is a conclusive body of evidence to support the existence of man-made climate change.

Temperatures are rising and in the past few decades there has been unprecedented acceleration. We know that our production and burning of fossil fuels is rising. We can measure the chemical signature of the gases in the atmosphere, and they are not all natural. This is due to what we have burned and put into the atmosphere.


Against:
There is no conclusive body of evidence to support the existence of man-made climate change.

There is a conceit that mankind is so important. Less than four per cent of all CO2 produced is manmade. Every tree and creature grows, dies, rots and ferments, giving back its CO2. The oceans covering 70 per cent of the Earth's surface contain 80 per cent of all plant and animal life. Man, compared to that, is far less significant. Only one-quarter of the 30 per cent of the planet that is land can support man unaided - just 7.5 per cent of the entire surface.

We must go back to the Moon and finish what we started.

Why is going back to the Moon with humans important? To answer this we have to look at why we went there in the first place. It's been 40 years since we last put a foot on another planet and we've not set foot anywhere since. It's well known that the driver for the Apollo programme was a Cold War race, but a lesser-known fact is that there was initially a serious scientific purpose behind it.Nasa's original reason to go to the Moon was to read the missing pages of the geological book on our planet, where very few rocks go back much beyond the Cambrian. But with the Moon there is a complete record of the bombardment period and further back. And this was the scientific reason upon which the proposition of sending men to the Moon was founded. But that was soon forgotten as it became simply about beating the Russians, which we know happened in the subsequent missions that landed 12 men on the Moon.


Against:
Mars is the real deal now.

Do we need to go to the Moon first, as some of the Apollo moon-walkers suggest, and set up a base there? Or do we just focus on Mars and forget about going back to the Moon? Some of the astronauts I talk to say there is a benefit in going back to the Moon, while others say it is a waste of money because we only have limited resources and this will delay our attempts on Mars. Buzz Aldrin has proposed a Mars Cycler that will relay between the two planets, taking about five months to complete a single journey. His only question is: what are we waiting for? Mars is the real deal. This is where we will get our 21st Century rocket heroes, our new Neil Armstrong and our new Buzz Aldrin.]]> http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=48848 2012-10-18T16:58:48 00 PaulDonn 2

I would like to be involved within projects that would take me either offshore or to other places such as Canada in the hope for long term contracts abroad or with a permanent move to Canada for work.

I am a Controls Engineer and have been working as such for the past 4 years now, I have completed my HNC electrical engineering and have an understanding of PLC's, HMI's and control panel design using E-Plan P8 Electrica and AutoCAD 2D Design. I have been working greatly on system commissioning, overlooking installations and working on getting projects completed by myself and alongside senior engineers. In the past 6 months I have been given extra responsibilities such as project engineering including estimating and quoting of potential work.

In September 2012 I will begin my HND Electrical/ Electronic engineering and plan on gaining this qualification prior to such a move which will also give me a further 2 years experience in the job I am doing now.

My main concerns are what level of study should I require to make such a move to either offshore or a different country? Does anyone know of any good leads or website links I could take a look at that may help me with this process?

We have a Frech Machine DK450, we are having a few problems with this machine an "Over Heating problem".

The machine starts fine, works normally but the circulating oil is getting too hot which is over heating the machine.

I took out the heat exchanger, cleared the water path by soaking it with de-scaler which cleared the blockage of water

three weeks ago. We recently contacted Frech UK, they advised us to take out the solenoid which is on the water inlet

pipe, this did not solve our problem..

I was asked to control the flow of water through the heat exchanger, it was cooling the temperature slightly but the temperature was not constant and quickly over heats displaying a warning message on the screen "Machine is over heated".

I have checked the oil circulation motor, which is working fine, but I noticed the past few of days the motor is also over
heating.

I want to know what is the operating temperature of the relief valve and other solenoid valve, because some of the solenoid valves heats up to 58 degree C.

Having the option of getting parcels delivered to a convenient local pick-up point so they could be collected before or after work, not having to be at home to receive them or having to travel to a remote industrial estate would be great.

To some extent as a service, it is also part self-funded, in that the cost of handling fees paid to the post office/collection point are offset by savings to the courier by dropping multiple parcels at a single point, saving of time and fuel.

That said, the Post Office would need to work on their customer service, closing at 17:00 isn't exactly convenient for most people who work full time.

Many moons ago (2 years) we released an open source enterprise architecture framework, TRAK, aimed at systems engineers and being barely adequate, pragmatic and simple to use / understand. The main thrust is to produce views that describe real world architecture (relationships between various things) to promote communication and discussion and support analysis.

Although it originated within rail it isn't at all rail-specific since a system doesn't know it's used within a particular domain.

TRAK is based on the international standard - ISO/IEC 42010 for architecture description of systems. It has a set of viewpoints, each of which is a specification for a view that addresses a particular typical set of concerns. Each of these in turn uses a defined set of object types and relationships taken from the underlying metamodel.

For a while now I've thought that there is common ground between safety and security because both address risk, threats, vulnerability and manage the design such that there is an acceptable or tolerable risk. I've posted a description of these thoughts on the TRAK Viewpoints forum with a view to collecting some motivated people together to see whether enterprise architecture could help augment existing methods and whether there is an economical / sparse set of concepts, relationships from which some view might be drawn and therefore specified. I'm particularly keen to get anyone who has knowledge of security and the sorts of things the Cabinet Office require via the Security Policy Framework e.g. RMADS (which might itself comply with one of more ISOs in this area).

It may only be commenting on discussions or helping identify concepts since those of us more deeply involved with TRAK can interpret and implement. It's as much to get an idea of typical outputs, what they contain and therefore whether an EA framework can be of use.

If anyone is interested can they make themselves known on the TRAK Viewpoints forum please.

Thanks.

I have no offshore experience but i have read about becoming a slinger/banksman offshore doesnt require experience aslong as the oprative is competent.

I know a bloke who has been on the rigs for 20+ years so this may come in my favour. Im just curious as to what offshore tickets i will require?

Thanks again and pardon my punctuation and grammer as i have wrote this off my iphone.
