GREEN WIND PROYECT

We want to create a proyect related with the energy for the problem that Venezuela is happens,so one of the best ways to produce our own electricity is creating Wind Turbine.

A wind turbine converts the energy of wind into kinetic energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as pumping water, cutting lumber or grinding stones, the machine is called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is instead converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power. Is our proyect we are going to work with mechanical energy to converted electricity.

Job Interview

2010-04-12T09:37:00.003-04:30

What happens during a "job interview"?
During the interview you should be confident, enthusiastic and prepared. Listen carefully to what the interview has to say and ask questions about the company. Confidence is of utmost important because if you do not convey to the interviewer that you like yourself and believe in yourself then there is no reason to hire you.

What should I wear for my job interview?
Dressing the part is never something that will get you the job, regardless of how clean your shirt or shiny your shoes. However, it could put the employer off if you fail to follow some basic rules:

• Not too casual - If you get the vibe that casual is OK then stay on the smart side of casual. Ripped jeans, threadbare t-shirts and scruffy trainers should all be left at home. A smart pair of jeans and an open necked shirt is the bare minimum that is expected.

• No headwear – Under no circumstances wear a cap, beanie or hoodie to an interview – you’ll look like you’ve got something to hide. There are obvious religious and medical exceptions to this rule.

• Get the right fit – If you’ve had to borrow an ill-fitting suit for an interview, or just generally like to wear your clothes a little too loose or tight, try and find something a little more regular.

• No flashing – Although it may work in certain industries, cleavage and midriffs should be covered up for job interviews. You should be relying on your other assets to secure you the role.

• Wacky ties – As hilarious as you think they are, your interviewer is unlikely to see you as a new fun addition to the team, instead seeing someone who’s not serious about the job.

• Don’t accessorise too much – remember you want your interviewer to be concentrating on what you’re saying, not the obscure purple broach you’re wearing.

• Subtle make up – You could use make-up to emphasise your eyes and mouth, but should steer clear of anything too outrageous.

• Strong odours – Too much perfume or too little deodorant can both be big turn offs, as can cigarette smells so make sure you smell nice, but neutral.

• Facial hair – The old phrase “Never trust anyone with a beard” is less adhered to nowadays so feel free to go in with your usual fur. However, do make sure it’s well trimmed and clean.

• Piercings and tattoos – Another feature that is increasingly common, and one unlikely to deter an employer. If you can’t remove them, keep any studs small and cover any offensive or obscene body art.

What are the key do's and don'ts for a great interview?
The first thing you have to do to make a great impression in a interview is to make eye contact, smile a lot during the interview thats make a big difference and give a great handshake to your interviewer, show enthusiasm, also wait until finish the question for start to speaking, use a positive body language and ask for the job at the end.

How do I handle an interview in a restaurant or cafe?
You should be prepare for everithing aldo an interview in a restaurant or cafe is signal that is more intimeted, probably it's good for you. It's an enviorement more relaxing and maybe you feel more confidence.

What do I do when more than one person is interviewing me?
Well, when more than one person is interviewing you, you always be able to answer every question about what you can offer to the company.

How can I rescue an interview that I know is going poorly?
First of all, be calm, deep breath, reagroup the ideas and keep going.

What are good tips for a telephone interview?
•Keep your resume in clear view, on the top of your desk, or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions.
•Have a short list of your accomplishments available to review.
•Have a pen and paper handy for note taking.

Who is a person in your field you look up to?

2010-03-15T01:20:00.002-04:30

Newton, Sir Isaac (1642-1727), English natural philosopher, generally regarded as the most original and influential theorist in the history of science. In addition to his invention of the infinitesimal calculus and a new theory of light and color, Newton transformed the structure of physical science with his three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. As the keystone of the scientific revolution of the 17th century, Newton's work combined the contributions of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, and others into a new and powerful synthesis. Three centuries later the resulting structure - classical mechanics - continues to be a useful but no less elegant monument to his genius.

More about Industrial Engineering

2010-02-07T22:57:00.004-04:30

Industrial engineering might not be well-known as mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. People are able to understand what mechanical engineers do from the words itself. however, it is quite difficult to know what industrial engineers do since the definition of the word "industrial" is not that specific as "mechanical". That is the reason that many friends are asking me what Industrial engineers do, and my answer to them is almost everything!

Industrial engineering started with Scientific management in 1920s. With the demand of assembly line concepts. industrial engineer is responsible to create the "standards" in order to maintain and improve the assembly line process. At this time period, the ideals of simple ma thematic model of inventory controls, the method of time study and line balancing were introduced.

During the WWI and WWII, industrial engineers play an important role in planning how to supply the materials and foods to the front lines. It is the supply chain management! Supply Chain management is nothing new to industrial engineering.

As Mechanical engineer focus on the machine, Electronic engineer focus on electronic related study, IE focus on system. System is consist of people, process, equipments. For example, banking system, hospital system, production system, IT related system etc. Therefore, sometimes IE is called manufacturing engineer, process engineer, system engineer etc.

Same as banking system, the queue in the bank is simple queue process that IE is applying queue theory to forecast resources, queue time etc. Similar to customers calling center, IE p

lay the important role to determine the resource allocation and improvement of the customer experience with more effective process.

Definition of Industrial Engineering - The Work of an Industrial EngineerThe field of engineering is subdivided in several major disciplines like mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, electronical engineering, chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, and also industrial engineering. Certainly this disciplines can also be subdivided further.

Industrial Engineering integrates knowledge and skills from several fields of science: From the Technical Sciences, Economic Sciences as well as Human Science - all these can also be supported with skills in Information Sciences. The Industrial Engineer comprehends knowledge in those sciences in order to increase the productivity of processes, achieve quality products and assures Labour safety.

What Industrial Engineers do?

So what do industrial engineers do to increase productivity and assure quality?

An Industrial Engineer can perform several activities to fulfil its task:Processes and Procedures of manufacturing or service activites can be examined through Process AnalysisHe can Use Work Study comprehending Method Study and Time Study.

Method Study is the Study of How a job is performed examining and recording the activities, operators, equipment and materials involved in the process.

Time Study records and rates the times of jobs being performed. The mentioned activities are also called operations Management. Furthermore can Industrial Engineering involve inventory management to make a manufacturing process more feasible and efficient. Industrial Engineers are also involved in design activities for Products, Equipment, Plants an Workstations. Here ergonomics and motion economy play a role. Last but not least is the Industrial Engineer playing an important role in developing Quality Management Systems (as they i.e. should comply with the ISO 9000 Standards). Here they often have job titles like Quality Engineer or Quality Manager.
