An update on PlayStation's Network Status page said only that PSN was "experiencing issues" and that engineers were working on the problem.
"The complexity of newly engineered systems coupled with their potential impact on lives, the environment, etc., raise a set of ethical issues that engineers had not been thinking about," said William A. Wulf, a computer scientist who until last year headed the National Academy of Engineering.
The Antenna Positioning Problem (APP) is one of the most determinant optimisation issues that engineers face during network life cycle.
Bringing new technology into an environment introduces unforeseen challenges, and just as the development of a product can incite issues that engineers hadn't anticipated during their research stages, restoring "business as usual" after an acquisition can take longer than expected.
However, these inaccuracies do not distract from the otherwise thorough discussions of pollution issues that introduce the interested engineer to ecotoxicology.
But electromagnetic induction technology is not considered by all to be absolutely ideal, because it can release stray radio waves or heat up nearby metal objects unless it is engineered correctly — two issues that can elicit perceived safety concerns.
It also discusses some issues that must be considered when an engineered product seeks to be paid through the healthcare reimbursement system.
The goal of this article is to present some of the key issues that require more fundamental understanding if engineered wetlands are to become a predictable, mainstream approach for decentralized wastewater treatment.
Typical ethical issues that are discussed in engineering ethics are professional obligations of engineers as exemplified in, for example, codes of ethics of engineers, the role of engineers versus managers, competence, honesty, whistle-blowing, concern for safety and conflicts of interest (Davis 1998, 2005; Martin and Schinzinger 2005; Harris, Pritchard, and Rabins 2008).
It was a race ostensibly about hiring a village manager and an engineer -- issues that don't seem worthy of a fervid fight.
