It is now fully accepted that industrial processes involving particulate systems are in the mainstream of chemical engineering practice, research and education.
In this chapter, we discuss design optimization one of the mainstream methods in support of engineering design.
But from a Goldbergian perspective, the contest is actually counterproductive, fueling the sort of mainstream engineering that Goldberg was challenging.
The applicability of mainstream software engineering methods is assessed and techniques (e.g., software design, component-based development, software architecture, system integration and test) are also discussed in the context of this domain.
The advent of molecular biology into mainstream biomedical engineering permitted the probing of molecular pathways leading to the biodegradation of these materials.
While just a few years ago, synthetic biology was seen as an avant-garde concept, its ideas and methods have now largely entered the mainstream of molecular biology and genetic engineering, so much so that the necessity for its ambitious engineering metaphors is already being debated [ 9,10].
To decrease the amount of carbon monoxide emission in the mainstream smoke, the engineering of all cigarette components including cellulosic cigarette paper and tobacco column is critical.
The Spark is, at once, an impressive feat of engineering and a reminder that drones are a ways from being true mainstream devices.
Regius professor of engineering, Cambridge University engineering department.
With the growing popularity of knowledge-based systems, there arose also a need for a systematic approach for building such systems, similar to methodologies in mainstream software engineering.
Both were remarkable feats of engineering.
