Engineering Description -- Ju-87 Bomb-Release Trapeze One of the most innovative and successful aircraft of the early World War II era was the German Junkers 87 "Stuka" dive bomber that actually pioneered the concept of dive bombing as a military aviation tactic (Crosby, 2007; Jackson, 2003)

The Ju-87 "Stuka" was the first dedicated dive bomber in the world and its design specifications reflected two critical advances: the autopilot pullout feature and the swing-out bomb trapeze (Crosby, 2007; Jackson, 2003). The first was necessitated by the fact that the intense G-forces of the vertical dive often caused pilots to black out (Reinhart, 2008); the second was necessitated to allow the plane to release a bomb in the vertical orientation without the bomb hitting the propeller
You may have hard about wireless LANs or Wi-Fi, which is a technology that encodes your information into a radio wave, much the same used for sending music and new information to car stereos across broad distances. The greater the frequency of the radio wave, the more data it can carry from a broadcasting device to a receiver or router, which is what many laptops, tablet PCs and smartphones have in them today (Varshney, Vetter, 2000)
An important consideration in this is the different types of load that employees may experience. Those employees who have reported fatigue, for example, are not physically overburdened with work, but might experience their burden keenly in a psychological sense (Overgaard, Gyntelberg, and Heitmann, 2004, p
However, like other sciences, engineering science is a continually evolving field in which a professional cannot rely exclusively on prior training to remain competent in the field. Since so many aspects of applied engineering directly affect human safety, it is essential that all practicing professional engineers continually update their knowledge bases and skills (Harris, Pritchard, & Rabins, 2008)
A more formal definition of social engineering provides a stricter description of the practice. In this sense, "Social engineering is the practice of obtaining confidential information by manipulation of legitimate users" (Allen, 2006)
The next case study reviews the impact social engineering may have on the personal effects and belongings of an individual and places a size on the magnitude of social engineering from a perspective of an individual. In 2012, the technology journalist, Mat Honan, senior writer for Wired, witnessed his digital identity stripped and deleted by hackers who, using social engineering manage to takeover his iCloud account (Honan, 2012)
: Wire and Electronic Communications Interception and Interception of Oral Communications," "18 USC 2701 et seq.: Stored Wire and Electronic Communications and Transactional Records Access," "The Digital Millennium Copyright Act," "The Cyber Security Enhancement Act of 2002," "Securely Protect Yourself against Cyber Trespass Act" (Harper et
More precisely, "since security depends on people, not just on technology, social engineering is one possible tool for use in penetration tests. Deception is a common means of breaching a security system, and a social engineering test can ascertain the strength of policies and how well employees follow those policies" (Kabay, 2007)
In this sense, "Social engineering attacks can essentially be executed by accident or with the best of intentions by an innocent "attacker" whose motivations are generally benevolent. Understanding the breadth of possibilities for social engineering attacks to compromise a system, and the fact that the attacker may often not even consider its actions an attack, can help you arm yourself against social engineering" (Perrin, 2010) This is an important aspect to be taken into account particularly because it is rather difficult to ascertain precisely the rational behind one attack or another at the level of a working environment for example
By nature, people tend to be helpful and polite. Social engineering techniques take advantage of this intrinsic nature to manipulate people into divulging sensitive information" (Schneier, 2009)
Many organizations may test a specific part of a security plan or procedure; however the security plans and procedures must be tested as a whole." (Winkler, 1996) Another means in which the informational system can be strengthened against social engineering and hacking in general is thru the use of penetration tests as means of checking the human segment of the security system
Finally, an evaluation of the project's forecasting effectiveness is followed by a summary of the research and important findings about the Golden Gate Bridge project in the conclusion. Project Management Challenges and Successes at the Golden Gate Bridge Project In June 1846, the explorer and veteran of the Mexican-American War, John Charles Fremont, described the opening to "the great bay" in San Francisco and, drawing on his recollection of Turkey's narrow Bosphorus Strait or "Golden Horn" named the opening of the bay, Golden Gate (Fireman and Kale 9)
According to Ruiz, "On November 4, 1930, voters within the recently designated Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District went to the polls and put up their homes, farms and business properties as collateral to support a $35 million bond issue to finance the bridge" (2). The construction surety bond for the bridge was underwritten by Fireman's Fund for the enormous amount of money (Ruiz 2)
The location is plagued by gale-force winds and dense fogs" (Golden Gate 3). In addition, the Golden Gate Bridge project represented an unprecedented attempt to construct a suspension bridge support using a tower situation in open ocean (Standen 3)
However, this is an outdated mentality as it is now common practice in education to use support networks to reach success. (Baker, 2000)
The generation coming out of college now has a more feminine work-life balance mentality. (Fuller, 2006)
Knowledge-Oriented Software Engineering Process In a Multi-Cultural Context In the peer-reviewed article Knowledge-Oriented Software Engineering Process In A Multi-Cultural Context (Jaakkola, Heimburger, Linna, 2010) the authors contend that the accelerating nature of software development leaves little time for cultural assimilation and integration of teams to an optimal level
