How a car is created?

Designing of a car begins with an idea but goes through many steps before it becomes a real car.

Following are the various steps involved in the process:

• Establishment of vehicle specification
• The multi-disciplinary team establishes parameters and decision points, ensuring the project runs to schedule
• Discussion of first concept sketches
• Designs are presented on theme boards and mood boards
• Informal selection of concept sketches
• The design team pick out their favorite sketches
• Management review of concept sketches
• CAD models are produced for marketing research purposes
• 2D market research
• Concepts are shown to members of the public for their comments
• Presentation of reworked concepts
• Reworked concepts are presented again, taking into account market research feedback
• Approval for detailed engineering
• Full-size clay models are produced. These are often made using CAD data and hand-finished
• 3D market research
• Full-size exterior and interior concept models are shown to members of the public. One concept is selected, informed by public opinion
• Final approval of 3D model
• The management team gives final approval to one model which is then fully resolved as a 3D clay model
• Final feasibility development of chosen concept
• The full-size clay model is scanned and a new 3D digital model produced. Other engineering disciplines are then responsible for the feasibility of the final design in terms of operation and manufacture
• Final approval of the design

AutoCAD Electrical

AutoCAD Electrical design software is AutoCAD for electrical controls designers. It includes all the functionality of AutoCAD software plus a complete set of electrical CAD features, including comprehensive symbol libraries and tools for automating electrical design tasks.

AutoCAD Electrical includes all functionality in AutoCAD software, plus electrical engineering features such as symbol libraries, bill of materials (BOM) reporting, and PLC I/O design that make controls design fast and efficient.

AutoCAD Electrical automates common tasks and facilitates drafting productivity. Engineers can dynamically generate rules-based electrical control circuits; extract a list of electrical schematic components for panel layout drawings; run multiple reports with the simple, customizable report generation tool; generate and update customizable reports; collaborate with customers and suppliers by sharing AutoCAD drawings with them.

What makes AutoCAD Electrical more powerful in terms of increasing design productivity are the options to create folders to organize drawings; flexible drag-and-drop file organization; smart electrical panel layout drawings, and rich content library of electrical symbols, among other intuitive software interfaces.

The feature of automatic wire numbering/component tagging helps engineers reduce errors. They can use marking menus to shorten editing time. The best part is the circuit designs generated using AutoCAD Electrical are made available for reuse.

What Are The 7 Tech Trends That Will Dominate In 2017?

The power of technology in 2016 was astounding. Right from the power to retrieve any information to communicate with others through the shortest device that fits in our pockets. We have already seen many advances in the field of Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Automobile, etc. Since, the technological innovations have taken over the consumer market by a storm, remain eager for what 2017 has in its store for you:

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality

No wonder, AR, and VR were witnessed as big hits in 2016. We have an example as Pokemon Go, a smartphone based Augmented reality game that has witnessed  100 million downloads. Since then the market is paving its way towards AR and VR-based applications and devices. 2017 is expected to show great jumps in the field of AR/VR in the global markets.

Machine Learning 

Machine learning will enter almost every consumer application and suggest products based on prior purchase to improve the user experience. Therefore, in 2017, machines will learn, adapt, and act in an autonomous mode instead of executing on some pre-defined instructions.

Autonomous Cars

The merger of various IOT devices has made it possible for the car makers such as BMW, Tesla, and others to make driver-less cars. 2017 shall also look towards the advancement such as car-to-car communication, cars talking to each other, traffic information and accident related information.

Smart Home Tech 

We are not living in smart homes yet but have been hearing about Internet of Things in the home space for many years. However, with the big technological players such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook who will be entering the domain shall help in witnessing commercialization of smart homes.

Services On Demand 

Premises of phone apps that the startups have built such as cab services- “Uber”, food delivery services- “Food Panda”, and ability to book places of stay- “Make My Trip” is nothing but the way technology is blessing us. It is expected to see some more advancement in the stream of apps that are going to benefit in an extraordinary way.

The online brand we see today might add attractive features such as store maps, dash buttons, and product trails in 2017.

Skill development is career development

Skill is a learned ability of a person to carry out a job and produce a desired result using a reasonable time and energy. Every job demands a skill. There are domain general skills and domain specific skills. The first one are skills that are common for all jobs.

Domain General Skills

The US Department of Labor has listed about 16 such basic skills. They are: ability to learn, reading competence, writing competence, computation competence, listening, oral communication, creative thinking, problem solving, ability to maintain self esteem, goal setting, planning for career development, interpersonal skills, negotiation skills, team working capability, influence, leadership.

It is important for us to know that some of the skills are imbibed at a very young age or may come inborn, many skills are learned and acquired with practice. This is especially true for domain specific skills.

Domain Specific Skills

The National Skill Development Council (NSDC) has standardized about 850 job roles, defining the skills required to perform those jobs. If you take the retail sector, about 80% of jobs are created in the following four jobs: operations assistant, cashier, sales associate, and trainee associate.

According to the National Occupational Standards (NOS) of the NSDC, each of these retail job has to be performed with certain skills. With the job description of Cashier is to “service and process all customer transactions through various tenders as per accounting principles”, the person is expected to be strong in few domain skills such as basic accounting.

Self Learning

Though there are standards for job roles. Practically not all work culture and places are common. There could be a variety of challenges that employees may face. Depending on the need to respond to the job needs, employees should take the responsibility of mapping his or her occupation and do a functional analysis – that is activities that have to be performed and the expected outcomes.

It is always a good practice to create a checklist to measure your own performance and constantly develop new skills and enhance existing skills. This will lead to career progression.

Intangible Soft Skills: An Engineers Key to Stand Out and Succeed

Today’s era is the era of engineers. The field of engineering is very vast and provides a lot of opportunities.
Apart from technical skills, the companies look forward to additional skills in every candidate. Soft skills are one among those important additional skills.

Is Soft Skill Really Important?

There is no doubt that soft skills really matter to an engineer. There have been several cases where extremely talented engineers have failed in teamwork, client communication or maintaining professionalism. Studies found that people with soft skills outperform those who only rely on technical skill. Therefore, employers value engineers who master both technical and dynamic skills.

Mastering Soft Skill

The basic thing to understand is the way work is done in any engineering environment. The way work is done today has also become a critical factor. The engineering field includes highly mobile teams and handling multigenerational workforce and projects. On a daily basis, engineers encounter fresh graduates as well as highly experienced professionals. Employees need to bridge the gap between such differences and efficiently communicate with all the individuals encountered during their work. On a global basis, projects require a high level of collaboration. An engineer might have to work with other members working miles away. Several differences might stand as an obstacle in any global project such as

• Language
• Culture
• Time zone
• Working hours and many others.

An employee without the right soft skill will find it hard to adapt to such project which might affect both the individual and the employers.

In the world of project-centric work, only the employees with intangible skills can dodge various pitfalls throughout the lifetime of the project. The employers look for candidates who can

• Successfully complete a job which will highly depend on the tangible skills of an individual
• Skilfully manage any project is a skill that every employer looks in a candidate
• Handle complex projects rather than just be a part of it are more preferred

Whether you are looking for an engineering role or trying to move up your career, marketing your soft skills as an asset will pitch your capability and help you to achieve your goals. It is a differentiator that will put you in the spotlight.
