This paper examines the relationship between conceptual and embodied reasoning in engineering work. In the last decade across multiple research projects on pipeline engineering, we have observed only a few times when engineers have expressed embodied or sensory aspects of their practice, as if the activity itself is…

Protein engineering has nearly limitless applications across chemistry, energy, and medicine, but creating new proteins with improved or novel functions remains slow, labor-intensive, and inefficient. In this work, we present the Self-driving Autonomous Machines for Protein Landscape Exploration (SAMPLE) platform for…

Protein engineering seeks to design proteins with improved or novel functions. Compared to rational design and directed evolution approaches, machine learning-guided approaches traverse the fitness landscape more effectively and hold the promise for accelerating engineering and reducing the experimental cost and…

Failure is a central notion both in ethics of engineering and in engineering practice. Engineers devote considerable resources to assure their products will not fail and considerable progress has been made in the development of tools and methods for understanding and avoiding failure. Engineering ethics, on the other…

The implementation of Digital Twins (DTs) represents a significant advancement for the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry. A DT virtually replicates a physical asset, enabling the monitoring, diagnosis, prediction, and optimization of its outcomes. Since failures are undesirable outcomes, investigations into potential failure…

'Caio Bezerra Souto Maior'] The construction industry is recognized as one of the most hazardous industries globally due to the dynamic on site activities and labour-intensive characteristics. The construction tasks are physically and cognitively demanding therefore the construction workers are prone to work fatigue…

Fireworks industries are very old, unorganized cottage industries in West Bengal mainly confined in South 24 Parganas. The present investigation was intended to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among the workers and to identify the causative factors behind it. In this present study…
