How many times have you heard stories about smart people making stupid decisions with their money?

Although maybe not one of the most "glamorous" of trades, mechanical engineering is definitely one of the most important, and also frequently used, though you may not realize just how frequent and common. Take the chair you're currently sitting on reading this article - you can bet there's at least some kind of mechanical engineering process in its design to make it as comfortable as possible.

Sport science is a collection of scientific disciplines that work together to improve the performance of a given athlete.

Out of engine efficiency come both power and economy, so if an engine is more powerful for its capacity this allows it to run at a lower RPM to move the vehicle. Because we create more torque from the engine, you can move into a higher gear at an earlier point during acceleration and then maintain that higher gear for a longer time.

Dry EDM is a 'green' EDM technique in which instead of mineral oil based liquid dielectric, gas at high pressure is used as the dielectric medium. Some added advantages are lower tool wear, lower residual thermal stresses and higher precision. However, the major roadblocks in its commercialization have been the low material removal rate (MRR) and poor process stability.
