Your Name: Chinmayee
Name and relationship of person discussed with: Sachin Gore , Professor Describe the career path you plan to take and when and how you chose that path.
In the final year of my undergraduate degree, my career path is directed towards a fusion
of mechanical engineering and business, leveraging my academic background and professional experiences. The journey started during my time abroad, where I had the opportunity to intern in Sydney and Germany. These experiences provided me with a global perspective on mechanical engineering and exposed me to diverse work cultures.
The decision to blend mechanical engineering with a business certificate was influenced by the realization that a holistic understanding of business principles would complement my technical skills, making me a more versatile professional. This decision was not made hastily; it emerged gradually as I navigated through various internships, gaining practical insights into the industry
Describe the feedback you received from the person you discussed your plan.
In discussing my career plan with my professor, I received valuable insights into different pathways that my dual expertise could open up. The professor highlighted potential trajectories, including roles in project management, product development, and even entrepreneurship. The discussion delved into the importance of combining technical prowess with business acumen, emphasizing how this hybrid skill set could position me as
a valuable asset in various industries.
One area that sparked particular interest during our conversation was consultancy. The professor shared comprehensive insights into the world of consulting, outlining both its merits and challenges. The discussion covered the dynamic nature of consulting projects, exposure to diverse industries, and the potential for rapid skill development. Simultaneously, the professor candidly discussed the demanding nature of consultancy, with its tight deadlines and the need for adaptive problem-solving.
Did the discussion impact your consideration in any way? If yes, how so?
The discussion significantly impacted my consideration, particularly regarding the path of consultancy. The professor's insights provided a nuanced understanding of the field, helping me weigh its pros and cons more effectively. While the allure of diverse projects and rapid skill enhancement remained appealing, the acknowledgment of the demanding nature of consultancy made me approach this path with a more realistic perspective.
The discussion encouraged me to explore consultancy further, seeking additional resources and perspectives. It prompted me to engage with professionals in the field, attend industry events, and gather more information to make an informed decision about whether consultancy aligns with my long-term career goals.
In summary, the conversation with my professor served as a pivotal moment in shaping my career trajectory, guiding me towards a more informed and thoughtful approach to my future endeavors.

When the absolute value of sun-wall azimuth angle exceeds 90' this means that the sun
rays are reaching the receiving plane.
The solar irradiance and the solar irradiation have the same physical meaning.
In the case of clear sky weather, the beam solar irradiation on a horizontal surface is less
than the diffused irradiation.
The total solar radiation received by a tilted surface is the same as that…

Learning Goal:
To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of
mass, and the centroid of a composite body.
Part A
A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object
of uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of
mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is
found by, first, cutting the bodyng the weighted average
Find the area of the body. (Figure 1)
Express your answer numerically in feet squared to three significant figures.
into regular shaped
segments, and then by calculating i
of the segments' centroids.An object is made from a
uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions
of a = 1.55 ft , where a is the diameter of the semi-
circle,b = 3.74 ft, and c = 2.35 ft . A hole with diameter
d = 0.750 ft is centered at (1.26, 0.775).

Case Study: Paula’s Pain
Paula has worked for Brindle Corporation for 3 years. During this time, she has worked as a machine operator/cell leader in various work cells. Recently, the plant went to mandatory 12-hour shifts and plans to remain on this schedule for several months.
Paula’s present work cell is manufacturing 3-inch diameter exhaust tubes that are made from stainless steel. These tubes get a hole punched in them, a flange welded on, and burrs ground off. The pipe then gets placed into a gage to check that it was made correctly. (The tubes weigh about six pounds.)
Paula has been performing the welding operation. She leans into the machine and loads the part into a fixture then positions the flange. Both pieces are clamped (using hand clamps) into position and the machine is cycled by depressing two palm buttons.
The gaging operation requires placing the finished part into the gage and clamping it (using hand clamps) into place. A pin is depressed to verify the position…
