TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe project site conditions at a remote location on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, and define the challenges faced when adding a large new load to an existing small power system.
Abstract: This paper describes project site conditions at a remote location on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, and defines the challenges faced when adding a large new load to an existing small power system. The Port Alice Papers describe a major installation in an existing pulp mill in Port Alice, British Columbia. Consideration of maintenance, operations and safety appropriate for this plant were vital to the success of the project. The information given in these papers will be useful to engineers working on projects in existing facilities where conditions are not ideal.

TL;DR: The fountain concept development, prototyping, design, and fountain building process allows students to experience the iterative nature of design while they developed an intuitive basis for learning and remembering fluids fundamentals.
Abstract: Neophyte engineering students have difficulty conceptualizing fluid concepts, and have little understanding of the design process The fountain concept development, prototyping, design, and fountain building process allows students to experience the iterative nature of design while they developed an intuitive basis for learning and remembering fluids fundamentals The students were divided into teams and given a budget of $20/team The final report included concept development, fountain features, design approach, materials list, budget, engineering drawings, and design calculations The students gave the project a very positive review, resulting in the civil engineering (CE) and engineering technology (ET) introductory fluids classes using the project during the spring semester 2003

TL;DR: Though the analytical tools and computer aids were simple, they provided the essential information needed by managers and supervisors to manage the project effectively and were used on a weakly basis to product summary reports and graphical charts.
Abstract: The author discusses the planning, monitoring, and revising of project schedules with reference to a large and complex database development project. A Simple yet effective methodology for managing such projects successfully in an adaptive and flexible manner is presented. A simple computer program developed in house and a standard graphic software package were used on a weakly basis to product summary reports and graphical charts that provided crucial information about and yielded valuable insights into the performance of the project. The fast, low-cost computer program was used also to conduct 'what if' studies both for planning purposes and for comparison of alternatives whenever modification or corrective actions became necessary during the life cycle of the project. Though the analytical tools and computer aids were simple, they provided the essential information needed by managers and supervisors to manage the project effectively. >

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the difficulty of controlling complex engineering projects with the help of the traditional control tools such as earned value method and propose a more flexible project performance measurement system.
Abstract: This paper discusses the difficulty of controlling complex engineering projects with the help of the traditional control tools such as earned value method. The main problem with the controlling engineering projects is that the environment and scope of these projects are various from project to project and the project performance measurement system should adapt and flexibly reflect the variability of the engineering project scope and context. The article is based on the case study of the Russian engineering company that is needed a more flexible project performance measurement system. After the consideration of the limitations of the existing performance measurement methods and tools the authors elaborate the suggestion to improve the adaptability of the traditional earned value method which leads to better control of the engineering projects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide guidelines to assess the level of technical and commercial risks in an R&D project, and a framework to develop generic strategies to reduce risks is also presented.
Abstract: The author provides guidelines to assess the level of technical and commercial risks in an R&D project. Project risks can be reduced by either lessening them or mitigating their consequences. A number of strategies to reduce R&D project risks are presented, and a basis for strategies that reduce the consequences of project risks using the utility concepts is provided. A framework to develop generic strategies to reduce risks is also presented. According to the framework presented, no one strategy is ideal. A variety of strategies to reduce risk can be chosen depending on the level technical and commercial risks. >
