The codes of ethics of a number of engineering professional societies1 begin with
language that states that engineers are required in their professional work to hold
paramount the safety of the public. It is not difficult to appreciate why those in
engineering should feel obligated to endorse such a statement nor is it hard to
understand why it is generally placed first in the codes. For whenever we drive a car,

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

2. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10

Ethics:
Principles,
Morale,
Believes,
Standards,
…etc
Personal ethics is a foundation of
professional ethics.
There is a difference between
professional ethics and personal
ethics.
Obvious difference; professional
ethics has to do with the ethical
standards accepted by a
professional community.
3. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10 3
Ethics:
Engineering Ethics: is about
how we have to act and live as an
engineer,
what we have to consider when
making decisions,
according to what standards are
these actions right or wrong.
Shortly Engineering ethics is how
engineers morally act as an
Engineer. This is professional
ethics NOT personal ethics.
Principles,
Morale,
Believes,
Standards,
…etc
4. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10

According to what standards are these actions
right or wrong?
Case 1:
Mary discovers that her plant (factory) is discharging a substance
into the river that is not regulated by the government. She
decides to do some reading about the substance and finds that
some of the studies suggest that it is carcinogen. As an engineer,
she believes she has an obligation to protect the public, but she
also wants to be a loyal employee. The substance will probably
be very expensive to remove, and her boss advises, “Forget
about it until the government makes us do something. Then all
the other plants will have to spend money too, and we will not be
at a competitive disadvantage.” What should Mary do?
5. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10

According to what standards are these actions
right or wrong?
Case 2:
Tom is designing a new chemical plant. One of his
responsibilities is to identify the valves to be used in a
certain portion of the plant. Before he makes his final
decision, a salesperson for one of the firms that
manufactures valves invites Tom to a golf game at the
local country club. Should Tom accept the offer?
6. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10

According to what standards are these actions
right or wrong?
Consider the cases as
a professional
engineer.
What you have to consider
when making decisions in
those cases.
According to what
standards are these actions
right or wrong in those
cases.
7. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10

Things to consider and standards:
What are your OBLIGATIONS
/ RESPONSIBILITIES as a
professional engineer?
8. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10

Things to consider and standards:
NSPE Codes (National Society of Professional Engineers)
As a professional engineer it is your obligation / responsibility to
obey NSPE codes.
Therefore;
Engineering Ethics (NSPE codes): shows you how
you have to act and live as an engineer. What you
have to consider when making decisions. According
to NSPE codes these actions are right or wrong.

What is a Profession?
Paid occupation, especially one that requires advanced
education, characteristics and training.
11. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10
11
Professionals vs. Non-professionals
1. Education: Typically requires extensive period of training, and this
training is of an intellectual character. This training based on theory.
This theoretical base is obtained through formal education
(universities). Today, most professionals have at least bachelor’s
degree.
2. Have knowledge and skills that are vital to the well being of the larger
society. (Ex. doctor, lawyer, accountant).
3. Professions have monopoly on the demand of professional services.
This control achieved in two ways. First, only those who have
graduated from a professional school should be allowed to hold the
professional title. Secondly, influence the community that there should
be a licensing system for those who want to enter the profession.
4. Often have an unusual degree of autonomy in the workplace. Ex.
doctors must determine the most appropriate type of medical treatment
for their patients, and lawyers must decide the most successful type of
defense for their clients.
5. Claim to be regulated by ethical standards, usually embodied in a code
of ethics. Most professions regulate themselves for the public benefit.
12. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10
12
Differences:
Professional Ethics
is the set of standards
adopted by
professionals in so far
as they see themselves
acting as professionals.
It can be different from
personal ethics and
common morality.
Personal Ethics
is the set of ones
own ethical
commitments.
Ethics =Morality
Common Morality
is the set of moral
ideals shared by
most members of a
culture or society.
13. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10
13
The following examples shows some of the possible relationships
between professional, personal, and common morality.
An engineer refuses to design military hardware
because she believes war is in-moral.
This refusal is based on personal morality.
A civil engineer refuses to design a project he
believes will be contrary to the principles of
sustainable (maintain) development.
This refusal is based on personal morality and
professional code of ethics.
14. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10
14
Aims of studying ethics
Moral Imagination: To minimize the chances of being taken by surprise,
engineers must exercise great imagination in considering possible
alternatives and their likely consequences.
Recognizing (Moral) Ethical Issues:
Analyzing Concepts:
Eliciting (Bring out) a Sense of Responsibility:
Addressing un-clarity, un-certainty, and disagreement.

Case: The Forklifter (PAGE 24 or page320 in 3rd edn)
Engineering student Bryan Springer has a high
paying summer job as a forklift operator. This job
enables him to attend university without having to
take out any student loans. He was now staring at
a 50-gallon drum filled with used machine coolant,
wondering what he should do.
Just moments ago, Bryan's supervisor, Max
Morrison, told him to dump half of the used coolant
down the drain. Bryan knew the coolant was toxic,
and he mentioned this to Max. But Max was not
swayed.
16. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10
16
Case: The Forklifter (cont.)
Max: The toxins settle at the bottom of the drum. If you pour out half
and dilute it with tap water while you're pouring it, there's no
problem.
Byran: I don't think that's going to work. Besides, isn't it against the
law?
Max: Look, kid, I don't have time for chat about a bunch of laws. If I
spent my time worrying about every little regulation that comes
along, I'd never get anything done -- and neither will you. Common
sense is my rule. I just told you --Toxins settle at the bottom, and
most of them will stay there. We've been doing this for years, and
nothing's happened.
Byran: You mean no one's said anything about it? That doesn't
mean the environment isn't being harmed.
Max: You aren't one of those "environmentalists," are you? You
students spend too much of your time with "theory”. It's time to
"get real" -- and get on with the job.
17. Ethics in Engineering Spring'10
17
Case:The Forklifter (cont.)
Byran: But....
Max: But nothing. Time to get real-and get on with the job. You know,
you're very lucky to have a good paying job like this, kid. In three
months you'll be back in your university. Meanwhile, how many other
students do you think there are out there wondering if they'll be able
to afford to go back -- students who'd give everything to be where
you are right now.
Max then left, fully expecting Bryan to dump the used coolant. As
Bryan stared at the drum, he pondered his options.
What options do you think he has? What do you think he should do?
