For many decades the textiles industry, the engineering industry and coal mining were the central activities of the town.

Notably, the design team was led by Dirk Meyer, who had worked as a lead engineer on multiple Alpha microprocessors during his employment at DEC. Jerry Sanders had approached many of the engineering staff to work for AMD as DEC wound down their semiconductor business, and brought in a near-complete team of engineering experts.

Biotechnology draws on the pure biological sciences ( genetics, microbiology, animal cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, cell biology ) and in many instances it is also dependent on knowledge and methods from outside the sphere of biology ( chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, information technology, biorobotics ).

Over time the standards developed to cover many aspects of tangible engineering, and then engineering methodologies including quality systems, safety and security.

Biomedical engineering has only recently emerged as its own discipline, compared to many other engineering fields.

Pharmaceutical Engineering is sometimes regarded as a branch of biomedical engineering, and sometimes a branch of chemical engineering ; in practice, it is very much a hybrid sub-discipline ( as many BME fields are ).

As interest in BME increases, many engineering colleges now have a Biomedical Engineering Department or Program, with offerings ranging from the undergraduate ( B. S., B. Eng or B. S. E.

As noted above, biomedical engineering has only recently been emerging as its own discipline rather than a cross-disciplinary hybrid specialization of other disciplines ; and BME programs at all levels are becoming more widespread, including the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering which actually includes so much biological science content that many students use it as a " pre-med " major in preparation for medical school.

While many engineering fields ( such as mechanical or electrical engineering ) do not need graduate-level training to obtain an entry-level job in their field, the majority of BME positions do prefer or even require them.

This is notably not the case in many other countries, where a license is as legally necessary to practice engineering as it is for law or medicine.

Calculus has widespread applications in science, economics, and engineering and can solve many problems for which algebra alone is insufficient.

Some classic examples of these types of tasks are multimedia applications ( images, video, and sound ), as well as many types of scientific and engineering tasks.

About 1, 000 post-graduate students attend programmes at the university and many students are taking Master of Science engineering programmes and the Master of Architecture programme.

Within chemical engineering, two broad subgroups include 1 ) design, manufacture, and operation of plants and machinery in industrial chemical and related processes (" chemical process engineers "); and 2 ) development of new or adapted substances for products ranging from foods and beverages to cosmetics to cleaners to pharmaceutical ingredients, among many other products (" chemical product engineers ").

Information from this book has been reprinted in many subsequent engineering texts.

On many occasions the Chinese studied nomadic cavalry tactics and applied the lessons in creating their own potent cavalry forces, while in others they simply recruited the tribal horsemen wholesale into their armies ; and in yet other cases nomadic empires proved eager to enlist Chinese infantry and engineering, as in the case of the Mongol Empire and its sinicized part, the Yuan Dynasty ( 1279 – 1368 ).

Although such controllers need not be electrical many are and hence control engineering is often viewed as a subfield of electrical engineering.

Control engineering has a wide range of applications from the flight and propulsion systems of commercial airliners to the cruise control present in many modern automobiles.

This, plus the habit of many schools of simply adding interior design to the many subjects of their home economics department, yet, nevertheless, claiming that they teach interior design, has contributed to the low repute of many university courses in interior design.

The remedies have been many and varied -- attempts to teach management techniques -- either in plant, at special schools, or in university `` crash '' courses -- provision of management-trained assistants or associates.

Teachers and administrators in many elementary schools have assumed that dividing the pupils in any grade into groups on the basis of test scores solves the problem of meeting the needs of individuals.

Studies conducted in various sections of the United States indicate that many children in elementary schools are maladjusted emotionally, and that many of them are failing to make satisfactory progress in school subjects.

In fact, in the desegregated school system which may have a good many schools with all-Negro population, how can we assure equal opportunity??

In many cities in the United States clinics associated with dental schools will take patients at a nominal fee.

Only a dozen or so schools send as many as six students, and there are seldom more than fifteen men in any single delegation.

Hardly a window has been broken since Dunbar first was opened ( and vandalism in schools is a major problem in many slum areas ).

During the 1950s there were as many as 25,000 schools in the Congo.

Some schools were technical -- the Belgians needed carpenters and mechanics to help exploit the land, and trained many.

After the publication of Science and Sanity he traveled about teaching briefly in many schools and universities.

Ideas and tenets of Zoroastrian schools of Early Persian philosophy are part of many works written in Middle Persian and of the extant scriptures of the zoroastrian religion in Avestan language.

Carnegie gave most of his money to establish many libraries, schools, and universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, as well as a pension fund for former employees.

There are great restoration projects underway around New Zealand and many organisations including community groups, landowners, conservation organisations, iwi, volunteers, schools, local businesses, nurseries and councils are involved in them.

Acting classes and professional schools targeted at the under-18 crowd are offered in many locations.

Most Aster CT-80's ( about 10 thousand of them ) were sold to schools for computer education, in a project first known as the " honderd scholen project " ( one hundred schools project ), but which later involved many more than just one hundred schools.

About a thousand of such systems were sold for many hundreds of Dutch schools.

The eastern parts of Berlin have many Plattenbauten, reminders of Eastern Bloc ambitions to create complete residential areas that had fixed ratios of shops, kindergartens and schools to the number of inhabitants.

Rationalism and empiricism have had many definitions, most concerned with specific schools of philosophy or groups of philosophers in particular countries, such as Germany.

According to this theory, the cycle of philosophical upheavals that in part drove the diversification of Buddhism into its many schools and sects only began once Buddhists began attempting to make explicit the implicit philosophy of the Buddha and the early suttas.

Historically almost all early computers were accumulator machines ; and many microcontrollers still popular as of 2010 ( such as the 68HC12, the PICmicro, the 8051 and several others ) are basically accumulator machines.

The 8051 architecture provides many functions ( CPU, RAM, ROM, I / O, interrupt logic, timer, etc.

This section describes what is generally referred to as the " classic RISC pipeline ", which in fact is quite common among the simple CPUs used in many electronic devices ( often called microcontroller ).

Addressable fire alarm panels were introduced by many manufacturers during the microcontroller boom in the mid 1980s.
