22
 Problem Solving
Engineering is a way of thinking:
1. Define – What are we aiming to solve?
2. Data – What data do we have available?
3. Theory – What theory can we apply?

4. Estimate – Roughly estimate the solution

Use logic and physical boundary conditions
5. Solve – Solve the problem

6. Verify – Compare the solution to estimates.

Is it realistic and valid?

 AGES OF MATERIALS

Human civilizations are often divided into ages

according to the materials that dominate in the
society of the day

25
 Development of civilizations
in Shakespearian drama fashion
Act 1 - The Stone Age
Act 2 - The Bronze Age
Act 3 - The Iron Age
Act 3 Scene 1
Enter James Watt 1736 –1819

Wee Jamie, a cunning young Scott

Observed, when the kettle was hot
That the steam raised the lid
And it’s thanks to this kid
That you and I know Watt’s watt

James Watt invented the steam engine and an industrial

revolution followed
26
Act 3 Scene 2
Enter Henry Bessemer (1813-1898)

The New York Times

19 January 1913

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the

birth of Sir Henry Bessemer, who invented
cheap steel, which added more wealth to the
world than any invention since the steam
engine

Following the invention of the Bessemer

Process for making steel the price of steel
dropped from ₤ 200 to ₤ 7 per tonne and a
whole new world of engineering ensued

27
Act 4 The Silicon Age
Enter William Shockley – inventor of the
transistor

Act 5 The Micro-electronic Age

Act 5 Scene 1
Enter Bill Gates
Act 5 Scene 2
Enter Steve Jobs

Act 6 The New Materials Age

 Graphene
 Hydrogels
 Electro-conducting polymers
 Silicones
 Super conductors
 Thermo-electric materials

28
 Bridge Construction
An example of the change in materials use over the ages

Stone bridge Steel bridge

Iron bridge Steel-concrete composite bridge 29

 The text book shows pictures of bridges in Cambridge
Here are some recent pictures of these same bridges
