Document engineering. Document engineering is a computer science discipline. It focuses on the tools, processes and systems that improve the ability to create, manage, and maintain documents digitally.

In the context of document engineering, document may refer to any kind of document, but most often refers to documents somehow encoded in digital forms, and to ordered pieces of information extracted or derived from documents, typically to be used by computer applications or web services rather than directly by people. The structure of information both within and as extracted from documents, has particular relevance in the areas of XML and SQL schema design. 

From 2003 to 2007, the University of California, Berkeley operated a research center for document engineering, which has been subsumed by its program in Information and Service Design.

The conventional discipline that most resembles document engineering is probably business informatics. However, document engineering emphasizes the need for conceptual modeling of documents and processes at an implementable granularity, and so involves linguistics, ontology, database theory, and a wide range of other disciplines.

The ACM Symposium on Document Engineering is a yearly conference of computer scientists interested in document engineering and related domains of text or document processing, and has been held since 2001.

Integration Consortium. The Integration Consortium (IC) is a global non-profit organisation and community that shares knowledge and best practices related to enterprise application integration.  The mission of the IC is support Information Technology professionals responsible for transforming business through both traditional systems integration and emerging SOA with improved business results.

Members of the IC use Collaborative Networked Learning methods to advance integration disciplines including:
 a dynamic website which supports blogs, wikis and forums
 a document repository for white-papers and industry research
 regular meetings of local chapters to share knowledge in unstructured forums
 regional conferences or global summits featuring multi-day structured programs
 collaborating with standards organizations to provide a real-world practitioner perspective
 collaborating with educational institutions to promote research and formal peer-reviewed methods

Members of the IC include end user corporations, independent software suppliers, hardware suppliers, system integrators, academic institutions, non-profit institutions, and individual members.

History of IC 
The Integration Consortium was first established as the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Consortium and was incorporated in 2001 as a non-profit organization in Alberta, Canada.  The organization was renamed as the Integration Consortium in 2005 and subsequently moved its operations to the U.S. and incorporated as a non-profit in Delaware in 2006.
Beginning in 2004, the IC has held an annual call for papers (CFP) in order to uncover emerging integration practices and to identify integration thought leaders and practice leaders.  Submitted papers that pass a peer review process are published in an annual Integration Journal.  The 2004 through 2007 publications include over 100 white-papers and case studies.  Papers may be submitted by members or non-members.   The Integration Journal is the first open peer-reviewed publication on the topic of integration outside of strictly academic institutions.

The concept of integration as a competency in the IT domain began in the mid-1990s with advent of middleware technology.   It has now matured for over 10 years and appears to be picking up momentum and broad-based acceptance as evidenced by the programs of educational institutions.  Universities are beginning to include integration topics in their MBA programs and Computer Science curricula.  For example, The College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State University has established an Enterprise Informatics and Integration Center with the following mission:
The Enterprise Informatics and Integration Center (EI²) will actively engage industry, non-profit, and government agency leaders to address critical issues in enterprise processes, knowledge management, and decision making.

Curtiss Kingbird. 

The Curtiss Model 55 Kingbird was an airliner built in small numbers in the United States in the early 1930s. It was a twin-engine aircraft with a fuselage derived from the single-engine Curtiss Thrush. The Kingbird had two engine nacelles mounted on the struts on either side of the fuselage that braced the wing and the outrigger undercarriage. A distinctive design feature was the aircraft's blunt nose, located behind the propeller arcs. This allowed the engines to be mounted closer to each other and to the aircraft's centerline, therefore minimising asymmetrical thrust in case of an engine failure. For the same reason, the Thrush's single tailfin was replaced by twin tails on the Kingbird, and the main production model, the D-2 fitted a second horizontal stabilizer and elevator between these fins.

Eastern Air Transport was to be the Kingbird's main operator, flying 14 of them for a few years. The United States Marine Corps also purchased an example, first designating it JC-1, then RC-1 and using it as an air ambulance.

Dassault Communauté. The Dassault MD.415 Communauté was a 1950s French twin-engined light turboprop transport monoplane  built by Dassault Aviation. Only one prototype was built and flown.

Development
The Dassault company designed a light transport aircraft in the late 1950s, designated MD.415 and later named Communauté, as a potential replacement for the Dassault MD 315 Flamant in its trainer, command transport or ambulance aircraft roles. The Communauté was a cantilever low-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle landing gear with room for two crew and up to ten passengers. Powered by two wing-mounted Turbomeca Bastan turboprops, the prototype (F-WJDN) first flew on 10 May 1959.

The company also developed a military version designated the MD.410 Spirale. Retaining 90% commonality with the Communauté, the Spirale had  all the windows removed and transparent nose panels added. It also had provision for cannon or machine-gun armament and was fitted with under-wing hardpoints for weapons. It was intended that the Spirale could be used for close-support, reconnaissance or transport roles.

Neither the Communauté nor the Spirale received any production orders and a high-wing development designated Spirale III was also abandoned.

Curtiss-Reid Rambler. The Reid Rambler, later known under the Curtiss-Reid brand after Reid was purchased by Curtiss, was a biplane trainer/sport aircraft built in Canada in the early 1930s and used in small numbers as a trainer aircraft by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Design and development
In 1928, Wilfrid Thomas Reid set up his own company in Montreal after working as an engineer for Canadian Vickers. His first design was a light aircraft that was intended to exploit a Canadian government programme to support the development of flying clubs. The Reid Rambler was primarily intended to be a training aircraft. The Rambler was a largely conventional sesquiplane design with wings braced with Warren trusses and which could be folded backwards for transport or storage. The fuselage was of fabric-covered steel tube construction and the pilot and a single passenger sat in tandem, open cockpits.

The prototype (registration G-CAVO) was first flown at the Cartierville Airport on 23 September 1928 by Martin Berlyn. The test flight was nearly a disaster because the ailerons seized, leaving Berlyn with a dangerous approach and landing. A modification of the aileron control linkage rectified the problem. The Rambler continued to be developed, and in 1931, an improved version, the Rambler III, was flown with the more powerful Gipsy III engine. John C. Webster flew the MK III prototype in the British King's Cup Race that year.

Operational history
In December 1928, the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Company purchased the Reid Aircraft Company and renamed it The Curtiss-Reid Aircraft Company. The new firm assumed control of the existing Rambler project and established a production line. A number of alterations were made to the production series including replacing the original ailerons with Frise-style ailerons, introducing an unbalanced rudder along with changes to the engine cowling, exhaust system and tailskid, and adding a head rest.

Although it was intended principally for civilian use, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) evaluated the aircraft as a basic training aircraft. Although the RCAF employed many other ab-initio aircraft including the ubiquitous de Havilland Moth, senior military staff elected to purchase a small number of the Ramblers.

Curtiss-Reid Ramblers enjoyed a relatively productive and lengthy career both in civilian and military use lasting well into the Second World War era.

Edge banding. Edge banding or edgebanding is the name of both a process, and an associated narrow strip of material. It is used to create durable and aesthetically pleasing trim edges during finish carpentry. The method is used to cover the exposed sides of materials such as plywood, particle board, or MDF. This increases durability and creates the appearance of a more solid or valuable material.

Process 
The edge banding or edgebanding method is used to create durable and aesthetically pleasing trim edges during finish carpentry. Traditional edge banding was a manual process requiring ordinary carpentry tools and materials.

In modern applications, particularly for high-volume, repetitive manufacturing steps, the production of as cabinet doors for example, edge banding is applied to the substrate by an automated process using a hot-melt adhesive. Hot melt adhesives may consist of various raw materials including ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyurethanes (TPU), polyacrylate (PA), APOA, and polyolefins (PO). A substrate primer may also be used as a bonding agent between the adhesive and the substrate. Thicker edge bandings typically require a slight concavity to provide a tight glue line. The thickness can vary from  to  or even more.

The machine that applies the edge banding is called edge bander. An edge bander bonds the edge banding to the substrate, trims the leading and trailing edges, trims top and bottom flush with the substrate, scraps any surplus, and buffs the finished edge.

Material 
Edge-banding or edge tape can refer to the narrow strip of material being used as the veneer. Edge banding is used to cover the exposed sides of materials such as plywood, particle board, or MDF. This increases durability and gives the appearance of a solid or more valuable material. Common substitutes for edge banding include face frames or molding. Edge banding can be made of different materials including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), acrylic, melamine, wood, or wood veneer.

Thermoplastic edge banding is produced with an extruder, a machine that consists of a loading system for raw materials, a screw inside a barrel that melts and transports the raw materials (plastics PVC, ABS, polypropylene (PP), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and color pigments), and a dye through which the material is transported to shape the edge banding into the required size. After the edge banding is extruded, it can be texturized, printed, and lacquered to provide the required finish. The edge banding is then rolled and send to customers.

Operating context. An operating context (OC) for an application is the external environment that influences its operation. For a mobile application, the OC is defined by the hardware and software environment in the device, the target user, and other constraints imposed by various other stakeholders, such as a carrier.

This concept differs from the operating system (OS) by the impact of these various other stakeholders.

Example
Here is an example of one device, with one operating system, changing its operating context without changing the OS.

A user with a mobile phone changes SIM cards, removing card A, and inserting card B. The phone will now make any network calls over cell phone carrier B's network, rather than A's.

Any applications running on the phone will run in a new operating context, and will often have to change functionality to adapt to the abilities, and business logic, of the new carrier. The network, spectrum, and wireless protocol all change in this example. These changes must be reflected back to the user, so the user knows what experience to expect, and thus these changes all change the user interface (UI) also.

Hardware agnostic context 

Situations exist where one can program in a context, with less concern about what hardware it will actually run on. Examples include Flash and Android.

Unfortunately, it also quite common that code in a hardware free context will see hardware specific bugs. This is common with software written for, that interacts more directly with, personal computer (PC) hardware, or mobile phones.

Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (the business name of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of the Province of British Columbia) regulates and governs professional engineers,  professional geoscientists, and firms that offer engineering and geoscience services in the Province of British Columbia, Canada under the authority of the Professional Governance Act.

With over 40,000 registrants, Engineers and Geoscientists BC is one of the largest regulatory bodies in British Columbia. Individuals and firms licensed by Engineers and Geoscientists BC are the only persons or entities permitted by law to undertake and assume responsibility for engineering and geoscience projects in the province of BC. Engineers and Geoscientists BC is a constituent member of Engineers Canada and Geoscientists Canada.

History

Following the second collapse of the Quebec Bridge, in 1919 provinces throughout Canada began regulating engineers through legislation. The Engineering Profession Act of 1920 created the Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of British Columbia to regulate and license professional engineers. In 1990, geoscience became a regulated profession in British Columbia, and the association was expanded to become The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of the Province of British Columbia.

On August 22, 2017, APEGBC rebranded as Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia with a new logo to accompany the rebranding.

The organization is charged with protecting the public interest by setting and maintaining high academic, experience and professional practice standards for all registrants.

Organization
Engineers and Geoscientists BC is governed by a Board of elected registrants and government appointees. Engineers and Geoscientists BC's Board is accountable to the public through the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, under the Office of the Superintendent of Professional Governance, for both the governance and management of the organization.
