Topic: Exploratory engineering

	Exploratory engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Due to the difficulty and necessity of anticipating results in such areas as genetic modification, climate change, molecular engineering, and megascale engineering, parallel fields such as bioethics, climate engineering and hypothetical molecular nanotechnology sometimes emerge to develop and examine hypotheses, define limits, and express potential solutions to the anticipated technological problems.
		Exploratory engineering often posits that a highly detailed solution exists, and explores the putative characteristics of such a solution, while holding in abeyance the question of how to implement that solution.
		A boundary which would take exploratory engineering out of the realm of mere speculation and define it as a realistic design activity is often indiscernible to such critics, and at the same time is often inexpressible by the proponents of exploratory engineering.

	Mechanical engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering include: dynamics, statics, strength of materials, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, control theory, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechatronics, kinematics, and applied thermodynamics.
		Mechanical engineers are also expected to understand and be able to apply concepts from the chemistry and electrical engineering fields.
		At the smallest scales, mechanical engineering becomes molecular engineering - one speculative goal of which is to create a molecular assembler to build molecules and materials via mechanosynthesis.

	Exploratory engineering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Exploratory engineering is the process of designing engineering proposals that are not feasible with current technologies or methods, but do seem to be clearlywithin the bounds of what science considers to be possible.
		Exploratory engineering relies on peer review, simulation and other methods generally applicable to scientific theory, but applies them to some artifact,a specific positive design or process, rather than to an abstract model or theory.
		Due to the difficulty and necessity of anticipating results in such areas as genetic modification, climate change and molecular engineering, parallel fields such as bioethics, climateengineering and nanotechnology sometimes emerge to find limits andexpress potential solutions to the anticipated technological problems.

	Background 3: Dialog, Exploratory Engineering, Bioarchive
		Exploratory engineering, more than most engineering, builds on science—yet this does not make it a branch of science, any more than bridge design is a branch of science.
		Exploratory engineering is about designing things that can be built, but only with tools that we don't yet have; this makes it a different sort of endeavor.
		Exploratory engineering, to the extent that it is practiced at all, seeks to construct not a physical artifact but a rough understanding of future technological capabilities.

	Domain knowledge, search behaviour, and search effectiveness of engineering and science students: an exploratory study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Compared to other groups, the results showed that engineers reported more frequently in idea rejecting situations, which are defined as the situations in which they were unable to understand conflicting and unexpected information.
		Most engineers believed that they spent most of their time investigating the causes of product failures, and exploring why testing results were unexpected, which seem to be related to the intention or purpose of the search.
		We are particularly interested in learning how engineering and science students, including both undergraduate and postgraduate students, do searches and what are the relationships between their level of domain knowledge, their behaviour when searching, and the effectiveness of their searches.

		Protein engineering can draw on a host of examples and prototypes from nature, and can exploit existing self-replicating machines (bacteria) to make products cheaply--a major consideration, where short-term payoffs are concerned.
		General macromolecular engineering avoids the major problem with protein engineering (proteins, not having been designed for designability, are hard to design), but at the cost of moving away from natural prototypes and requiring more expensive chemical synthesis techniques for making near-term products (thus reducing the potential market).
		Engineering departments often teach more specialized topics of relevance to nanotechnology, such as VLSI circuit design (relevant to nanocomputer design) and microfabrication (relevant to possible enabling technologies).

	Unbounding the Future: Chapter 1
		The basic idea of exploratory engineering is simple: combine engineering principles with known scientific facts to form a picture of future technological possibilities.
		Exploratory engineers study what will become practical as manufacturing abilities expand to embrace more of the possible.
		Exploratory engineering is as simple as textbook engineering, but neither military planners nor corporate executives see much profit in it, so it hasn't received much attention.

		The goal of this ESS effort is to stimulate the development of a community of academic researchers in engineering and allied branches of the mathematical and social sciences, and a corresponding body of research findings, that address the service sector across a scope commensurate with its critical and dominant position.
		A BRP should bring together necessary physical, engineering, or computational science expertise with biological or clinical resources to address a significant area of bioengineering research within the mission of the NIH.
		In addition to the benefits to be derived from the research, the collaborations and partnerships can create opportunities for trans-disciplinary communication and training for a new generation of scientists capable of interacting across traditional technical boundaries.

	NanoCon: Eric Drexler on Rod Logic for Molecular Computing
		An exploratory engineer attempts not to build sound artifacts, but to build sound arguments for a class of artifacts.
		At ordinary temperatures, it's not the quantum mechanical uncertainty that is responsible for the bulk of the engineering uncertainty, but instead the main source of uncertainty is thermal noise.
		If you were to take a hunk of this podium and whittle it down until you got to something of molecular size, you would find that you had something with size, shape, mass distribution, stiffness, etc. Molecules can be thought of as the smallest instances of ordinary physical objects.
