Engineers
have
a
prominent
role
in
the
knowledge
economy.
Technology
change
in
terms
of
technological
convergence
and
knowledge
management
is
a
major
engineering
challenge.
Innovation
of
new
products
and
processes
form
the
core
of
new
knowledge.
The
theme
chosen
for
Engineer’s
Day
2015
merriments
“Engineering
challenges
for
Knowledge
Era”
is
projected
to
address
these
facets
of
technology.
Tremendous
developments
are
taking
place
in
science,
technology
and
engineering
world
over
and
the
knowledge
has
become
the
innovative
trade
of
national
economics.
Engineers
have
a
pre--
eminent
role
in
the
knowledge
economy.
As
such
promoting
R
and
D,
nurturing
entrepreneurship
and
succeeding
in
framing
world--
class
merchandises,
form
major
accomplishments
in
this
regard.
Further,
interdisciplinary
team
efforts
are
needed
to
succeed
in
planning
the
benefits
of
knowledge
economy.
Technology
provides
the
tools
to
help
the
engineers
and
the
organization
to
develop
and
apply
its
knowledge
capital.
Arthur
Andersen's
Michael
Stone
explains
it
this
way:
Technology
allows
people
to
collect,
find,
filter
and
distribute
information
far
more
rapidly
than
ever
before.
It
is
now
possible
to
move
large
volumes
of
information
quickly,
and
institutionalize
what
has
always
been
an
earlier
informal
and
haphazard
process. |

CHANGING
TECHNOLOGIES
CONTEXT |
Changing
technologies
and
path
breaking
technological
developments
will
have
to
be
subjugated
in
all
engineering
disciplines.
Technological
change,
as
given
in
the
Wikipedia,
is
the
overall
process
of
invention,
innovation
and
diffusion
of
technology
or
processes.
The
technological
change
is
the
outcome
of
the
engineering
challenges
consisting
of
a
set
of
missions
viz.,
invention,
improvement
and
diffusion
of
technologies.
These
missions
could
further
be
explicated
on
the
lines
of
content
given
in
Wikipedia
as
follows |
|
 |
Invention
of
technologies
(including
processes)
and
their
commercialization
via
research
and
development
(producing
emerging
technologies), |
 |
Continual
improvement
of
technologies
(in
which
they
often
become
less
expensive), |
 |
Diffusion
of
technologies
throughout
industry
or
society. |
|
|
In
short,
technological
change
is
perceived
currently
as
an
inevitable
outcome
and
noticeable
rejoinder
for
engineering
challenges,
which
is
centered
around
convergence
of
both
superior
and
supplementary
technologies. |
|
TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE |
Technological
convergence
is
the
tendency
that
as
technology
changes,
different
technological
systems
sometimes
evolve
toward
performing
similar
tasks.
For
example
the
Digital
convergence
refers
to
the
convergence
of
four
diligences
into
one
business,
information
technologies,
telecommunication,
consumer
electronics
and
entertainment.
Previously
separate
technologies
such
as
voice
(telephone),
data,
and
video
can
now
share
resources
and
intermingle
with
each
other
synergistically.
This
is
a
unique
example
of
technological
convergence
in
other
words
an
output
requiring
the
engineering
challenges.
Specifically
this
involves
the
converging
of
previously
distinct
media
such
as
telephone
and
data
comunications
into
common
interfaces
on
single
devices,
such
as
most
smart
phones
which
can
make
phone
calls
and
search
the
web. |

MOORE'S LAW |
The
technological
convergence
is
one
way
or
other
manyntimes
an
unexpected
off-shoot
of
technology
forecast.
Here
it
is
worth
quoting
the
Moor's
law
for
better
appreciating
the
concept
of
technological
convergence
visa
vis
engineering
challenges.
Gordon
E.
Moore,
who
was
working
as
the
director
of
research
and
development
(R&D)
at
Fairchild
Semiconductor,
was
asked
to
predict
what
was
going
to
happen
in
the
semiconductor
components
industry
over
the
next
ten
years.
His
response
was
a
brief
article
entitled,
"Cramming
more
components
onto
integrated
circuits"
in
the
thirty-fifth
anniversary
issue
of
Electronics
magazine,
which
was
published
on
April
19,
1965.
Dr
Moore
speculated
that
by
1975
it
would
be
possible
to
contain
as
many
as
65,000
components
on
a
single
quarter-inch
semiconductor.
His
reasoning
was
a
log-linear
relationship
between
device
complexity
(higher
circuit
density
at
reduced
cost)
and
time.
At
the
1975
IEEE
International
Electron
Devices
Meeting
Moore
revised
the
forecast
rate
Semiconductor
complexity
would
continue
to
double
annually
until
about
1980
after
which
it
would
decrease
to
a
rate
of
doubling
approximately
every
two
years.
He
outlined
several
contributing
factors
for
this
exponential
behavior
.Simultaneous
evolution
to
finer
minimum
dimensions
and
what
Moore
called
"circuit
and
device
cleverness" |
|
Shortly
after
1975,
this
was
popularized
as
"Moore's
law"
stating
that
integrated
circuits
would
double
in
performance
every
18
months.
Predictions
of
similar
increases
in
computer
power
had
existed
years
prior
to
this.
It
is
reported
that
Intel
offered
US$
10,000
some
time
during
2005,
to
purchase
a
copy
of
the
original
Electronics
issue
in
which
Moore's
article
appeared.
Although
Moore's
law
initially
was
made
in
the
form
of
an
observation
and
forecast
the
more
widely
it
became
accepted,
the
more
it
served
as
a
goal
for
the
industry.
This
drove
both
marketing
and
engineering
departments
of
semiconductor
manufacturers
to
focus
enormous
energy
aiming
for
the
specified
increase
in
processing
power
that
it
was
presumed
one
or
more
of
their
competitors
would
soon
attain.
In
this
regard,
it
may
be
viewed
as
a
self-fulfilling
prophecy. |

PROBLEM
BASED
LEARNING
[PBL] |
While
talking
about
knowledge
prophecy
the
issues
for
acquiring
knowledge
are
equally
important
and
there
are
specific
instances
where
problem
based
learning
yielded
significant
results.
This
process
could
help
to
meet
the
engineers
capable
of
meeting
current
challenges
in
a
more
effective
manner.
In
problem
solving,
arriving
at
decisions
based
on
prior
knowledge
and
reasoning
is
important
while
in
problem
based
learning,
the
process
of
acquiring
new
knowledge
based
on
recognition
of
a
need
to
learn
is
important.
In
problem
based
learning,
small
groups
of
engineers
are
presented
with
contextual
situations
and
asked
to
define
the
problem,
decide
what
skills
and
resources
are
necessary
to
investigate
the
problem
and
then
pose
possible
solutions.
PBL
starts
with
the
problems
rather
than
with
exposition
of
disciplinary
knowledge.
Students
acquire
knowledge
skills
and
understanding
through
a
staged
sequence
of
problems
presented
in
sequence.
However,
not
all
studies
have
found
in
favour
of
problem
based
learning. |

KNOWLEDGE
MANAGEMENT |
People
are
investing
in
systems
to
capture,
organize,
and
disseminate
information,
and
then
call
it
knowledge.
But
knowledge,
by
definition,
cannot
be
converted
into
an
object
and
given
from
one
person
to
another
without
established
flowing
mechansims.
Much
of
the
confusion
and
disappointment
concerning
knowledge
management
stems
from
confusion
between
information
and
knowledge
since
not
even
KM
experts
link
knowledge
to
action.
There
is
no
clarity.
Knowledge
only
diffuses
when
there
are
learning
processesThere
is
a
discussion
going
on
at
the
moment
on
Linked--In,
about
the
definition
of
knowledge,
with
several
people
arguing
that
a
definition
of
knowledge
is
fundamental
to
knowledge
management.
Here
reproduce
the
quoted
example
of
a
map
of
mineral
data,
which
is
to
be
used
to
site
a
gold
mine:
Each
point
on
the
map
is
a
datum
-
a
mineral
sample
point,
with
a
location
in
space.
The
map
itself
is
information;
built
up
from
the
data
points
in
such
a
way
that
it
shows
patterns
which
can
be
interpreted
by
a
trained
geologist.
However,
to
interpret
that
map
needs
knowledge.
Every
one
other
than
a
geologist
could
not
interpret
it -
The
knowledge
-
the
know-how,
acquired
through
training
and
through
experience-
allows
a
mining
geologist
to
interpret
the
map
and
come
to
a
decision
-
to
site
a
goldmine,
to
take
more
samples,
or
to
declare
the
area
worthless.
In
this
example,
the
data,
the
information
and
the
knowledge
come
together
to
form
a
decision,
but
the
ignorant
person,
the
person
with
no
knowledge,
could
never
make
that
correct
decision.
As
such
the
importance
of
knowledge
management
arises
here
and
it
is
to
be
perceived
as
a
successor
to
reengineering. |

Knowledge |

Attitudes |
 |

 |
interpersonal

 |
the

|
|
Currently,
no
universally
accepted
definition
of
knowledge
management
exists,
but
there
are
some
basic
concepts
to
be
explored,
and
considered.
Simply
put,
knowledge
management
undertakes
to
identify
what
is
in
essence
a
human
asset
buried
in
the
minds
and
hard
drives
of
engineers
working
in
an
organization.
Knowledge
management
also
requires
a
system
that
will
allow
the
creation
of
new
knowledge,
a
dissemination
system
that
will
reach
every
engineer,
with
the
ability
to
package
knowledge
as
value-added
in
products,
services
and
systems.
However,
knowledge
management
goes
far
beyond
the
storage
and
manipulation
of
data,
or
even
of
information.
There
are
two
kinds
of
knowledge:
tacit,
which
is
hard
to
articulate,
versus
explicit
knowledge,
which
can
be
expressed
in
words
and
numbers
and
can
be
easily
communicated
and
shared
in
hard
form,
as
scientific
formulas,
codified
procedures,
or
universal
principles.
Tacit
or
unarticulated
knowledge
is
more
personal,
experiential,
context
specific,
and
hard
to
formalize.
This
kind
of
knowledge
is
difficult
to
communicate
or
share
with
others,
and
is
generally
inside
the
heads
of
individuals
and
teams.
Since
knowledge
may
be
an
organization's
only
sustainable
competitive
advantage,
it
is
very
important
to
capture
tacit
knowledge
and
transfer
it.
It
is
the
engieering
challenge |
|
THE
KNOWLEDGE
ECONOMY |
Knowledge
is
considered
as
discussed
in
various
artciles
as
available
in
cyberspace
as
intangible,
dynamic,
and
difficult
to
measure,
but
without
it
no
developmental
engineering
institution
can
sustain.
In
fact,
flows
of
knowledge
is
an
indicator
of
institution's
capacity
to
learn.
The
knowledge
economy
generally
could
be
considered
as
different
from
the
customary
economy
in
several
key
respects:
the
economics
is
not
of
scarcity,
but
rather
of
abundance,
and
unlike
most
resources
that
deplete
when
used,
information
and
knowledge
can
be
distributed,
and
actually
grows
through
such
synergy.
Indian
space
program
and
misssile
programs
are
the
best
examples
of
knowledge
economy
through
large
scale
pooling
of
knowledge
grid
through
deployment
of
principles
of
knowledge
mangement.
Knowledge
principles
in
which
recognized
attention
is
paid
to
what
some
researchers
called
the
"knowledge
grid."
It
is
defined
to
contain
four
categories
identified
as
follows: |
|
 |
what
we
know
we
know; |
 |
what
we
know
we
don't
know; |
 |
what
we
don't
know
we
know; |
 |
what
we
don't
know
we
don't
know." |
|
|
It
is
quite
posssible
that
these
4
become
the
major
challeges
that
need
to
be
addressed
for
meeting
the
challenges.
In
other
words
reuse
of
knowledge
saves
work,
reduces
communication
costs,
and
allows
a
enginners
to
take
on
more
challenges,
then
knowledge
management
is
in
place. |

INNOVATION |
A
big
idea
comes
along
at
just
the
moment
when
the
technology
exits
to
implement
it.
Many
times
innovation
is
a
matter
of
timing.
In
other
words
most
of
the
innovations
are
accidental.
The
observation
of
objects
and
phenomenon
happening
around
lead
to
development
of
some
of
the
very
crucial
technologies
for
example-
steam
engine,
penicillin
etc.,
There
were
few
exceptions
which
had
lot
of
lead
time
from
the
time
of
concept
to
the
development
of
technologies.
For
example
the
idea
of
sending
a
man
to
the
moon
was
proposed
right
when
the
progress
of
microchips
made
it
possible
to
put
computer
guidance
systems
into
the
nose
cone
of
a
rocket.
Charles
Babbage
published
his
paper
about
a
sophisticated
computer
in
1837,
but
it
took
a
hundred
years
to
achieve
the
scores
of
technological
advances
needed.
It
took
several
decades
for
acceptance
of
Radio
by
public
in
USA.
Same
is
case
of
computer.
But
internet
and
mobile
phones
penetrated
very
fast
into
the
social
fabric
as
pat
of
tools
of
knowledge
economy.
That
mean
invention
based
on
current
technologies
for
current
requirements
innovation
helps
in
meeting
the
engineering
challenges
as
well
as
knowledge
economy.
Currently,
the
goal
is
to
see
intelligent
people
using
innovation
to
create
knowledge
out
of
information. |
|
CONCLUSION |
Technological
infrastructure
that
can
link
people
enterprise-wide,
support
collaboration,
and
allow
people
in
the
organization
to
access
all
global
resources.
Information
technology
is
most
effective
when
it
converts
the
tacit
knowledge
of
an
individual
into
explicit
knowledge
that
is
then
accessible
by
all.
Engineers
must
think
through
their
technological
systems
to
ensure
they
have
the
capabilities
needed
for
the
21st
century
because
technology
such
as
Intranets
and
advanced
collaborative
software
have
made
knowledge
management
and
knowledge
economy
possible.
Competitive
success
will
be
based
less
on
how
strategically
physical
and
financial
resources
are
allocated,
and
more
on
how
strategically
intellectual
capital
is
managed-from
capturing,
coding
and
disseminating
information,
to
acquiring
new
competencies
through
training
and
development,
and
to
re-engineering
engineering
processes.
In
view
of
these
trends,
and
recognizing
that
knowledge
has
great
potential
value,
engineering
challenges
require
the
professional
to
embark
on
comprehensive
knowledge
management
programs.
The
move
to
a
knowledge
or
information-based
econmy,
there
is
requirement
of
a
top-notch
knowledge
management
system
to
secure
a
competitive
edge
and
a
capacity
for
learning.. |

GEOSPATIAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC HEALTH and
HEALTH CARE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

|
G GOVERNANCE and GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY |
G Governance (Geospatial Governance) can possibly be viewed or defined as the utilization of geospatial technology to facilitate decision makers taking spatially enabled and knowledgeable decisions. Good governance delivers superior services across all areas of government. E-governance is a well-liked expression at present and involves utilization of tools of technology to transformation of government services and work. Increasingly, geospatial technology is found to have scope for facilitating many tasks of governance, from facilities management to land records to natural resources and disaster management. With increased use of geospatial technology, governance processes are bound to grow from e-governance to g-governance. Geospatial technology essentially provides a framework for integrated problem solving. It enables us to understand problems better because it presents issues spatially, in a more comprehensible manner. Geospatial technology finds applications in advocacy, natural resources management, infrastructure management, environment, risk assessment, hazard mapping, disaster management etc.. As such, getting Geospatial thematic/attribute layers and their integration is the key for creation of G Governance services in any specified sector, for example, health, natural resources, climate change or disaster management etc.,
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a set of hardware and software tools for the input, storage, management, display and analysis of geographic and spatial data using any information that can be linked to a geographic location such as events, people, or environmental characteristics. The movement to G-Governance calls for provisioning geospatial layers to related programs such as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, state SDIs and the National e-Governance Program.

HEALTH CARE AND DISEASE MAPPING |
Health being a geographic issue and related to geospatial analyses finds many solutions in geospatial technology and epidemiology. Geospatial epidemiology is defined as “the description and analysis of geographic variations in disease with respect to demographic, environmental, behavioral, socioeconomic, genetic, and infectious risk factors”. It is increasingly being used in many studies by combining the methods of epidemiology, statistics and geospatial technology. Many environmental conditions affect people's health. For example, the distribution of wetlands may affect the dispersion of malaria, while groundwater aquifer and the location of solid or hazardous waste dumping sites may impact the drinking water quality, which in turn affect the resident's health. The focus of health care system is the patient. GISs are applicable to the care of patients with both infectious and chronic diseases. GIS also can help in identifying disparities in treatment access and outcomes. Because geographic areas are often homogeneous by race, ethinicity, language, or economic status, looking at spatial patterns of disease or other health out comes and relating them to demographic patterns may uncover healthcare disparities. Geospatial analytic techniques, such as proximity estimations and cluster analysis, are built on statistical methods that incorporate distance and direction measurements to generate geospatially accurate maps and graphic reports. Disease clustering can be classified as temporal clustering, spatial clustering or space time clustering. SaTScan software is very useful software that can perform geographical surveillance of a disease, detect clusters and test whether these clusters are statistically significant or not. |
|
LOCATION BASED HAZARD VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND HEALTH CARE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. |
Identifying risks from hazards and assessing a hospital or healthcare facility’s vulnerabilities to these risks is fundamentally about having right information and in many cases geospatial information. Ideally speaking it is imperative to have all hazards vulnerability assessment for a given area and the scope for application of geospatial technology to it is unlimited both in terms of extent of spatial and thematic coverage as well as cost effectiveness. The hospitals are first respondents in a disaster; it is in the interest of effective response for hospitals to participate in activities related to disaster management.
Use of disaster modeling software in the GIS predicts what geographic areas are vulnerable in an incident like the release of hazardous plume. Hazard vulnerability assessment is the process that identifies the internal and external risks of all hazards (natural, technological, human caused and hazardous materials related) most likely to affect facilities and the possibility of severity of impacts on response and recovery if they were to occur. By understanding the risk exposures, it should be possible for Government and other private/public organizations to develop adequate mitigation, preparedness and response and recovery actions for those risks, thus reducing the vulnerability and impact from several angles. All hospitals must also conduct hazard vulnerability assessment and in future it is likely to be accreditation requirement by Government {Hospital Accreditation Program}. This enables hospitals to identify potential emergencies that could affect demand for the hospital’s services or its ability to provide those services, the likelihood of those events occurring and consequences of those events. An advantage of application of geospatial technology in such assessments provides the scope to create “what if” scenarios for facilitating effective mitigation measures. |
|
FACILITIES PLANNING |
Many health related institutions globally have been appreciated for the innovative and wide-ranging uses of Geographic Information Systems (GISs) to address problems in health including facilities planning. Spatial decision analysis tools are useful to hospital administrators and clinical program designers to decide where to build new facilities, locate intervention programs, or allocate resources. Various criteria can be considered and combined using multiple criteria. The result is a ranking of geographic areas according to their suitability for the desired usage. Different criteria can be weighted for their importance in the decision-making process. The selection and weighting of criteria can be varied to see the impact on the suitability ranking. Geospatial analysis is a key component in the effective use of GISs in health care for data exploration, hypothesis testing, and modeling. This interactive process can test and model different scenarios and combinations of factors, using different weights for factors. |

SPATIAL INTEROPERABILITY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH |
Decision support in health care delivery and emergency public health response has gained incredible importance during the last decade for various reasons. Disease outbreaks like dengue fever have certainly exposed the flaws in the ability of public health, animal control, emergency response and health care delivery units to share critical data resources in a timely and efficient manner. Most health data collected from the existing sources does not pertain to certain common norms, formats and lack reliable geographic representation. As such the interoperability is an issue for taking it forward. The desired outcome of the interoperability is to create a standard frame of reference that facilitates decision making and cooperation and timely interventions in the event of any crisis. Success with the use of GIS is dependent on the availability of geospatial data which refers to data that includes geographic elements, such as latitude and longitude, as well as accurate information in the form of metadata elements. Georeferenced data is collected by use of Global Positioning System (GPS) device or by geocoding a given thematic or any other type maps, a process by which an address is assigned geographic coordinates. In general, coordinates derived from GPS devices are more accurate, but geocoding technology is quickly catching up and represents a very cost-effective way to enable legacy data for use in GIS. In addition to system level interoperability, situation demands the data level exchanges and geospatial analysis should be possible. |

Abstract |
|
Remote sensing sensors provide data covering different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum at different spatial and spectral resolutions. Spatial resolution represents the smallest resolvable area (e.g., pixel), while spectral resolution corresponds to the smallest wavelength that can be detected in the spectral measurement. High spatial resolution multispectral sensors, such as LISS IV, QuickBird, World View -2 and Geo Eye, provide data at high to very high spatial resolution but with limited spectral resolution. Presently available data from hyperspectral sensors, such as Hyperion, AVIRIS and CHRIS, have medium spatial resolution (ranging between 17-30 m) with rich spectral information. Both these high resolution multispectral and hyperspectral sensors have their own importance in identification and delineation of features. Although airborne hyperspectral sensors can give these kinds of high spatio-spectral images, they are very expensive and are not affordable by everyone. Hence, a fusion of hyperspectral and high spatial resolution multispectral images can increase interpretation capabilities and assist in improved target detection.
Image fusion can be defined as the process of dealing with data and information from multiple sources to achieve refined/improved information for decision making. Many studies that have been conducted based on the fusion of multispectral and panchromatic data have highlighted the advantages and importance of fusion. However, while these multispectral and panchromatic fusions can improve the qualities of the output images in the spatial context, they cannot improve the spectral properties of the fused output. The fusion of hyperspectral images with high resolution multispectral images may result in an image with high spectral and spatial resolution, in which the qualities of both of the input images can be preserved. Thus, the former can support better delineation of features spectrally, while the latter can help in identification of features spatially.

Remote sensing sensors provide data covering different regions of the electro-magnetic spectrum at different spatial and spectral resolutions, where the spatial resolution represents the smallest resolvable area (e.g. pixel) and the spectral resolution corresponds to the smallest wavelength that can be detected in the spectral measurement. The high spatial resolution multispectral sensors like LISS IV, QuickBird, World View -2, Geo eye etc provide data at high to very high spatial resolution but with a limited spectral resolution. The presently available data from hyperspectral sensors (like Hyperion, AVIRIS, CHRIS) have a medium spatial resolution (ranging between 17m – 30m) with rich spectral information. Both these high resolution multispectral and hyperspectral sensors have their own importance in identification and in delineation of the features. Although airborne hyperspectral sensors can give these kinds of high spatio spectral images, these are very expensive and are not affordable by everyone.
Hence a fusion of the hyperspectral and high spatial resolution multispectral images may allow increased interpretation capabilities and can assist in improved target detection. Image fusion can be defined as the process of dealing with data and information from multiple sources to achieve refined/improved information for decision making. Many studies were made based on the fusion of multispectral and the panchromatic data that have highlighted the advantages and the importance of fusion. However these multispectral and panchromatic fusions can improve the qualities of the output image in the spatial context, but cannot improve the spectral properties of the fused output The fusion of hyperspectral images with high resolution multispectral images may result in an image with high spectral and spatial resolution in which the qualities of both of the input images could be preserved. Thus, the former can support better delineation of features spectrally while the later can help in identification of features spatially.
There are various image fusion techniques available which can be used for fusing multispectral and panchromatic datasets like simple averaging, Principal Component (PC) sharpening, Brovey transform, Gram Schmidt fusion, Color Normalized technique, ehler’s fusion, wavelet based fusion, High Pass Filtering (HPF) method etc., each technique having its own advantages and limitations. Hyperspectral images consist of hundreds of contiguous bands with very narrow bandwidth and high spectral information. This quality aids in identification of materials of the objects on the ground unlike the multispectral datasets which can identify the patterns and coverage of the objects. However inspite of its high spectral resolution, its moderate spatial resolution induces many mixed pixels in the image that leads to misclassifications in the classified mapNot all algorithms that are used for multispectral datasets are suitable for fusing the hyperspectral data with multispectral data. Only some of the transformation based algorithms like Intensity Hue Saturation (IHS), Wavelet decomposition, Neural Networks, Knowledge-based image fusion, Gram Schmidt (GS) technique, Color Normalized Transform (CNT) etc. can help in fusing the hyperspectral and multi spectral datasets. The normal multispectral classifiers are not suitable for classifying the hyperspectral images due to their high volume and data redundancy. Various improved classification techniques like spectral angle mapper, artificial neural networks, spectral unmixing, support vector machine etc were developed for classifying the hyperspectral images.
