I'll be teaching an undergraduate course on engineering thermodynamics. We will use the textbook by Cengel and Boles. I will supplement the textbook using my own notes on thermodynamics. Teaching this course will give me an opportunity to revise these notes and add new pieces. Here are notes for the opening lecture.
A new postdoctoral fellow position will start on 1 November 2015 at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. The position is in the area of theoretical and computational modeling of dynamic failure in soft solids. The potential candidate should have a Ph.D.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University (http://me.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor). Applications will be reviewed across all disciplines of mechanical engineering. As part of recent strategic planning, the department has identified special hiring needs and opportunities in controls, robotics, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering.
MIT invites top early career women in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and related domains (e.g. mechanics, materials, environmental and earth science) who are interested in careers in academia to apply to attend this new innovative workshop to be held on the MIT campus.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) just released a new international standard titled: "Overhead lines - Method for fatigue testing of conductors". IEC 62568. Edition 1.0 2015-07. www.iec.ch . It closely follows previous CIGRE and EPRI publications on this topic:
CIGRE SC B2 WG11 TF7 "Fatigue Endurance Capability of Conductor/Clamp Systems - Update of Present Knowledge" CIGRE TB 332, 2007, Paris.
Since 2012, Elsevier has been periodically offering free access to scientific content to support young scholars in between jobs or looking for their first postdoctoral position. Qualified applicants were granted six months free access to all our journals and books on ScienceDirect and were able to use this access to work on grant applications and research projects.
