What is the role of planning engineer in construction projects?
Role of a Planning Engineer: A role of a Planning Engineer is to mainly support the Project Manager and Project team with information to execute the project in time and within the budget allocated. This information is used by Project Managers in taking decisions for a smooth execution of the project.A planning engineer creates the information required by first detailing the activities involved in the project, fitting those in the timelines, calculating the materials, manpower and machinery required to execute these activities in the time frame decided.Since there are always deviations in the plan, the planning engineer also has to take periodic updates and revise the schedules to meet the targets.I know these things look like textbook definitions, So I will simply put the Roles & Responsibilities of the Planning Engineer in General for your better understanding.Preparation of Project Schedule (Tools used: Primavera, MS Project etc.,) covering entire scope and within defined timelinesCalculating Optimal Material requirement, Manpower Requirement (of various trades) & Machinery RequirementPlan for budget required for the project and create various budget heads to document and monitor the expensesCreate Cashflow analysis (ie., Expected billing (cash inflow) vs Expected cash outflow)Co-ordinate with various departments like Engineering (who provides working drawings), Procurement (who buys materials), Contracts (who awards contracts & raise any issues with the client), quality (who maintains ) & Commissioning DepartmentsCollect periodic updates and prepare daily, weekly and monthly updates of the projectCreate variance reports (Schedule Variance and Cost Variance - usually Earned Value Method (EMV) is used for this) at various stages of the project to analyse deviationsCreate Project Closing Reports and LearningsAlso, these job roles are only applicable for large scale projects. In small projects, usually planning engineer does almost all the office work that includes and is not limited to Hiring Contractors, Issuing Work Orders, Bill Certifications, client coordination, client billing,Hope my answer helped.
Mechanical engineering in the oil industry?
I'm seriously considering majoring in mechanical engineering, and the fact that I live in Saudi Arabia means that I'll almost certainly end up working for an oil company (Saudi Aramco) or an oilfield services company (Schlumberger, Baker Hughes). Now, I've read about mechanical engineering in general, but I want to what I'll be doing if I end up working as a mechanical engineer specifically in the oil industry. What will I be doing day-to-day? Will I be an instrumental part of the company or will my job be secondary to workers whose jobs are more related to the nature of the company, like petroleum and chemical engineers? The more elaborate the answer, the better. Thanks..
What is this hydrocarbon project about? Why should it be banned?
Before comparing with Gujarat and Andra pradesh hydrocarbons projects, just understand the ecology of Tamil nadu hydrocarbons area.Before the advent of Neyveli Lignite Corporation, entire region of cuddalore had good ground water reserves. Just to maintain the open extraction of coals, they have pumped so much water that today entire surrounding area is an barren land. Neither the government or media are bothered because affected people are ignorant, no government support mechanism and they think it is fate and commit suicide.Now neduvasal is a delta region and fertile land. Just think about the amount of water pumped out to maintain the well. Entire delta region will loose it's ground water. This region depends on ground water for agriculture as they hardly receive any water from KRS dam from Karnataka. Ecosystem is very fragile.This is not an sparsely populated area. This is a very fertile land which supports high population density. If they lose the ground water, almost 60% of the population will be displaced.Nowhere in the world agriculture is sacrificed for hydrocarbons.India is a 2 trillions dollars economy, we import around 100 billions dollars of crude oil. India has 1.2 billions people which needs at least $2 everyday for food on each individuals which equals to 100b × 2 × 365 days=around 900 billions dollars. Do we have to sacrifice our 900 billions dollars worth of agriculture for 100 billions worth of crude oils?Already crude oil productions are increasing in the world. It is already cheaper than the food prices.World is transforming to alternative energy, do we need this poluting industry?Now biggest issue on balance of payment is electronic and engineering products.We are not saying we don't want hydrocarbons. But not in the fertile agriculture area.Japan, Germany, South Korea and Taiwan don't have any hydrocarbons. But they have positive balance of payment because they export more electronic and engineering products. So a nation richness is not in the hydrocarbons. But industrialising the population.How many people benefit from this projects. It can create 1 or 2 billionaires and employment to thousands. But will displace milions of people.We are densely populated country, we can't afford to lose any productive land. Just requesting the corrupt corporates, officials and politicians not to play with lives of farmers and nature for your kids settling in abroad. We already have moaist issue in the eastern India. Don't create another one.

You can just try and attempt English portion from previous years'.Questions from Science are generally easy, if you had science in 11th-12th. About General Awareness, I don't know. One knows the answer to a question or one doesn't. Don't waste time mugging up some magazine. Congratulations ! You have cleared the cut-off with a safe margin.
