,Chapter 1: Introduction to the Engineering Profession
1.20 Estimate the amount of copy or printing paper that you use every year. A 500-sheet ream
of copy paper has an approximate mass of 5 pounds (2.27 kg). How much of this
consumption is truly necessary, and how much of your own paper consumption could be
avoided? State your assumptions.
SOLUTION
For example, on average, I use 15 pages per day; then on a yearly basis, I use 5475 pages
(15 x 365).
5475 pages 5 pounds pounds of paper
( )( ) = 54.75
year 500 pages year
- Print only when necessary; convert online articles, emails; online receipts, etc. to PDF
and save them electronically. Submit reports electronically when appropriate.
- Print on both sides of the paper.

4.14 Plot the following data. Use two different y-axes. Use a scale of zero to 100°F for
temperature, and zero to 12 mph for wind speed. Present your work using the
ideas discussed in this chapter and engineering papers.
