I have a suggestion to open a discussion on how to improve "Engineering Problems" section.
Going thru the section we can see that most of the time questions are asked without proper data and people who are trying to help end up asking for more info in order to help.
Considering the person who has a difficult situation in hand, I think we may try to come up some come kind of fill-in the blanks approach for them to post their questions and get answers faster
For example in Engineering books there are a lot of formats, we can gather a format for different types of questions.
I am just making up some format here just to get this topic started:
1- Question is about: Analysis, design, foundation, beam, concrete , wood, etc (Say: Analysis)
2- Given: Applied code, loading, sketch of the problem (a picture worth a lot of words)
3- Answer requested for: (Having difficulty with ......?)
I think doing something like this will encourage forum members to answer the questions., and forum activity increases.
The person who is asking the question gets better and faster answers.
Saves time for everybody
Dear friends,
I need: The design and construction of filled building platforms

Easy, inexpensive, do-it-yourself solar energy projects
Featuring step-by-step instructions and useful photos and illustrations, this hands-on guide is filled with solar energy solutions you can put to use right away. Solar Power for Your Home shows you how to set up a variety of simple, money-saving solar projects quickly and easily, such as a solar water heater, a solar pool pump, solar lighting, a solar oven--and even a solar-powered lawn mower!
Learn all about the different types of solar technologies, including passive solar and photovoltaic, and determine which best suits your projects. You'll get details on assessing current energy use in your home, estimating the costs of solar installations, and calculating your overall savings. Reduce your carbon footprint--and your energy costs--with help from this practical resource.
Solar Power for Your Home covers:
*History, benefits, and potential detriments of solar energy
*Fundamentals of solar technologies--passive solar, photovoltaic, concentrating solar energy, and more
*Evaluating home electricity consumption
*Creating a personal energy plan
*How and when to contract your solar project
*Emerging technologies--thin film, nano, and hybrid solar and solar storage
*Funding options including rebates, incentives, and grants
*Standards, conversions, and helpful resources

This reference gets you up to speed on mathematical modeling for environmental and water resources management. With a practical, application-oriented approach, it discusses hydrodynamics, sediment processes, toxic fate and transport, and water quality and eutrophication in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters. A companion CD-ROM includes a modeling package and electronic files of numerical models, case studies, and model results. This is a core reference for water quality professionals and an excellent text for graduate students.
