THE SKILLS SHORTFALL Research suggests that many graduates worldwide are not ‘workplace ready’. In India, for example, nearly 80% of employers believe graduates aren’t work-ready on entering the employment market, according to a survey by the Chartered Management Institute. Meanwhile, almost one-fifth of recent graduates in the US said their college education did not provide the skills necessary for their first job, and about half decided not to apply to entry-level positions because they felt they were not qualified, according to a recent survey by Cengage. The numbers are even more dramatic ..read more

In 2014, Tokyo-based ABBALab created a support program for startups that wish to develop and market hardware for the Internet of Things (IoT). ABBALab proposes a wide variety of services, from funding and equipment to skill enhancement starting at the prototyping phase of early development. Konishi explained that he founded exiii on the idea that he and his colleagues could provide the designs for everything from the mechanisms and substrates to the configurations and programming code of robotic prosthetic hands, which are extremely expensive devices, in an open-source format. “We also believ ..read more

Gauge Values in Cut List Properties If you use gauge tables to define the thickness of sheet metal parts, the gauge number appears in the Cut-List Properties dialog box. In the associated drawing, the gauge value is available for annotations and cut lists. In the Cut-List Properties dialog box, the Evaluated Value for Sheet Metal Gauge is Gauge Number GA. For example, if you use a 3 Gauge in a sheet metal part, the Evaluated Value is 3 GA. In drawings, you can link an annotation to the Sheet Metal Gauge property and you ..read more
