Those who molds themselves according to the circumstances are the actual survivors or successor of this century. Trends of all aspects of life continuously changes so as of job opportunities or fashions of jobs for engineers. Being an consultant engineer is one of them.
Now, how it works or what it is , whenever any industry encounters any problem which is not solved by its own engineers. It acquires help of consultant engineers in a way through a consulting agency or by private consultant engineer. According to Dr.Wasif our faculty teacher, there are number of problems which a industry faces day in and day out which require knowledge rather than only experience to quantitatively solve the problems. Here comes the part of consulting engineer. Industries therefore approach consulting engineers where they give priority to private consulting engineers or fresh engineers instead of going to consulting agencies because of their less expenditure for solutions, since fees of fresh engineers or private consulting engineers are much lesser than a consultant agency. Therefore this job has large vacant space for fresh engineers having broad vision and eager to utilize their knowledge and skills. According to Dr.Wasif this is a businesss in which there 0% investment or probably just your knowledge. It is the knowledge due to which 50+ managers of different corporations takes masters class just to put few more drops of knowledge into their lives. He further said that this type of job can easily be run parallel to any permanent job e.g teaching and etc. This is the job that boost up your mind with engineering skills more and more with the number of problems you solves. He further said that right now he with his team which comprises of few final year students is currently working for PIA for consulting purpose.
According to him, Karachi is the best place for such type of job since its industrial hub of our country and this is the reason its volume and demand is increasing every day.

Storage tanks are containers that hold liquids, compressed gases (gas tank) or mediums used for the short- or long-term storage of heat or cold. The term can be used for reservoirs (artificial lakes and ponds), and for manufactured containers. Storage tanks are often cylindrical in shape, perpendicular to the ground with flat bottoms, and a fixed or floating roof.
Types and Specifications:
Acid Neutralization Tanks
Acid neutralization tanks were installed to ensure effluent pH is in compliance with Metro Vancouver Sewer Use Bylaws and to minimize any potential corrosive attack on a facility’s drainage system.
Atmospheric:
An atmospheric tank is a container for holding a liquid at atmospheric pressure. The major design code for welded atmospheric tanks are API 650 and API 620. API 653 is used for analysis of in-service storage tanks.
High Pressure:
In the case of a liquefied gas such as hydrogen or chlorine, or a compressed gas such as compressed natural gas or MAPP, the storage tank must be made to withstand the sometimes immense pressures exerted by the contents. These tanks may be called cylinders and, being pressure vessels, are sometimes excluded from the class of “tanks”.
Milk tank:
In dairy farming a bulk milk cooling tank is a large storage tank for cooling and holding milk at a cold temperature until it can be picked up by a milk hauler. The bulk milk cooling tank is an important milk farm equipment. It is usually made of stainless steel and used every day to store the raw milk on the farm in good condition. It must be cleaned after each milk collection. The milk cooling tank can be the property of the farmer or being rented to the farmer by the dairy plant.
Septic tank:
A septic tank is a watertight container for receiving, treating and settling domestic sewage. They are regulated by the Sewer System Regulations under the Public Health Act.Anaerobic digestion occurs on the settled solids, reducing the volume of solids. The water released by the system is normally absorbed by the drain field without needing any further treatment.
Materials of construction:
While steel and concrete remain one of the most popular choices for tanks, glass-reinforced plastic, thermoplastic and polyethylene tanks are increasing in popularity. They offer lower build costs and greater chemical resistance, especially for storage of speciality chemicals. There are several relevant standards, such as British Standard 4994 (1989), DVS(German Welding Institute) 2205, and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) RTP-1 which give advice on wall thickness, quality control procedures, testing procedures, accreditation, fabrication and design criteria of final product.

Albert Einstein was a prodigious physicist while Isaac Newton was a phenomenal mathematician further more Dr.Qadeer Khan is an astounding and incredible nuclear physicist and metallurgical engineer. But how many great personalities you know who had their major same as you that is Industrial Engineering?
So, following are some of the most famous and successful Industrial engineers. Who not only used their academic knowledge but also their backgrounds in engineering with full determination which lead them to be the real leaders in their respective industries or sectors.
Henry Ford an irish farm boy brought up on a family farm and was expected to do farm work but he had his own ideas and vision which turned him into the most famous industrial engineer of all time. He not only founded Ford Motor Company with his perseverance and persistency but with his genious mind and rare talent introduced assembly line in his factory which immensely increased production. His principals and assembly line technique revolutionized industrial sector. He was the one to be responsible for transforming automobile from an invention of an unknown utility into an innovation that profoundly shaped the 20th century and continues to affect our lives today.
Tim Cook born in a small city of US. Son to a shipyard worker and his mother was a worker at a pharmacy. But after earning his BS degree in Industrial engineering he enjoyed his bright career only due to his consistent struggle and devotion. First as Director in IBM then COO in Compaq and after that CEO at Apple and also served as board of directors of Nike Inc.. He was the one that succeed Steve Jobs and became CEO at Apple. After becoming CEO he rescued company from almost spiral death. He saved millions by closing unnecessary warehouses and factories and limiting inventory from months to days.
Another is Michael Terry Duke who made a remarkable use of his knowledge and enjoyed many powerful positions after receiving his BS degree in Industrial Engineeringin 1971. Duke currently is CEO of Walmart and ranked no.10 on Forbe’s list of the World’s Most Powerful People in 2013. In addition to that in 2012, his salary was estimated to be 18.2 million(US Dollars).
Edward Whitacre.Jr who, also got his BS degree in Industrial Engineering from Taxes Tech University started his career as a Facility Engineer. But his tenacious attitude towards hardwork and indefatigable struggle made him CEO of AT&T Inc. which is amongst the largest and most influential names in technology. Then he became chairman and CEO of General Motors and later retired on this position. In 2008 upon his services Taxes Tech University renamed its college to Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering.
One can have a lot of admiration for all these men for their accomplishments, success and their name which they earned through their knowledge about Industrial Engineering. All of them used lean, engineering knowledge and skills in a stupendous way to become some of the most famous Industrial Engineers to date.
making a bundle of plans and executing a single plan, have a vast difference.
