iGen is a suite of computer
benchmarks designed to test and compare the performance of various systems. Initially developed by Benoit Chaffanjon from
Sun Microsystems, it is developed in 100% Java and includes the following workloads:iGenCPU - A CPU microbenchmark simulating fractal generationiGenRAM - A Memory microbenchmark simulating the
California Lottery.iGenOLTP - An OLTP database benchmarkiGenBATCH - A BATCH database benchmarkiGenBIDW - A Business Intelligence database benchmarkiGenLDAPs - An LDAP search benchmarkiGenLDAPsm - An LDAP SiteMinder emulation benchmark

Integrated Engineering is a multi-disciplinary, design project based engineering degree program. Integrated Engnineering is a program created to meet the demand for engineers who are able to deal with a wide range of problems, often involving knowledge from several disciplines. The demand arise from the current state of industry, where both the products manufactured and the plants which make the products are progressing towards greater diversity and sophistication. Recent studies had shown concern in both
Canada and in the
United States that engineering graduates were not well-prepared for many of today's multi-disciplinary and project-based workplace. Several committees have been formed to study this and have published some material. One Canadian study was done by the
Canadian Academy of Engineering and two of its main conclusions were: Engineering faculties should ensure that breadth of learning, beyond the technical aspects of the specialist engineering discipline, is a major thrust in engineering education.The engineering curriculum should emphasize problem-solving, design, and the development of the learning skills of their students. Integrated Engineers acquire background in core disciplines such as:
materials,
solid mechanics,
fluid mechanics, and
systems involving
chemical,
electro-mechanical, and
biological components.
