The 2011 Engineering Income and Salary Survey, conducted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), shows that despite the gloomy state of the U.S. economy, engineering professionals continue to earn good salaries.he U.S. responses reflect a salary gap between men and women. The median income of female engineers ($75,000) is less than male engineers ($91,679). But according to Holt, the gender gap as defined in the literature for the past several decades is definitely closing.
The foot can be subdivided into the hindfoot, the midfoot, and the forefoot: The hindfoot is composed of the talus (or ankle bone) and the calcaneus (or heel bone). The two long bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula, are connected to the top of the talus to form the ankle.n many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws or nails.
Between the heads of the metatarsal bones and the bottoms of the proximal phalanges (your toe bones) are the metatarsophalangeal joints. In other words, metatarsophalangeal joints connect your toe bones to your foot bones. These joints are surrounded by a thin joint capsule and have ligaments that support them. It's good to know, too, that the first metatarsophalangeal joint is commonly known as the big toe joint while the little toe joint is known as the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint. 1  The first metatarsal (big toe) also articulates with (or connects with) two sesamoid bones on the plantar surface of the foot (the bottom of the foot).
