Fields of engineering

I hope and pray to land a job when I graduate in May 2018. Currently I am actively seeking job with service companies, like Halliburton, Weatherford, FTS International, etc. Most of the service companies have great training program for recent graduates. With service companies, recent graduates start as field engineers. A field engineer is very hands on position. Field engineers are expected to work 84 to 100+ hours a week in not so ideal, outdoor condition. While some of my peers are deterred by the long hours, hard work and not so great pay, it doesn’t bother me at all. I believe as a field engineer I can learn a lot in a little time because of the hands on nature of the work. I see a lot more opportunity to learn, the more time I spend in the field. That’s also a big factor for me for choosing my location. If I get to pick my location, I would choose Permian basin, simply because that’s where all the activates are. The opportunity of learning and progressing is limitless around that region with the amount of oil and gas activities going on in that region.…

Clock ticking, teacher talking, as you sit behind your desk tapping your pencil waiting for class to end. For some of us in the vast world the last thing we want to do is walk sheets. I myself fall in to this group. This is why I get involved with activities such as science, Boy scouts and mechanics. All of these programs and hobbies keep me moving and Teach me things that will help me in engineering Field when I grow up. " The natural desire of good man is knowledge." Leonardo DA vinci, ever…

Engineering prep has taught me plenty of skills in the world of drafting, but when it comes down to it, I have to think of possible fields that would best fit me or that are available to me through the engineering field. Architecture is one of the most well known fields of engineering. Architects are in charge of several things when talking about their field of work, but when it comes down to it they do one thing and that is design houses. Not always is it just limited to being someone who…

My decision to pursue a career in mechanical engineering came, not as an epiphany, but as an evolutionary process. I realized that engineering with a focus on efficient transportation was the heart of my home country’s economy, Thailand. Automobiles became a point of interest for me. I would spend almost every weekend at an automobile repair shop near my home. I would help the mechanics in doing their job, and as my skills developed, I came to understand the role of the engineer - to design…

more popular part of the healthcare field, even though many people do not know about it. Genetic counseling is a growing career in the healthcare system. Genetic counseling is not the sort of counseling somebody receives after a tragic event, or when somebody breaks the law, but genetic counseling has to do with inheriting diseases and traits that are passed from one generation to the next. “Genetic counselors assess individual or family risk for a variety of inherited conditions, such as…

The power of being able to express one’s ideas is of the utmost importance in the engineering field. In fact this the one of the most powerful tools in every field not just engineering. This is seen throughout history. A perfect example of the magnitude of this powerful tool, is that of Leonardo Da Vinci. Davinci is a well known household name even today in the twentieth century, even though he was born 563 years ago. The reason for his incredible success lasting for centuries, was his artistic…

on table 11.1, very few women worked in what were considered “men’s fields.” These fields consisted of civil engineers, auto mobile and mechanical, and dentistry field. In contrast, women tended to work as registered nurses, kindergarten and preschool teachers. Over the past 30 years, more women have migrated into what were once considered men’s jobs, but for most fields, these numbers are still statistically low. According to the U.S.…

into the world” simply put, if a woman is given the proper opportunity in terms of education and enlightenment she will be prepared for what the world has to offer. In recent times fewer women, especially minorities, have been involved in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This information serves as a chilling contradiction to the late 1960s when technological jobs such as computer programming was deemed as something a savvy young woman could do even comparing computer…

We as a society need to encourage more young girls and women to take an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2009, 48% of the United States workforce was comprised of women while 52% comprised of men (Kimmel et al, 2012). While the slight deviation in percentage seems small, when STEM field jobs were looked at in particular, it was realized that that 76% of the STEM jobs are held be men while women only held on to 24% (Szelényi et al, 2013). In…

Summary: The dad left the family so they brought in a crazy man from the mental hospital to work on their fields it was suggested by the neighbours but they didn’t think the mom would actually go do that.
