I trained all through my under grad to work on board a ship; I heard stories about life at sea from professors and seniors who returned from sailing. I read books both from the…

money, NASA used contractor so it could reduce cost and development time. Lockheed Martin Astronautics (LMA) was chosen to be the prime contractor for MPL project. 3. Contractor: Since LMA won the contract, the project was heavily relied on the LMA engineer structure rather than the former experienced JPL team. Soon, LMA realized its systems engineering resources were insufficient to meet the needs of the project. To solve the problem, LMA decided to utilize the reuse the software and hardware…

engineering and game design? Role Models Everyone knows that young people are influenced by what they see around them. Teachers, parents, relatives and family friends are all role models. Because not many women are currently employed as software engineers, younger women and girls will not see it as a career that they could succeed at. Women today succeed in many careers, so girls have many role models in these careers, but not in software engineering and game design. Girls don't aspire to…

woodlands of the United States and Canada. Diaz critiques the misrepresentation of the Lenape people, whose language has been appropriated without acknowledgment of its origins. This discussion prompts me to question my role as a future structural engineer. Am I perpetuating this misrepresentation by contributing to the construction of buildings, streets, and infrastructure in a city with a name derived from Indigenous culture? Does expanding a city with a stolen name further obscure or honor…

professional engineer with regards to the public health and safety and how this in overturn adversely affected or impacted the engineering outcome. Briefly a professional (a profession) by simpler definition is personnel who have a strong foundation in the principals of physics and exercise sound judgment when designing and analyzing such systems (Young, Michael; M&Y consultants and trainers (PTY) Ltd, 2016). There are attributes to which this definition extends (Fleddermann, 2008). Engineers,…

me realise the challenges and difficulties one might face as an engineer. For instance, producing lift was a major problem, so I made many variations of propellers to find the most effective one. To me, the most enjoyable part of the project was overcoming the obstacles. I was proud and satisfied to see it work after weeks of tests and improvements. As a fan of remote controlled cars for many years, the idea of being an engineer has constantly recurred to me. This was reinforced when I…

I have grown up in a family of highly educated members. My dad is a mechanical engineer, my uncle has Masters in Physics, but he is currently working as a banker now, and he handles 4-5 branches under him. My brother has computer engineering degree, and he is recently doing his masters in Computer Science. Finally, I have always wanted to make my career in a science or engineering field. My dad owned Submersible Pump factory in India, and instead of going to play outside with my friend, I loved…

France and England way back when fought every other week. I don’t believe that history class will be important for my future. As presented, history class is most definitely the subject that will have the least effect on me when I am older. As a future engineer, I will never need to know the entire history of the world. It seems pointless for me to go through history class without it being important for me. It only leaves me to think: Why do I need take…

floor collapsed subsequently causing the lower floors to collapse in a chain reaction. Twenty Three workers were injured and eleven were killed.
