Niels Bohr once said “If fast mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet’’. Mechanics is a constant in today’s world. Cars, dirtbikes, and ATVs, ETC have been around for as long as anyone can remember. Choosing to become a mechanic is a personal decision that takes time and consideration. Within the mechanic profession, there are many different places. For my future I'm confident that it's going to be pretty bright, I intend on being a motorcycle mechanic for a…
Engineering, it is a profession that requires one to think creatively: forcing one to leave a comfort zone into the perplexing; while it may be daunting, it excites me. I have studied chemical engineering as an undergraduate and there was never a dull moment, I enjoyed it to the fullest. However, I have innate enthusiasm in Flow Physics and Computational Engineering, a specialty in mechanical engineering in which I plan to pursue. My fondness of it enhanced because of my professional and…
items that I will be talking about are things that I have learned from either being talked to about or that I have read online about the colleges. These items will include the cost of each school, strictness, the living conditions, and the mechanical engineering program of each school. The cost of both of these schools is something I know just enough about to tell you what I know. When I talked to a cadet from Norwich University last week at Hargrave Military Academy I asked him what the cost…
Through my research over the past few weeks, I have learned a great deal about the mechanical industry, and how ever-changing it has become. One major aspect that stuck out to me in my research was the recent shift to automation in the mechanical industries in the past decade. More and more manufacturing companies are focusing more workload on machines and replacing the traditional human workers on assembly lines. Is this shift to robots more beneficial to companies? How does this effect the…
current degree, mechanical engineering. Going into mechanical engineering will allow me to use several of the skills learned in the machining field and be able to be share knowledge to other engineers on how to improve…
papers for my classes, and I have done so nonchalantly without giving them much thought. I do recall the one time that my research paper from my Principles of Engineering class changed my outlook on not just my writing but also on my future. In my Principles of Engineering class, we were assigned to write a research paper on a branch of engineering that we found interesting and expand on it by expressing our motives for choosing that branch. Our paper had to be five pages long and include at…
graduated from the UCLA School of engineering in 1967 as a mechanical engineer. After graduating, he worked as a development engineer in the aerospace industry for 4 yrs. Two years after being hired, he was laid off for six weeks. Realizing that layoffs could be common he spent those six weeks considering whether or not he wanted to continue his career in engineering. Because he had enjoyed physics…
the University that several of my good friends attend, is that I wish to participate in the Aerospace Engineering program—for which there is no comparable program at VCU. Thus far, commuting to VCU and taking engineering, mathematics and physics courses related to my intended major(s) of Mechanical Engineering and Physics has been exhilarating, and has helped to solidify my interest in engineering. I have had wonderful experiences at VCU, such as crafting a coil gun and undertaking a University…
During the service, I occasionally peer over to look down at the people in the pews below and take note of newcomers and regulars alike. A few hours later and only a few lines to go before my cue, I head behind the curtain with the rest of rude mechanicals. Upon our entrance, the crowd laughs at Bottom preparing for his performance as the illustrious Pyramus from Pyramus and Thisbe. Since we speak in an invented language created specifically for the production, the audience understands the…
Extended Response - Shakespeare INTRO William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream are plays that share similar ideologies and representations despite them being a tragedy and a comedy respectively. The similarities are predominantly that of the father daughter relationship, as well as love, marriage and rebellion. Romeo and Juliet is a story about star crossed lovers whose families are feuding, with a plot line that focuses on Juliet and her father Capulet. A Midsummer…
