Mechanical Engineering Essay

The subjects which I have chosen to continue at A level, are subjects which I find both stimulating and enjoyable. I have always wanted to study maths and science, over the arts, as I find that this appeals to the logical side of my mind. In general, STEM subjects come more naturally to me, and therefore, I would like to study Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics in sixth-form, also believing that they will also be vital for the science-related job I would like to find in the future. In…

As a freshman, I struck a deal with myself: I would focus on Bible Quizzing and on the Academic Team until I graduated high school, and once I began college, I would focus solely on mathematics. This concentration would allow me to compete at a much higher level in both activities while only sacrificing a few years of studying mathematics. Fortunately, it has worked almost perfectly; I have Bible quizzed multiple times at the National level, have placed third and fourth at State while on the…

choice school for many reasons, one being the sophisticated engineering program that is offered. Not only is UW Madison’s College of Engineering among the top engineering programs offered in the nation, it also offers many research opportunities. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is renowned for its wide range of research opportunities and its focus on research, which reflects the mission statement of the UW Madison College of Engineering, which involves using research and innovative teaching…

On the 16th of September 2016, Doctor Ray Stefani gave a lecture titled: Engineering and Technology: History, Doing the Seemingly Impossible, Helpful Hints for Studying and Using Your Time at Chaffey the Smart Way. Dr. Stefani went on lecture about what he loves about being an Electrical Engineering, briefly. His lecture was actually about the preparation of our journeys to transfer, the Olympics; oddly enough once Dr. Stefani started his lecture it all made sense, Dr. Stefani seemed passionate…

knowledge to solve problems for our State and the technological world.” Also, the school is listed as third on USA Today’s best engineering schools in the US. The ranking explains, “While not as selective as the first two schools on this list, Missouri S&T still produces high student outcomes, making it rank high on the best value list. The average starting salary for engineering grads at this school is $60,000” (USA Today, 2015). That average starting salary truly shows what businesses think…

As the class finishes up the prototyping unit, I think about my personal experiences during the planning, prototyping, and creation of my media charging stand. A few changes were made along the way to a successful project, but overall, I am happy with the outcome. I will walk you through my thought process and experiences as I applied my skills (or lack thereof), while we worked in the wood shop. At the beginning of the unit, we were presented with a problem. We had to design a few sketches of…

Careers in the automotive field are always a great necessity in today’s society. You can always count on the fact that people will need assistance with their automobiles. Throughout the years up until today, the evolution with cars have skyrocketed; with style, dynamics, technology, and also safety precautions. A key component that designers still take into consideration is how far along designs have come from the birth of the seemingly prehistoric Hot Rod. The technology available today are a…

• Aerospace engineering and computer sciences are important in today’s society because without these two fields, life as we know it would not be possible. Aerospace engineering is responsible for many inventions that we take for granted every day. Things like the rumble strips down the highways, braces, Velcro, Febreze, and much more. Without aerospace engineering inventions like these would not exist. By exploring how to travel in space, different inventions are made that citizens can use in…

Iphone screens have really progressed from the time they originally came out. With new technological advancements they now use a screen made of thin, yet strong material called “Gorilla Glass”. When “compared to other brands of glass Corning’s Gorilla Glass is particularly: hard, thin, lightweight, and scratch resistant.” According to Anne Marie Helmenstine, “The glass consists of a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate.” The glass is then “strengthened using an ion-exchange process which forces…

The discipline of science has been my future aspiration ever since I was young. Science for me acts as a frame to view the world around me. The excitement I feel when discovering how reactions work and how chemicals behave, for example how there is specific amount of iodine requires changes the color of thiosulfate ions, made me envision myself as a chemist. The idea that there are limitless possibilities for beneficial creations for mankind has especially fuelled me to explore chemistry. But,…
