Chemical engineering

Hey you made it! UBC Engineering! First off, great job getting into this competitive program! You should be proud of yourself and I hope you are excited to step into this amazing journey. I am writing to you to let you know about my transition to engineering so far and hopefully I can help you feel more welcome to this program. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am currently in first year engineering like you and I started this term quite worried and doubtful as to whether or not I…

Define the problem The problem for this design project was that we had to construct a CO2- powered dragster to specific specifications. These specifications were in the lengths, shape, and weight of the dragster. Research To prepare for this build we had a few days to research, brainstorm, and decide a design for our dragster. To research my partner and I mostly used the internet to look at examples and other dragster projects. We also researched how we could make the car aerodynamic and fast.…

Technology is a tremendous tool created by human beings. It offers goods and services that led to massive and wonderful accomplishments. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine a life without technology because it is present in every second in people’s daily lives. From cellphones, cars, iPods, computers, calculators, printers, and countless of other devices that make human existence easy and enjoyable. However, as technology can be referred as a magical utensil, the misusage of the same…

In this essay I will be identifying three examples of bad human designs, describe why they are problematic and provide my own recommendations for correcting each particular problem. Human Factors and engineering psychologist study how people interact with machines and technology. As I read about human factor designs, the American Psychological Association (2015) informed me that "they use psychological science to guide the design of products, systems and devices we use everyday while often…

From my childhood, I have always been fascinated by the science of moving or flying objects . Since when i was a child i constantly watched experimental TV shows like Mythbusters and penn or Teller . These TV shows have always been a fascination and excitment to me . While other people of my age did not like to study science or to take AP courses . I always accepted the challenges from Calculus and AP physics and worked hard to achieve the best of me . I realised…

My desire is to become an experimental physical chemist who studies biological systems. I hope to combine my interest in physical chemistry, and the knowledge I have gained working in a chemical biology research laboratory, to understand biological macromolecules at a fundamental level. When I first attended organic chemistry seminars as a sophomore, I was impressed at the eloquence and the enthusiasm of the speakers. Endeavoring to have insights like those of experienced scientists, I took…

According to Sanderson & Huffman (2017), technostress is the anxiety you feel due to overexposure or the interaction that you have in your everyday life with technology. There are times when we all get addicted or stressed out when it comes to technology and the devices that we use. The stress comes from having constant access to a device in which you never unplug from the device. Below I have listed methods that I can use in order to change how technostress is impacting my life. Above in my…
