Chemical engineering

At the end of my first year, my friend Jeanne suggested we take a class together fall quarter sophomore year (the 2nd year). The class was called Visual Thinking, the first class in the Design section of the Mechanical Engineering department. You learned to sketch ideas and build simple models. It looked very interesting. It was a very popular class, though and hard to get in. They gave priority to Mechanical Engineers, so Jeanne and I declared that as our majors and signed…

college or a university due to the need of money. I was born in Mexico and was 1 year old when my mom and I came here to the United States around 2001 and since then I believe my mom and I have lived a better life. My intended major is Mechanical Engineering and I plan to one day have a successful career in the Automotive Industry. I believe I am one of the best candidates for this…

that gender is often overlooked when diversity is discussed. Engineering has been and still is a male dominated field of study. Women have often been overlooked and seen as incapable of this type of work but in reality this is not true. Since NC State has a very large engineering program, I have had the opportunity to experience this on campus. Amelia Coley is a senior here at NC State and she is currently studying civil engineering. After meeting with Amelia and discussing her experiences as…

give up on them. What if a gender bias caused you to give up on your dream and settle for a job you would hate doing everyday? The article I am going to analyze today is “Outstanding women in mechanical engineering” written by Hoh, Yin Kiong. This article concerns how many women stray from engineering and science based jobs because of people’s perception of engineers and scientists. It also gives an amazing example of a very successful woman engineer and her accomplishments throughout her…

I have always been fascinated by how and what make things work the way they do. From a young age, I would sit in my garage taking things apart and putting them back together just to satisfy my curiosity. When I started high school this curiosity just got stronger, leading me to join my high school robotics team. With robotics I was able to explore the world of designing, testing, and bringing to life these ideas that started out as scrap metal. Through talking to different engineers at…

The Changes of the World. Without engineering many things that we see today wouldn’t even exist. The history of engineering is an important part of the world, it shows how the early engineers thought and how they solved the problems they were having at the time with the technology they had back then. Engineering plays a huge role in today’s society, an engineer spends countless amounts of hours studying to design construct and test many different things. There are many different types of…

Underestimated Risks Risk analysis in engineering design has played an important role from a very long time ago. At any certain level of designing, the understanding about the potential risk is crucial and must be carefully considered. At the last year in college, senior students will take capstone design project and learn about how to deal with risk analysis. There are many important risks needed to weigh and assess in the real world industry. These approaches should be technocratic and…

last minute and dealing with higher rates, and just spending money on things that had no correlation on the business at all. Furthermore, during and upon completion of the IndieGogo campaign, around $50,000 USD was sent to Allen Nejah of SunMan Engineering for a prototype Comeit would never receive. The lack of due diligence on Allen to understand his capabilities were not what Comeit needed is appalling and again lends credence to the fact that “management” thinks they know more about people…

achieved and in the same way I hold only myself responsible for every time I tasted defeat. But it was in 2009 when I was applying to engineering colleges that my father said something that surprised me. I was showing interest in Civil Engineering and was admitted into Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, one of the finest institutions for engineering in India. While I was excited about…

Outcome 3 explores what it takes for a writer to produce complex, analytical, persuasive arguments that contribute to the conversation of existing research and matter in academic contexts. It is important for a writer, when developing a complex and analytical claim, to implement the stakes of the argument, and why the argument matters to their field of research. If the argument has no purpose, then the writers desired audience have no reason to read it. It is also vital for the writer to…
