Civil engineer

I have always aspired to be an astronaut ever since I was younger. That aspiration has continued being resilient but, in addition to being an astronaut, I would also love being an aerospace engineer or an astrophysicist at institutions like NASA or any other aeronautics and space association. Both professions would apply their discoveries in order to innovate new technologies to further space exploration. In the future, I want to help mankind set foot on Mars and possibly make science fiction a…

mathematics covers a very wide range of education and job opportunities. People who apply these disciplines in their careers are on the frontlines of American technological innovation. Chemical engineering is one of these STEM courses. In short, chemical engineers use skills such as chemistry, physics, and engineering to develop different and new processes for manufacturing chemicals on a large scale ("17-2041.00"). STEM fields are important to society in many ways, and I hope that I can make a…

mechanical engineer is quite simply someone who works on car engines and mechanics. Most people think that when you are an "Engineer" (short for mechanical engineer) that you only work on engines and repairing them, but this is not true. There are many aspects to mechanical engineering at what it brings to the table. Mechanical engineers work on the physics and science behind design of making or manufacturing of engines, also known as mechanical systems. The very first mechanical engineers were…

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 career. Hoh, Yin Kiong talks about in the article that the exposure to female mechanical engineers would push more young women towards this career path. This article was convincing in some ways but it lacked certain aspects that…

Mechanical Engineers: Life Changing Creators From smothering smoke to rattling that shook the entire building, the machine began to crash and shut down completely. A panic fell across the room as the dramatic scene was taking place. Confusion and worry was being expressed through the eyes of every employee in the room. Production was at a halt and the business was in a crisis. Before anyone was able to make a move, a man carrying a tool bag stormed in and immediately was heading towards the…

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 robotics competitions I found that what I really wanted to do with my life was study to become a mechanical engineer. Of the labs that we visited during this class I was most drawn to the machine shop. I am a hands on learner so to see that we have the opportunity to get hands on experience with…

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 engineers in this world, ranging from electrical engineers, to mechanical engineering and even to a nuclear engineer. An engineer uses the education they have…

within the enormous branch that people refer to as engineering. The two branches that got my attention were electrical engineer and mechanical engineer. Since this two branches deal with different aspects of engineering, I will be talking about engineering as a big branch. Therefore, Engineering has responsibilities that help the worker apply themselves and prosper at their job. Engineers have a lot of things on their plate when it comes to their job. The engineering job has a very different…

Boring Engineers?? Engineers are stereotyped as being boring, introverted and hard to get along with. But in truth, engineers of today must be creative and able to work in teams to develop new and exciting products. Guest speaker Professor Charles Hollenbeck revealed this during a recent lecture given at Chaffey College. Professor Hollenbeck graduated from the UCLA School of engineering in 1967 as a mechanical engineer. After graduating, he worked as a development engineer in the aerospace…

How to be a great Electrical Engineer --- Analysis on virtue ethics of Electrical Engineers With increasing demands of new technologies, engineers have an essential role in human’s life nowadays. Mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and many other types of engineers are trying their best to bring the best and safest technologies to human society. Among these varieties of engineers, electrical engineers play an important role in numerous fields. An electrical engineer has varieties of…
