Decision engineering

Engineering Disasters One of the most famous engineers was Thomas Edison who famously stated that “ [he had] not failed, [he had discovered] 10,000 ways that did not work”. Despite Edison’s numerous failures, he eventually perfected his version of the light bulb, got it patented and proceeded to make his invention available to consumers. Edison’s approach illustrates the engineer’s ideal process, as he repeatedly tests and perfects the design of the desired result before releasing the result to…

harder science ones like Chemistry or Biology. I also did not go to the Health Science tables. This event made me very excited about the PPE Major. I went to the “What’s in a Major” events for Computer Science, Physics, and PPE. I did not go to Engineering because it was not yet on my radar. The Computer Science advisor was very nice and made me very excited about Computer Science. She especially liked pointing out the combined majors and the possibility of putting different things together.…

Gender Gap in Engineering Engineering has always been considered an exceptional major throughout the history. It combines various human characteristics and brings out their scientific and leadership skills. It is one of the few majors that are known for their intellectual challenges and tough problem solving situations. However, with all the scientific and technological advancements in the field of engineering, the controversy of whether or not females can work in this field and handle all its…

I’m in an engineering class and I think it’s a good thing to dragster because you can learn the different aspects of engineering. This class teaches me the different steps of engineering. Dragster teaches kids and maybe adults to have fun and get crafty with designing different things. One thing that is important to remember is. CO2 dragster cars are a small wooden hand-made car but has incredible speed. I did research on CO2 dragster cars and I found some very interesting information. Such as,…

Introduction The overarching goal of this paper is to understand the Deepwater Program SoS engineering and integration failures before the program change in 2007 and develop recommendations for future similar SoS programs that can potentially prevent some of the failures from occurring. In order to achieve the goal of this study, reviews of documents produced by the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports related…

motivated to study biomedical engineering with Ryerson. I have a strong technical aptitude and my own personal health challenges driving me. I originally went to school to become a pilot. I was successful, earned a 3.94 GPA then started my career at a small airline in northern Manitoba. A couple years into the career I became unable to hold a pilot’s medical certificate. A lot of pilots mentally hold a backup for such a scenario. For me; that has always been engineering. Pilots train on their…

1. Introduction Engineering affects all aspects of our lives, for instance, every building, object and machine that we use every day has been designed and built by engineers. Therefore the ethics and values of engineers have an important impact on society. There are many engineering challenges today. It was identified by the national science foundation that there are fourteen main engineering challenges. The challenge which is the focus of this report is access to clean water. We would expect…

Engineering is a practice that relies very heavily on the virtues of the engineer whether they are professional or not. Virtue is the behavior of showing high moral standards, which is critical for when engineers are faced with tough decisions on how to proceed with distasteful situations such as the Challenger. Before I dive into the virtues I believe are important for my career path, I must first explain what virtue means. Aristotle has a widely known definition of this theory which is why I…

excellent record, I satisfied my thirst for the practical knowledge of science and math by admitting myself into Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST), one of the top most engineering universities of Bangladesh. When it came to choose the department selection, I had to take an authentic decision for my betterment in life. As a developed country, Bangladesh is highly dependent on its industries. However, there are some lacking in proper training and command in our industrial…

“Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (e.g. chemistry and physics) and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) together with mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy (Cohen, 1996).” The field of chemical engineering is very diverse, covering areas from biotechnology to mineral processing. It would take too long to list all the products that are impacted by chemical…
