Decision engineering

to use inductive and deductive reasoning and to visualize how designs can be implemented in real life. All of these make sense due to the fact that Civil Engineers need to be able to think on the spot for solutions and be able to evaluate their decisions to come up with simple solutions to complex problems. From Mr. Ayers I learned that people in this field also need to have great communication skills especially for someone in his position. He has to describe these complex ideas to people who…

but malicious users will always find a way. These malicious users began using a technique called social engineering to infiltrate into places they were not allowed into. So what is social engineering when defined in a technology environment? Hadnagy defines social engineering as the art or…

described. As a result, this newer methodology only works if it’s performed correctly. For example, HealthCare.gov attempted to use an agile methodology (4), yet failed to deliver a complete quality project when the deadline approach. A software engineering has the responsibility to know these methodologies, correctly apply these methodologies, and recognize which methodology to use depending on the project…

hues of green mixed in. Now grasp the apple and take a small bite out of it. The satisfyingly sweet taste of grape is spreading throughout your… wait, your apple didn’t taste like that? Mine did, or at least it could through the process of genetic engineering. Listener Relevance: From our local Service Food grocery store to a Wal-mart Supercenter, we are living in an era where genetically modified foods are all around us. Since manufacturers are not currently required to label genetically…

Reverse engineering is important because it is used to figure out how something works after it has already been build. The concept of reverse engineering is using reasoning to figure out how something was made along with trying to figure out what module in our mind can be used to fix a problem. Pinker explains the process of reverse engineering by being able to trace the process of natural selection and being able to determine…

Chemical Engineering While searching for a major and trying to figure out what to do with your life, it is likely that you will come across someone supporting more people in STEM careers. Science, technology, engineering, and 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…

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…
