Design engineer

Engineering work touches on all aspects of everyday life. For this reason engineers are held to a high moral standard. This sense of responsibility and morality should be instilled in engineers from their formation. Gerald McLean focuses on the formative nature of engineering student's ethical instruction in his article, "Integrating Ethics and Design". McLean's purpose for writing this article is to convince the reader that the study of ethics should be integrated in engineering students'…

out their connections and establish relationships with people that can help them to achieve their personal goals. If you would ask a “world class” engineer if they established any connections over the years, they would probably say dozens. An engineer to that stature would have a ton of relationships in their field that have helped them become the engineer that they are today. Having a relationship with your peers allows for team cohesiveness, social aspects, and personal support. Everyone makes…

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…

culturally sensitive sign language in a professional environment) and listening skills. So developing these skills are important in day to day practicing life. Sometimes I encounter some colleagues and even clients that have very “thick” accents. As an engineer you need to be able to understand their requirements and “problems” in order to respond to them. One particular example, at the very first client meeting where we had a client representative with Scottish accent which I found very…

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 that engineers perform to the best of their ability and use their skills to improve…

Chemical engineers solve problems that include chemicals, drugs, oil and much more, applying the main principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and all of mathematics to aid them. These engineers also design new developments as well as equipment for comprehensive manufacturing. They tend to do a great deal of supervising production. Envision using all of the things you learned in your science classes and applying them to find new state-of-the-art and resourceful ways to make production of goods…

to Merriam Webster an engineer is “a person who has scientific training and who designs and builds complicated products, machines, systems, or structures.” Although most people think of this definition (or one relatively close to it) when they hear “engineer,” I understand it to be more than that. When I think of an engineer, I tend to look at that title through the perspective of the dedication, perseverance, and overall work ethic that that person had to become an engineer. From firsthand…

Civil Engineer Ever since I was in the 5th grade, I’ve liked to build things with Legos, K’nex and another construction toys. I liked the idea that something I visualized could actually come to life before me. That’s when my Mom told me about the world of engineering and that my father was an electrical engineer. The engineering spans a various amount of areas from computers to technological departments. However, the field that is most applicable to me is Civil. I prefer to be a Civil Engineer…

In a design and build contract an initial contractor is employed by the client, then the contractor is responsible for overseeing both the design and construction phase of a project. The contractor would either have their own in house design team they would use or employ external consultants who would assist in the design phase. A novation agreement is sometimes used in a design and build contract, this is where the client employs consultants to produce their initial design then the same…

Some things to know about Parsons are: There is another campus in Paris which was built before the New York campus. Parsons New York is one of the best schools to go to for design and the fine arts. It is also a brand new school. The BFA in fashion design program is the one I want to take. In this program you must complete 120 credits and must maintain a 2.0 GPA at least. Each term you have to complete 15 credits for 4 years. Some of the courses to take are: Drawing/Imaging- In this course you…
