Design engineer

to tinker and build things to see how they worked all throughout my childhood. On the first day of my first engineering class the professor told us characteristics of a good engineer. The first thing she said was engineers are people who like to know how and why things work and that’s when I knew I was going to be an engineer. Engineering is a profession not an occupation that requires a lot of hard work and dedication to science and math. If someone can fight through the rigorous years of…

To be a mechanical engineer one has to learn various system components, from computer programming to power systems, and cover technical subjects, such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and hydraulics. They also need to gain a basic understanding of civil, electrical, and chemical engineering. A solid foundation in study techniques and technological applications is needed to identify problems and then come up with effective ways to talk about them. The best mechanical engineers challenge…

Communication in Industrial Engineering The world will always need engineers to bring ideas into life, however engineering is not for everyone. Thankfully, there are many different branches of engineering, whether it be mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc. One commonly overlooked is the field of industrial engineering. After I was certain I wanted to go into engineering, I took a good look at all the fields available. I decided that industrial engineering was the best fit for me, but I still…

satisfying results that the scientists and engineers desire in solving problems or designs there for a new approach is needed hence, Computational mechanics has become fundamentally important part of computational science and engineering, concerned with the use of computational approaches to characterize, predict and simulate physical events and engineering systems governed by the laws of mechanics as it uses computers and digital systems software to help engineers…

William Flake was born in Orangeburg, SC. Ever since he was a child he wanted to be an engineer. After spending the first six years of his life in Orangeburg, he moved to Goose Creek with his family and attended Stratford High School. During high school, William played varsity football under Coach Stackely. He was inducted into Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honor society. Most of his extracurricular activities involved several honor societies and dating girls. After high school, he was accepted…

and say, “wow, I would have never have known that would make for a cool photo.” It all came as a surprise to me. Seeing potential, or beauty where others may see empty space, might one day help me as an engineer see an opportunity to solve the problem at hand. USC promotes, and allows student engineers to keep going with their creative abilities through many student run organizations, that I will be taking part of if the permission to attend is…

Are you a problem solver with plenty of creativity and a desire to take your ideas and turn them into buildings and spaces? Are you good at using the left and right side of your brain and enjoy solving problems and conquering challenges? As an architect you will be able to put your creative ideas down on paper and then turn those drawings into reality. It is a challenging, but immensely rewarding profession and few things can compare to the feeling of seeing your ideas turned into something…

better healthcare for people. For hands on experience in biomedical engineering, I joined Engineering World Health (EWH), an organization that uses engineering skills to improve global health. There, I am learning how to implement the engineering design process to make a device for solving a health problem in a region. From the experience and knowledge I have learned and am learning, I am confident my skills will benefit the Biomedical Engineering Department and myself in the…

architect and engineer, wrote the treatise: De architectura – based on a set of principles concerned with the theory of architecture, also known as the Vitruvian triad. He highlights the importance of structural integrity, utility and function, and the honesty of true beauty defined by a paradigm of, “firmness, commodity and delight.” Vitruvius’ writings established a concept that influenced the craft of architecture developed to be the essential components of successful architectural design as…

Truthfully I never gave much thought to what effect science had or has on art. Even with my background being principally in the Architecture and Design, it was always just numbers to me. Art to me is something that is subjective at best, I love the craftsman style that doesn’t mean everybody does. Below is my interpretation of this week’s readings. Renaissance I am not sure if you would express [1] “Vitruvian Man” by Leonardo da Vinci as a work of art, undoubtedly this is a clear-cut display…
