Earthquake engineering

Brusso Love the new world of technology? The world around is changing everyday like it or not. This is because of technology and its advancements. Along with the advancements of technology comes mistakes, bad parts, and unsafe compound devices. More electronic repairers will be required to keep up the pace of faulty technology. With malfunctioning technology, electronic repairers may face a busy schedule with a full time job, but gets the satisfaction of helping others with everyday problems…

chemical engineering. Carnegie Mellon’s state of the art facilities, concentration on cutting-edge research, and location inside the jubilant city of Pittsburgh combine to make Carnegie my top choice for my upper level education. Over the last summer, my family and I visited the university. We were blown away with the beauty of all of the buildings and the marvels of the high-tech facilities, in particular the computer science building. But with my prospective major being chemical engineering, I…

Science is a very important part in everybody's lives. Innovations in science have completely changed the way we live. I would like to be a part of these changes by working with either nuclear power or possibly astronautical engineering.I've always been fascinated by space and just recently I've learned about nuclear fusion. Both of these are great ways to change the world. I've always loved to learn about science. In elementary school and middle school, science was always my favorite class.…

communicating was through radios. After graduating from high school,Jack continued his higher education in the University of Illinois, where he majored in Electrical Engineering and also took several different subjects of his interest. One specific subject that Jack studied along with his major classes was the physics in the engineering of vacuum tubes. When Jack graduated from the University of Illinois, in 1947, he moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to work in a company that produced electronic…

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, or ASME, provides a code of ethics for mechanical engineers. This code can be analyzed and dissected to locate potential weaknesses and key statements within its framework while presenting possible improvements to fill any gaps. One potential weakness within the code relates to the definitions to various terms. These terms hold a great deal of subjectivity, which can muddy the overall effect of the canon. For example, the phrase, “enhancement of…

1. When did you start taking the program? What year are you in now? I joined the Engineering program my freshman year. I was invited to join the Space Program my Sophomore year because of my dedication and technical skills. I have completed one year of the Space Program, and look forward to two more years in the program. 2. What have you gotten out of the program? I have learned real life skills in the program. It has taught me to work independently, and it has taught me to…

Ever since I was a child, I’ve aspired to be many things. I’ve gone from dreaming of becoming a NFL player, a lawyer, a doctor, to most recently, a biomedical engineer. Due to having many lifetime goals, one would say I’m an ambitious person. Having a passion for a wide array of activities is an identity that defines me in an essential way. Although many people only prefer either mathematics or writing, I’m one of the few that enjoys both subjects. This is why I participate in…

The term ethical engineering is problematic and faced by many professional engineers today. Questions, such as, “What should I do?”, “Is this morally correct?”, “Am I going to be responsible for these actions?”, etc. arise in many occasions. Volkswagen engineer, James Liang, was faced with these questions when he developed a device to “cheat” the national United States emissions tests, therefore making it seem that the Volkswagen was reputable, and it could be noted as a “clean diesel” vehicle…

Science And Technology In The 1940’s Have you ever wondered how technology and science got so advanced? Many different items that we use today started from something that may seem small, such as, medicine, cell phones, and even irregular things like guns and bombs. Linus Pauling once said, “Science is the search for truth. It is not a game in which one tries to beat others.” While not a game, it is fought like one. Scientists have developed weapons and strategies to progress their performance…

The modern world is full of new ideas and inventions. Our society as a whole, has advanced more in the last century than it has in any other time period. Brilliant minds have privileged us with easier, faster, and overall more efficient versions of everything. Due to advances in science, these have all been made possible. A particular brilliant mind, known as Fritz Haber, is responsible for the synthesis of ammonia through nitrogen fixation, chemical warfare, the Born-Haber cycle, and many other…
