Electrical engineering

I am going to attend a university to study aerospace engineering. Through my journey of being a student, I have always taken great interest in mathematics and science courses. Out of all my subjects, I have done best in the math and sciences. I want to take my skills and master them in college. Every day, there is a new gadget on the market. Many are pieces of junk but there are also many that are very helpful to society. I find the breakthroughs very intriguing. When embarking on an airplane,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

was the Pony Express. There were some electrical communications, but they were either too slow or too complicated. Railroads were helping expand the country quickly, they were connecting cities to each other, but there needed to be some form of communication to pass messages throughout America. That is what Samuel Morse and his new system of telegraphy successfully achieved. In the early 1800’s, all of the required parts that were needed to build an electrical communication system had been…

In managing a network problems with the network are to be expected and planned for when and where possible. Many of these plans created to deal with problems cover what to do if a part of the system is attacked or compromised along with what to do in the event of a natural disaster. This does not mean everything is covered as some problems are deem unlikely or a minor enough event that it should not be a problem to deal with. One potential problem that can find itself label in such a way are…

Every vehicle has a number of electrical instruments. Each one varies due to the certain make and model of the vehicle with the different variations on the particular vehicle. Take a truck for instant it has a speedometer, tachometer, and transmission temperature gauge. Due to the fact that it will be towing a heavy object and be putting stress on the motor, so it doesn’t get too hot the gauge is there to protect it. Now on a sport car your two main instruments will be the speedometer and the…
