After reading the chapter and the PowerPoint presentation, I would say that there was one man who was an extraordinary talent. He have created for us the electricity, light bulbs, and etc., and his name is Thomas Alva Edison and he saw a future and Edison left a remarkable impact on the American society and worldwide, he changed a lot of inventing this technology we have been for years now. Also, he was the first Americans to invent something which wasn’t done before. There are many things which…

The materials and apparatus used in this experiment were: a PC computer, IWX/214, LabScribe Software, SP-304 Spirometer, FH-300 Spirometer flow hear and plastic tubes. The regular set up of the apparatus and more details of the procedure can be found from the Lab Manual on laboratory # 10 respiration, which was used as a reference. After setting the computer software (LabScribe), and calibrating voltage to 22 L which was written in the spirometer black box, a test of the Spirometer was performed…

Inventions Throughout the discovery of electricity, the light bulb, and even the first airplane have all been important inventions to the world. When thinking about inventions they use curiosity, motivation, and creativity. Though what makes an invention is chance and necessity, they may happen by chance or on accident. In other cases, people may need an invention to solve a problem. When thinking about chance and necessity, they both play a huge role in the development of inventions. Chance is…

Why Hopkins? I knew this conversation well, but each time it was marginally varied. Today the aroma of popcorn wafted my way as I sat at a table in Target. “We are moving to Baltimore this summer,” my dad said. Thus began another relocation experience, one that continued to foster my diverse interests. Having the ability to pursue a wide range of subjects is important to me, and I need a college that would allow that. Because of its flexible curriculum, Johns Hopkins would be a place where I…

Aerospace engineering is a complex, rapidly changing field of engineering. The industry is one the most innovating field of engineering as it is pushing boundaries of technology as we know it; making us achieve almost the impossible. The design, structure and production of a machine that exceeds and breaks the decree and law of Mother Nature, is arguably the zenith of engineering in the world right now. This has been fascinating me for quite a long time, ever since I was at a tender age; I have…

Once he returned home he began drawing the plans for his electrical telegraph. His first model was composed of a wooden frame, which would hold an electromagnet, paper, and a marking pencil suspended from a pendulum. The pencil would mark on the paper as the electric circuit was opened and closed. What is now known today as Morse code is what Samuel Morse created when he used dots and dashes in his telegraph. To continue his experiments and research he needed financial support. Fortunately,…

This paper examines the effects of sociological imagination, agency, and structure on my decision to select electrical engineering as my current major. Agency primarily focuses on my habits as an individual as well as my thought process toward mathematical and scientific issues presented to me. Structure focuses on the resources and techniques provided to me by society to aid in my judgement. Around the age of ten, I noticed that I developed habits that did not correlate to people who went on…

What put Carnegie Mellon on my radar is the fact that it is ranked among the top computer science programs in the country. I am applying because I want to be at a school where everyone is as driven and as focused as me. Students at Carnegie Mellon get to start focusing on their careers during their freshman year. I know that I want a career in computer science or engineering, so the fact that I would get to immediately take classes pertaining to my major attracts me. I am also fascinated by the…

What do your results tell you? Are there any relationships, patterns or trends in your results? From our [processed] results, we can conclude that the polystyrene cup served as the least effective conductor of heat, the tin mug coming in at a close second. The most effective material for heat conduction was the plastic mug. At the beginning of the tests, all of the water in the cup declined in temperature at a steady, even rate, but once one minute had passed, they had all started to cool down…

Ever since I was a little boy, I have had dreams about insane technological advancement that I never thought were possible. However, I’ve seen most of it come true and I am only 17 years old. Now as I progress my life, I would like to be a part of the community that is on the frontline of new cutting edge technology. Whether that be helping to develop it or be the one to keep it protected with the expanding field of cybersecurity. Even though my parents have not totally endorsed my love for…
