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…
a) I interviewed Oscar Morales-Ponce for this paper. I chooses him because he has the same engineering major that I am interested in pursuing which is computer science. He is also passionate about what he does and has interesting projects that he worked on and that interested me greatly and inspire me to continue my studies as a computer science major. b) Dr. Oscar Morales Ponce started his education by getting his bachelor of science in applied mathematics and computers in the UNAM, a very…
My dad is a mechanical engineer, my uncle has Masters in Physics, but he is currently working as a banker now, and he handles 4-5 branches under him. My brother has computer engineering degree, and he is recently doing his masters in Computer Science. Finally, I have always wanted to make my career in a science or engineering field. My dad owned Submersible Pump factory in India, and instead of going to play outside with my friend, I loved being with my dad in his factory to see how things…
According to the author, less and less software engineers pursue professional engineer license, because Google does not value a college degree. But there is no original research or comprehensive report data to support the decline of professional engineering certification. What’s more, the author presents the definition of ‘engineer’ by U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) and ‘the Iron Ring’ of Canada, saying that only civic engineers are professional engineers who are recognized by…
degree, I plan to pursue an MBA to develop my skills in project management. I want to make an impact in people’s lives and because many aspects of our lives involve mechanical engineering, from housing to transportation, I want to pursue this major to build my technology company. Furthermore, because mechanical engineering is a very broad discipline, there will be many job opportunities that I can take, which gives me a bit of flexibility in terms…
conditions I might experience after graduation in my work as Chemical Engineer. Piyush Limbani is my cousin and is a Chemical Engineer working in his discourse community for over 3 years now. Piyush has a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering and is now in charge of designing and processing supply material something that I would be interested in doing. John Swales is well known linguist writer. Based on Swales’ “The Concept of Discourse Community”, a discourse community is…
possible to build these dreams in my head. Finally, I believe I have found a solution. Mechanical engineering seems to be the best route to make my dreams a reality. It definitely will not be easy though. I have to get the proper education and as well as make sure I can support myself while trying to get hired, and even find out if I could get a job as a mechanical engineer. What is a Mechanical Engineering ?…
has been a large increase in science, engineering, and technology in the workforce. Alabama has also seen the increase in jobs in those fields and is trying to set up its school systems to be stronger in the different areas. The state of Alabama believes that science, engineering, technology, and society are all interdependent and should be taught in a way that shows their connectedness. The position that they stand behind is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education…
to achieve success in all aspect of the organisation. Workplace skills branches off to technical and transferable skills. To build a self-competitive advantage it is crucial to possess both of the skills. Previous to my enrolment in the course Engineering Practise Preview 1, I had minimal understanding of the topic Workplace skills. My understanding…
“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don 't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer” (Ten Boom). Throughout years of mechanical engineering people have trusted their lives to mechanical engineers. Through hard work and perseverance mechanical engineers have made the world what it is today. It’s inspiring to wake up and think one day, I will create marvelous creations that will contribute and improve the world. My suitability for a career in…
