Electronic engineering

It begins with only a subtle murmur, yet this faint inclination proceeds unceasingly to a deepset rumble from over the hillside- its enthralling(/captivating?), knowing its coming, that anticipation of awe. It comes now thundering into sight, a great steel workhorse of such immense magnitude- it convinces even the iron rails upon which it rides to sing and arc with stresses. It barges past, its mechanical heart pounding out a relentless beat, reverberating even the air within your throat- as it…

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 into the University of South Carolina to study Chemical Engineering. Outside of school, William enjoys hunting, golf, scuba diving, fishing and attending athletic events. I asked William about the…

Paradoxically, I love working with my hands and being a ranch hand. My experiences growing up define me, and that is the same for everyone else. Skillsets, interests, and capabilities stem from experiences. As an intern, I was exposed to the engineering details and project management of building…

My Future Plans Can you imagine a world without engineering? What would it be like to wake up one morning where technology no longer exists? This question got me thinking about where everything started; which brought me to the conclusion that all started with an idea that someone physically developed. That concept of transforming ideas into blueprints that can be achieved inspired me to choose the field of engineering. Through research, I learned that in order to become an engineer I have to…

Last night I had the opportunity to attend the ASME meeting. This was my first professional society meeting, and I was sure glad I attended it. This meeting really opened my eyes, it showed me all of the cool opportunities/ events throughout the year, and it showed me the importance of involvement. The American Society Of Mechanical Engineers group offers a variety of events throughout the year, in order to get their group members involved. Before this meeting I was not aware of the…

In the past mechanics didn’t have to have an education to work on cars, they just learned as they went on. Now in modern days to become a mechanic, you must a have high school diploma. During high school, you need to take the following courses: Electronic, Mathematics, and English. You need to have knowledge about working on cars, and a valid certification from the trade school. You must be willing to observe safety, have good commutation skills, have good customer service skills, and…

True Vocation: Cars The design and smoothness of the engine and overall ride will always fascinate me. Cars has been a part of my life since the earliest memory I can think of. Since I was, young cars have been something I wanted to do and spend more time on. My grandfather has taught me mostly everything I know about cars and how they work. My true vocation is building and fixing cars because I appreciate the challenges, value the problem solving aspects, and enjoy the experiences. Building…

class for free each quarter and was able to transfer his free class to me. This opportunity has allowed me to take aerospace classes that have taught me skills that are applicable in industry. I took a systems engineering class and an orbital mechanics class. In the systems engineering class, I learned the role of the systems engineer is to plan out the logistics of the spacecraft and take into account all the specificities that come with building and designing a spacecraft based on its…

As the first speakers started off with today’s presentations, I was really intrigued and fascinated by the Industrial Engineers, Justin Melmick and Zac Stachowiak, as they talked about their job at Universal Studios and I’m pretty sure everybody else was too. Although it started off well, it did not exactly end off too interesting, since I think Dr. Damla Turgut and Dr. Alain Kassab’s presentation seemed kind of dull. I kind of felt like I zoned out during their presentations because I did not…
