Engineer

The construction industry is one of the high risk industry with more number of injuries and fatalities reported compared to other industries. The construction industry has also been performing poorly on health and safety of its employees. In New Zealand, the construction sector is the sixth largest sector which employs 180,000 people. The Construction Sector Action Plan of 2011 suggests that the construction industry in New Zealand had the highest rate of fatal injury making it almost thrice the…

In a design and build contract an initial contractor is employed by the client, then the contractor is responsible for overseeing both the design and construction phase of a project. The contractor would either have their own in house design team they would use or employ external consultants who would assist in the design phase. A novation agreement is sometimes used in a design and build contract, this is where the client employs consultants to produce their initial design then the same…

Kimberly Masi's presentation of Mechanical Engineering had to be the most interesting to me of all the speakers. It was so captivating that it made me think of doing some research on the major, yet I barely can picture myself doing a job like that in the future. Hearing about how she was a big part of projects at Disney World that we all have heard of, is just something that I really find amazing. O'Net's definition of Mechanical Engineering: perform engineering duties in planning and designing…

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 have a BA degree which can only be obtained in a four year university. A four year university is important in my path because every class gives me the units to earn my masters degree and eventually my doctorate. When students…

chance to work on a computer for the first time. He learned FORTRAN a book and read the manuals for most of the system of the day…” (Isaacson 206). This piece of evidence displays that Wozniak has been experienced and educated in being a mechanic and engineer. Also, in like manner to David, Isaacson talks about the leader, “I mean, he knew how to talk to a sales representatives. I could never have done that. I’m too shy” (Isaacson 214). This source makes it clear that that Jobs and Wozniak are…

This topic is not an unusual topic. In fact, this is a topic that will help me decide on what college I will go to and attend in my future. My topic is The Citadel military College of the South or its only other competitor Norwich University. It does not necessarily matter where I attend school because no matter where I go I will be enrolled in the ROTC program at either school. In this research paper the items that I will be talking about are things that I have learned from either being talked…

We live in a world sculpted by the work of technological professionals. As the significance of the choices made by engineers increases, it has become more and more important to ensure that these choices are ethical. Through analysis of Eric Katz’s ‘Nazi Engineers’, it is clear that technology is value laden and societies’ ethics ultimately determine the direction its technology goes. Katz writes this essay to educate his students about Nazi ethics so they can avoid their misguided moral…

This initial step led to another and another until I found myself on the path of becoming a biomedical engineer. The daily choices I make are motivated by this desire to help others. This created the foresight and resolution I have used to make life choices. Latin, for example has pushed my limits as no other subject has done before. It has never been my strongest…

be independent and never being dependent on someone’s else financially. She mentioned that an engineer should push himself to get promoted to the next level of work such as moving from industrial calculations to high level of inventions. She made me realize that there is no limit of learning and I have to get internships as soon as I can be well- known in the industry. As a chemical or process engineer, there is not much to say about communicating skills unless if there is a project that needs…
