Career Research Paper Throughout adolescence, children are asked ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’, and there is always a wide variety of answers, such as a police officer, a professional athlete, an astronaut. One of the conveniences of being a child is not having to worry about a mortgage, a car, and a responsibility to put food on the table. As we grow older, we get a dose of reality, we begin to worry about more aspects to a career than the childish principles of it sounding…
Introduction The ride comfort concept sweeps over many disciplines in automotive engineering. The vehicle parameters such as suspension spring stiffness and damping coefficient, the temperature control inside the cabin, the ergonomics of the car and many other factors contribute to this quality. When vehicles travel on the irregular roads, they are always subjected to excitation from braking, acceleration and inertial forces on a curved track, which causes discomfort to the driver. The…
Agricultural and biological engineering are a very misunderstood concept. People around the world refuse to take the time to slow down and decipher just how important agricultural and biological engineering is to the progressing world. Many individuals do not take into consideration what the true meaning of agricultural and biological engineering is. Typically, it is confused with biomedical engineering, which is the tissue and prosthetic side. Many think that biological engineering is broad…
Growing up in rural Ghana, my school days were often interrupted with frequent blackouts. I grew tired of missing school and wanted to be an “electricity superwoman” who solved energy problems. I noticed that anytime the electricity had to be turned on, a male engineer showed up. I did not personally know any female engineers, and there was a common belief in my school that men were more competent in STEM fields. Whenever I told my friends and teachers about pursuing an education that would…
VOLKSWAGEN: Engineering Fraud for Favorable Fallout Codes of ethics provide the moral responsibilities of an engineer’s duty as seen by the relative profession and as a representation of the professional society. These codes are extremely important because they keep responsibility within the perimeter or good morals and reveal the importance of the engineers’ responsibility when working on projects considering they can consequently directly and indirectly effect the engineers themselves,…
of the body system. However, there was another class I found even more fun and intriguing than biology: engineering. I also was enrolled in “Introduction to Technological Education” during my freshman year. The class focused a lot on problem-solving with different situations. One of these projects was an egg-catching mobile that was powered by a mousetrap. The task was to design a vehicle that traveled 10 feet, and upon…
Our city is located in the scenic region of Hawaii, where the beautiful weather and nice sunsets are located. The climate in our city includes a sunny region, which is from the volcanoes and oceanic surrounding, and mountainous region which is Mauna Kea. What makes the climate favorable is that our climate is always sunny with controlled weather, nice ocean view, also in favor of those mountain climbers who want a vacation at Mauna Kea. What makes the geography favorable in our city is that it…
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…
In this essay I will be identifying three examples of bad human designs, describe why they are problematic and provide my own recommendations for correcting each particular problem. Human Factors and engineering psychologist study how people interact with machines and technology. As I read about human factor designs, the American Psychological Association (2015) informed me that "they use psychological science to guide the design of products, systems and devices we use everyday while often…
