I can recall a time when I challenged myself to do tremendous work over the summer. That summer was this year, where I encouraged myself to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work at my parent’s nail salon to earn some cash, do my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was way too early for me). I was prompted to act because I recently found my…

science technicians. Science Technicians of both laboratory and school backgrounds deal with lots of strange chemicals and equipment every day, and of course they need to know how to get the best out of what they’re using. Although they are specially trained, some of their day to day activities may seem pretty mundane; measuring, sampling and testing chemicals. The chemicals may need to be tested to ensure they are what they say they are, or to see if they have degraded. The chemicals may need…

RGM Reflection My Rube Goldberg Machine is the PROTOTYPE-SR213. It accomplishes the simple task of lifting a cup. When I started brainstorming about the project, I wondered what I could do and how I could do it. When I finally came up with one idea, it was already time to make up two more ideas to pass the EDP. In the building stage, after I already chose what design I wanted to build, I made a bunch of changes. For one, I got rid of the part in the middle where a toy car rolled down a…

In Carolyn Miller’s article, What’s Practical about Technical Writing, she portrays techne as scientific, describing it as a productive means of reasoning that focuses on the practical construction and application of texts. She states that it is “both applicable and conceptualized,” combining theory and application together (22). It provides a framework by setting expectations for a given product, but also dictates the actual portrayal of a product. She refers back to Aristotle’s use of the…

Brusso Love the new world of technology? The world around is changing everyday like it or not. This is because of technology and its advancements. Along with the advancements of technology comes mistakes, bad parts, and unsafe compound devices. More electronic repairers will be required to keep up the pace of faulty technology. With malfunctioning technology, electronic repairers may face a busy schedule with a full time job, but gets the satisfaction of helping others with everyday problems…

The modern world is full of new ideas and inventions. Our society as a whole, has advanced more in the last century than it has in any other time period. Brilliant minds have privileged us with easier, faster, and overall more efficient versions of everything. Due to advances in science, these have all been made possible. A particular brilliant mind, known as Fritz Haber, is responsible for the synthesis of ammonia through nitrogen fixation, chemical warfare, the Born-Haber cycle, and many other…

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, or ASME, provides a code of ethics for mechanical engineers. This code can be analyzed and dissected to locate potential weaknesses and key statements within its framework while presenting possible improvements to fill any gaps. One potential weakness within the code relates to the definitions to various terms. These terms hold a great deal of subjectivity, which can muddy the overall effect of the canon. For example, the phrase, “enhancement of…

Science And Technology In The 1940’s Have you ever wondered how technology and science got so advanced? Many different items that we use today started from something that may seem small, such as, medicine, cell phones, and even irregular things like guns and bombs. Linus Pauling once said, “Science is the search for truth. It is not a game in which one tries to beat others.” While not a game, it is fought like one. Scientists have developed weapons and strategies to progress their performance…

energy sources. I have always been interested in science and engineering, because they are the foundation to societal advancement. It is the future generation's responsibility to make a change and more towards a sustainable future, and I want to be a part of that change. I want to use my knowledge of physics and engineering to create something that pushes the limits of what is possible. Science is the ability to predict the future, but engineering is the ability to control the future, and I…
