Be that as it may, there are still many career fields in which women are underrepresented. Evidence of the aforementioned disproportionate representation is clearly evident in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. As a STEM woman, this confounded me. What factors contributed to the lack of strong female presence-- a phenomenon which I considered an anomaly. Were there any recognized biological differences which made men more capable of…

Gender Gap in Engineering Engineering has always been considered an exceptional major throughout the history. It combines various human characteristics and brings out their scientific and leadership skills. It is one of the few majors that are known for their intellectual challenges and tough problem solving situations. However, with all the scientific and technological advancements in the field of engineering, the controversy of whether or not females can work in this field and handle all its…

In the times when Construction giants are burgeoning worldwide, I chose Structural Engineering for a simple reason - It is what I have always desired to do.

I am still full of the urge to reach my full potential, as a consequence, I want to step the next step. Consequently, I am honored to apply…

“Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (e.g. chemistry and physics) and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) together with mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy (Cohen, 1996).” The field of chemical engineering is very diverse, covering areas from biotechnology to mineral processing. It would take too long to list all the products that are impacted by chemical…

their time. Also, Brown also notes that a survey was conducted by Autodesk in the year twenty twelve and found that “nearly 70 percent of respondents said their companies are involved on projects that reduce energy or emissions or that comply with environmental standards and regulations. This proves that most engineers are participating in keeping the world safe in pollution and other factors that are known to cause damage to Earth. Although these professionals often combat the demanding…

Systems Engineering for four years back in Russia and just recently graduated in Finance and Investments from Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business they are pleasantly astonished.

But my natural analytical skills and a strong interest in math made me pursue engineering degree.…

Engineering is a practice that relies very heavily on the virtues of the engineer whether they are professional or not. Virtue is the behavior of showing high moral standards, which is critical for when engineers are faced with tough decisions on how to proceed with distasteful situations such as the Challenger. Before I dive into the virtues I believe are important for my career path, I must first explain what virtue means. Aristotle has a widely known definition of this theory which is why I…

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,…

Building a Reputation with a Graveyard Since its creation as a college in 1903, Cal Poly has been a school well known for its prestigious Engineering and Agriculture degrees. Nowadays, however, Cal Poly has another major that people immediately think of when one mentions our school, Architecture.
