Environmental engineering

My purpose for going to college is to attain my bachelor’s degree in engineering so that in the future I may procure a job in the engineering field. I also hope to later attain a master’s degree in engineering. Although, I do not yet know the specific field of engineering that I wish to reach for. I want to become an engineer because I love to analyze problems and look for possible solutions and then find the best one(s). In the future, I dream to not only solve challenging problems but to also…

Civil Engineering is a professional Engineering field that deals with the construction, design, and maintenance of the built structures. The Civil Engineering field is broken up into 5 specific field’s water resources, structural, geotechnical, environmental, and transportation. The projects that Civil Engineers work on may be for the public or private sector. Even though Civil Engineers may have their own specialties, they still collaborate on projects together with other Civil Engineers…

What makes a civil engineer different than any of the many other branches of engineering? Well it is certain that all branches of engineering must have a proficient understanding of math, science and technology in order to succeed (Georgia Tech, “What is Engineering”). Civil engineers however must be able to take the knowledge from these three areas and apply to create or enhance public works. A public work is nearly every type of transportation and transportation center, including space…

as the main energy source of ZEVs. The technology to mass-produce lighter, longer running and affordable batteries does not seem to exist yet. Therefore, many argue that the hard push for electric vehicles will only contribute towards increased environmental…

Communication Before entering this course, I was quite unsure as to what concentration of undergraduate studies to focus on. Specifically, it was to either choose between civil and environmental engineering major of studies. I was at a crossroads. Yet, I wanted to evaluate the career path more in depth to make a decision that will correlate to my values and lifestyle objectives. I began to experience some anxiety about the major courses and confusion as to which career provided the most…

locked up in the human imagination that need to become reality? These are questions that came to mind as a result of a recent lecture by Dr. Ray Stefani. Dr. Ray Stefani is a retired electrical engineer who taught Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Engineering Technology courses at Cal State Long Beach. He is a sports enthusiast who is very fond of watching the Olympics. Besides sports, Dr. Ray likes to travel and has been privileged to see many countries in the world. Also, he…

Laurie Taxiarchou she answered back to a couple of questions asked about being prepared and what it takes. She said “For petroleum engineers a bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering is preferred, but you can also get in with degrees in Mechanical engineering, Chemical engineering, Chemical engineering or Environmental engineering”. Classes required to become an engineer are algebra, trigonometry, calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics (www.bls.gov). Most of these classes you learn in high…

starts off by informing the reader what civil engineering is and how it came about. Without civil engineers the life we live today would not be the same. Although buildings and bridges are usually what comes to mind when thinking of civil engineering, civil engineers can design many things, from water systems, to space stations. This article informs the reader that there is various types of designs civil engineers can create. About Civil Engineering. (n.d.). Retrieved March 22, 2016, from…

Chemical Engineering While searching for a major and trying to figure out what to do with your life, it is likely that you will come across someone supporting more people in STEM careers. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics covers a very wide range of education and job opportunities. People who apply these disciplines in their careers are on the frontlines of American technological innovation. Chemical engineering is one of these STEM courses. In short, chemical engineers use…

The Changes of the World. Without engineering many things that we see today wouldn’t even exist. The history of engineering is an important part of the world, it shows how the early engineers thought and how they solved the problems they were having at the time with the technology they had back then. Engineering plays a huge role in today’s society, an engineer spends countless amounts of hours studying to design construct and test many different things. There are many different types of…
