Fields of engineering

Science is a very important part in everybody's lives. Innovations in science have completely changed the way we live. I would like to be a part of these changes by working with either nuclear power or possibly astronautical engineering.I've always been fascinated by space and just recently I've learned about nuclear fusion. Both of these are great ways to change the world. I've always loved to learn about science. In elementary school and middle school, science was always my favorite class.…

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 important discoveries in the modern field of chemistry. Fritz Haber was born on December 9, 1868, into a prosperous Jewish family. He was the son of first cousins Siegfried and Paula Haber. Siegfried was a well-known merchant who founded his own company selling pharmaceuticals, dye…

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…

1. When did you start taking the program? What year are you in now? I joined the Engineering program my freshman year. I was invited to join the Space Program my Sophomore year because of my dedication and technical skills. I have completed one year of the Space Program, and look forward to two more years in the program. 2. What have you gotten out of the program? I have learned real life skills in the program. It has taught me to work independently, and it has taught me to…

The 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…

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…

Engineering is the branch of science and technology involved with the design, and building, and use of engines, machines, and structures. As long as I can remember, which was since I was seven years old, I had always felt a passion for doing something in designing and building imaginary cars, ships, and planes. But now that I have come to an age where I have to choose a career and go forth in life will be tough, but one thing is for sure, I will be an Engineer. The first engineering career that…

Being a hardware engineer is fun and exciting work for people interested in this job or field. Hardware engineering nowadays is growing because of the use of computers in everything. We use computers in, cars, boats, planes, medical equipment, and much more. If we use these things that field is going to grow bigger and bigger, and it is creating more jobs for people that need them. Some things that a hardware engineer do are, design important blueprints, analyze data from the test that they…

the University that several of my good friends attend, is that I wish to participate in the Aerospace Engineering program—for which there is no comparable program at VCU. Thus far, commuting to VCU and taking engineering, mathematics and physics courses related to my intended major(s) of Mechanical Engineering and Physics has been exhilarating, and has helped to solidify my interest in engineering. I have had wonderful experiences at VCU, such as crafting a coil gun and undertaking a University…

1.2. Cones Speaker cones vary in size and shape as well as the material they are made of. They range from original Rice and Kellog design-paper cone, through Kevlar and carbon fibre, metal (aluminium) and a variety of composites, each manufacturer employing different materials suited to providing the best efficiency and linearity. First of all they wanted to achieve manufacturing consistency since wood is not a homogenous substance and tends to vary from one form of timber to another, even…
