Fields of engineering

Take a look around the room and at all the items that surround you. What do you see? Probably some chairs, or maybe even some books or probably even a television. Engineers have shaped our world as we know it. An engineer helped make all of these everyday items. Engineers solve practical problems by applying mathematical and scientific knowledge. The word engineer comes from a Latin word meaning ‘cleverness’. The actual definition of an engineer is “A term applied to the profession in which a…

any connections over the years, they would probably say dozens. An engineer to that stature would have a ton of relationships in their field that have helped them become the engineer that they are today. Having a relationship with your peers allows for team cohesiveness, social aspects, and personal support. Everyone makes mistakes, even in the field of engineering, so it is important to have a support system of people around you, helping you achieve your goal and picking you up when you might…

As briefly stated, during the past 5 years, I first started as an FEA and stress analysis responsible for design and engineering of the de-oiling units, but soon I got promoted to a senior mechanical engineer that became involved in different aspects of project execution, such as clients relationship, fabrication supervision, quality control, R&D and commissioning/start up support. In the last two years, due to the financial turmoil in the oil and gas market, I have been involved in budgeting…

Becoming a historian or a writer would be silly since I am good at math and science and it’s something I like. Engineering would allow me to enjoy my work, which is important because, with any luck, I will be working for decades. I don’t want to have to drag myself out of bed every morning and do something I hate. Solving problems and reaching goals gives me great satisfaction. I work better when I have something to work towards and a definite answer. Either my solution will work or it won’t.…

“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…

Statement of Purpose I am a senior at Wichita State University studying Biomedical Engineering. I expect to graduate in May of 2018 with magna cum laude distinction. As an undergraduate, I have the opportunity to tutor underclassmen in physics. Eventually, I became an undergraduate teaching assistant as well. Both of these made me realize how much I enjoy helping students learn, which made me think about pursuing graduate education to become a college professor. Assisting in a biomechanics lab…

STEM. Since the age of five it has been enjoyable for me to build, invent, and solve problems. All of these things have contributed to my love of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. I wish to become an engineer when I grow up and go to M.I.T. I believe that this camp will open my eyes to the different types of engineering opportunities. I am very excited about STEM and going to your summer camp will continue my excitement and enhance my scientific knowledge. I am currently in my…

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…

Encouraging young women to enroll in engineering programs prompts the concern of how to maintain female involvement, especially when the material becomes increasingly challenging. Researchers for The American Association of University Women, pursued the question of why so few women are involved in science, math, engineering, and mathematics, and concluded in their 2010 publication, “Students who lack confidence in their math or science skills are less likely to engage in tasks that require those…

dream to be part of a team that would pioneer in rehabilitation engineering. Ever since I had discovered my passion in biomedical engineering, I wanted to extend my skills into helping physically challenged or differently abled people by creating assist devices for them. My final year project was also based on developing such an assist device. Of the years spent in studying the course, I believe I have a liking to rehabilitation engineering and robotics. motivation letter Biomedical…
