Fields of engineering

Discuss an experience that sparked your interest in this field. I was a young freshman, wandering the halls of Cambridge High School attempting to find my classes without being late. During my freshman year, I was enrolled in a fascinating science class; biology. I became amazed at everything that I learned about and how every body system was so intricate in its functioning. I also loved how different levels of organization affect upper levels of the body system. However, there was another…

1. Introduction Engineering affects all aspects of our lives, for instance, every building, object and machine that we use every day has been designed and built by engineers. Therefore the ethics and values of engineers have an important impact on society. There are many engineering challenges today. It was identified by the national science foundation that there are fourteen main engineering challenges. The challenge which is the focus of this report is access to clean water. We would expect…

I am going to attend a university to study aerospace engineering. Through my journey of being a student, I have always taken great interest in mathematics and science courses. Out of all my subjects, I have done best in the math and sciences. I want to take my skills and master them in college. Every day, there is a new gadget on the market. Many are pieces of junk but there are also many that are very helpful to society. I find the breakthroughs very intriguing. When embarking on an airplane,…

Like general ethics, engineering ethics also involves investigations into values, meaning and facts. These inquiries in the field of engineering ethics are of three types. 1. Normative Inquiries 2. Conceptual Inquiries 3. Factual or Descriptive Inquiries 2.4.1 Normative Inquiries These inquiries are mostly helpful to identify the…

criticizes the STEM program, citing the shortages of the program and implications of the policy on education and the workforce. His book excellently brings out a wealth of data and information, revealing the history of booms and bust in science and engineering employment. It as well outlines the shortages of STEM, as fault tool for lobbying for high skills and used to curb immigration. Even though the book presents great ideas in relation to challenges of investing in scientific research, it has…

My interest was piqued when I learned of the depth and breadth of Tufts’ engineering program. With the opportunity of earning credit for a civil engineering internship, multiple specialized research labs, and courses spanning public health engineering to the legal issues of engineering and environmental law, the engineering community on campus seemed unique to me in its values of extending engineering past the math and science learning aspects to community involvement and real-life applications.…

certain occupation. In male and female dominated occupations the salaries differ which relates to the concept of occupational segregation based on gender. This all becomes evident when looking at a male dominated profession, such as mechanical engineering with only 8.8% women, a female dominated profession, such as preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers with 97.2% women and a gender neutral occupation, such as postsecondary teachers with 50.2% women. There are a variety of factors that can…

UPenn’s College of Engineering is among the finest in the world. Penn is well known for it's programs such as the Penn Integrates Knowledge initiative and award-winning professors like Dr. Kumar, whose robotics research earned him induction to the National Academy of Engineers. All faculty members approach their subject matter with unmatched enthusiasm and vivacity, providing students an incomparable opportunity to master their content. But what attracts me the most is that the school does not…

of chemistry and to apply its attributes into our daily lives. I have always been deeply fascinated by chemistry and mathematics, and I am highly motivated to achieve my goals in these fields. Thus, I recognize that by studying at the University of Waterloo, a university that offers the most illustrious engineering and mathematics programs in the country, it will fulfill my desire for knowledge and develop a solid…
