SNOMED, the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine, illustrates an all-inclusive default and validated medical terminology and concept terms for several different classifications which are arranged into nineteen hierarchies. The vocabulary promotes future advancements and supports evidence-based care (IHTSDO, 2016b). It also derives and processes these codes electronically to represent specific terms and concepts (Benson, 2012; Shortliffe & Cimino, 2014a). There were several predecessors before SNOMED CT, the current ontology version, that is utilized today. First came Systemized Nomenclature of Pathology (SNOP) created by pathologists, then SNOMED, and finally SNOMED CT. SNOMED CT evolved from merging Great Britain’s Real Clinical Terms with SNOMED in 1999. However, the merger was not finished until 2002. From 2007, the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization (IHTSDO) has complete ownership over SNOMED CT (Shortliffe & Barnett, 2014; IHTSDO, 2016a). The International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization (IHTSDO) is a not-for-profit organization (NIH.gov, 2016b). SNOMED CT is vital in the medical field because the patients, the clinicians and the population on a whole benefit from its usage. There is better communication if this ontology is used within Electronic Health Records (EHRs) amongst all entities involved and information and support are provided in real time. According to (IHTSDO, 2016d), individuals gain from the usage of…

Engineering work touches on all aspects of everyday life. For this reason engineers are held to a high moral standard. This sense of responsibility and morality should be instilled in engineers from their formation. Gerald McLean focuses on the formative nature of engineering student's ethical instruction in his article, "Integrating Ethics and Design". McLean's purpose for writing this article is to convince the reader that the study of ethics should be integrated in engineering students'…

As a Freshman at Jones College Prep, one of the top three most prestigious high schools in the state; I was part of the Career and Technical Education Program. This allowed me the opportunity to choose between the Engineering and Pre- Law programs provided at my school. My interest in math and science pushed me to pursue a path in Engineering. Knowing that I will be able to positively impact someone’s life through this career made it all the more compelling. The “Introduction to Engineering”…

Being a nuclear mechanic supervisor on a submarine in the United States Navy is a very challenging position. This is a very important role to the efficiency and success of the Engineering department. The nuclear mechanic supervisor must be very proficient in planning, organizing, directing, and training. These skills are crucial to ensuring the division runs as efficiently as possible which, in turn, leads to the success and efficiency of the overall Engineering department. It is important to…

The advocacy of the ASME is to promote the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe thru education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other form of outreach. One of ASME goals is to provide advice to government officials at any kind of levels on engineering and technology matters and policies affecting the public interest and to make them understand…

The value in setting goals is finding the courage and commitment to achieve them. I have dedicated countless hours to my challenging coursework in hopes of achieving my goal of earning a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering. Hundreds of other hours have been put into church and clubs that I hope I will continue to participate in. Especially, since those programs helped me grow as a person while helping others. I push myself to work to my best in hopes that; ultimately, I will find a satisfying and…

Engineering is the field of sciences where applications of scientific subjects are used both theoretically and physically in order to innovate, design and construct new things for the betterment of the world. Engineering has been around since the 3rd century playing its role for the revolution of mankind and unlocking new doors to explore more. Technology’s main core element is engineering itself. Over the centuries that has passed through, the technologies that are invented are impacting in the…

Main Article Summary 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…

I would like to attend the 2016 STEM summer camp because I am serious about 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…

more excited and aware of scientific, mathematic, and engineering needs in the real world that are all around me now AND WILL BE in the future. Also, this program has changed my attitude toward science by associating some of the hardest concepts for me to understand with something that I can easily understand, and now I appreciate science much more. Likewise, Hockey Scholar has changed my attitude toward engineering and math. Now, in the future, my change in attitude toward STEM (science,…
