school, I had fostered an intense passion toward Mathematics particularly, as well as other natural science disciplines in general. Therefore, it had been my anticipation since then to select a career in the realm of STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); however, which exact career was still an uncertainty. My interest varied inconsistently throughout my early years in high school, as I initially wanted to become a pharmacist, and subsequently a high school math teacher.…
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…
experience with drafting when I entered this class. A search on “jobs requiring drafting” pulls up a lot of engineering jobs. There are also a lot of architectural jobs. After a little digging there are a few technical directing or technical design jobs. All of these jobs required an advanced knowledge of drafting. The technical directing and design jobs also required a few other things. The engineering and architectural jobs only required drafting skills, but I am sure it is slightly different…
Hence, I applied for the PhD program at the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Akron due to a number of renowned faculty members’ research works are concentrated in these areas of your university. I firmly believe that University of Akron is the best place where I can grab the opportunity of…
Gender Gap in Engineering Engineering has always been considered an exceptional major throughout the history. It combines various human characteristics and brings out their scientific and leadership skills. It is one of the few majors that are known for their intellectual challenges and tough problem solving situations. However, with all the scientific and technological advancements in the field of engineering, the controversy of whether or not females can work in this field and handle all its…
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…
order to maximize UV’s bacteria killing properties. The only safeguard that was installed was the automatic shut-off of the UV lights when the fridge door was to be opened. One of the engineers was concerned, but did not speak up due to the lack of knowledge on the…
Q1: Why do engineers follow a code of ethics? (~ 150 Words) It is crucial for engineers to follow a code of ethics in order to manage and maintain the their behaviour towards their profession, employer, employee, society and clients. Engineers follow a code of ethics because it provides them a precise definition of what they are required to do as an engineer in their profession. In addition, it gives them a clear outline of their responsibilities in terms of how they are expected to behave and…
period in my life, I am interested in engineering, computers and the subject of math. I believe that I can piece all of these interests together in my professional life to change and enhance the condition of people’s lives all around the world. My personal and academic goals mean a lot to me. I enjoy both my engineering and math classes in TABC at the same time I challenge myself to certain fitness goals. In the distant future, I am interested in engineering because of its practical use in our…
