Mechanical engineering

Statement of Purpose Applying for : Master 's in Industrial engineering for Fall 2011 When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, “As much as the living are to the dead” ,aptly defines the importance of education in deciding how successful a human will turn out to be irrespective of where he started from. Science has always been instrumental in easing the hardship of human existence throughout the history of mankind. With this fascination I took…

What specific job functions are involved with this field of engineering? Industrial engineers develop job evaluation programs, amongst other duties. Industrial engineers find ways to eliminate wastefulness in production processes. They devise efficient systems that integrate workers, machines, materials, information, and energy to make a product or provide a service. What type of environment does this engineer usually work in? Industrial Engineers work in many different environments. Some can…

The name says it all about the university. Named after Andrew Carnegie and Mellon, I believe that Carnegie Mellon has all the tools to help me succeed. My love of science and engineering began when I was a child. Growing up, science and math were always my forte. In school, I was always fascinated by science experiments, and seeing chemical reactions. As a child, science almost seemed like magic. What really makes me love mathematics is how some problems are like puzzles. Each individual problem…

I’ve chosen engineering as my career path because I believe that, in the sort of society we are becoming with technology being so important, that engineering will be one of the most important professions. I feel the field of engineering is fundamental to the technological advancements as a society. The second and main reason I chose engineering as my career path is that ever since I was a young kid I was always fascinated with math and how things work using calculations. The third and final…

Not only did we want to express our hobbies, but we wanted to show other students engineering is much more than numbers and figures--engineering is an art, not just a boring day job. The goal of the Makerspace is to provide a space where people can develop an interest in STEM through their own creativity and experiences. The Makerspace provides tools, equipment…

Mission The SMV engine and dynamometer team consists of eight senior mechanical and industrial engineering students dedicated to maximizing the efficiency of the motor. These students have extensive knowledge in the areas of machining and engine tuning and safety optimization which enabled them to harness the full potential of this year’s motor. This report outlines the design of the engine team during Fall 2017 SMV vehicle. Introduction and Background: The engine and dynamometer team goal was…

• To be a mechanical engineer one has to learn various system components, from computer programming to power systems, and cover technical subjects, such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and hydraulics. They also need to gain a basic understanding of civil, electrical, and chemical engineering. A solid foundation in study techniques and technological applications is needed to identify problems and then come up with effective ways to talk about them. The best mechanical engineers challenge…

two 1‑inch‑diameter torsion springs made of nylon rope will be capable of propelling a golf ball at least 200 feet. To accomplish this task, we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the projectile range equation. Our model of the mechanical system consists of the two arms, sling, and projectile, with applied torques at the base of each arm representing the torsion springs. The two principal forms of energy relevant to this problem are kinetic energy, the energy associated with…

Senior Brag Sheet Career Choice: I plan to double major in mechanical engineering and finance, but still face some uncertainty in this plan. My interests developed mainly from the push of my parents. Ever since I was a child, the overarching career I was pushed towards was engineer or doctor, so I pushed myself to learn topics that would better support these ideas. Classes such as Scitech gave me an understanding of what engineers do which provided me with a great deal of interest. Other clubs…
