While exploring potential career paths, I read the book “101 Things I Learned in Engineering School,” by John Kuprenas. In the author’s note, he stated engineers view the world as “fascinating, creative, challenging, collaborative, and unfailingly rewarding,” and suddenly I wanted to know more. As I continued reading, I was intrigued by the idea of using math and science, in combination with creativity, to produce something tangible that could potentially be used in someone's everyday life.…

Why I am a good fit for industrial maintenance is because I enjoy fixing machines and working with my hands, I also believe that industrial mechanics make a sensible median wage, and because being an industrial maintenance worker is a way I can enjoy my job. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed fixing things this career path is a perfect way for me to continue doing something I like by fixing machines. Industrial maintenance fits my lifestyle, and how I enjoy working on machines and figuring…

Master industrial electricians are considered to have the highest skill level, training and experience of all industrial electricians. Working as an industrial electrician requires precision and attention to detail. As a result, the road to becoming a master industrial electrician is a long and tedious one. Candidates are expected to go through a series of trainings as well pass a number of certifications and exams. If you are ready for the task, there are a few steps you need to take in order…

I believe that I should be chosen to attend SUMMET because I am passionate about engineering and technology. I first fell in love with technology and engineering when I was 14. After my robotics team fell apart, I was invited to participate in a robotic team of five members in a rural community forty-five miles from my home. I struggled to find people who shared my passion at a school with 100 high school students. In this new team, I found my future, but I also found struggles. After attending…

“From the dawn of mankind, metals have fascinated man in many ways. From simple items found in the fire to advances in forming metals into trinkets, jewels, to weapons.” (A History of Welding). Welding is a profession that has been around since the dawn of the use of metals. The art of welding has changed the way we make things, and how we are able to build massive structures that stand taller than mountains. Well, this art form is called welding, and I believe it would suit me very well as a…

Over the course of my high school career I spent countless hours working in the Engineering Department of my school. At least half of the many hours that I spent in these classes I was working with a group to complete various projects and tasks assigned by our teacher. I can recall a project, in my Principles of Engineering class, where we had to design a self-propelled car. In this project my partner and I were presented with various design challenges; one of these such challenges stated that…

There are many jobs that people love and that are very successful and productive at the jobs. The profession I chose was being a industrial production manager. Industrial production managers have to organize things with in the business. They also have to plan things out like when the production is going to come out. And finally they have to estimate and negotiate and agree on budgets. A individual that would like to continue his or hers career as a industrial production manager would want to go…

My purpose for going to college is to attain my bachelor’s degree in engineering so that in the future I may procure a job in the engineering field. I also hope to later attain a master’s degree in engineering. Although, I do not yet know the specific field of engineering that I wish to reach for. I want to become an engineer because I love to analyze problems and look for possible solutions and then find the best one(s). In the future, I dream to not only solve challenging problems but to also…

I choose welding because this is a passion for what i love to do. welding takes a lot of work and skills to do what the job is capable of doing. A lot of people say welding is such an easy thing to go to school for because they think you have to do melt things together, but its actually pretty difficult to weld things together. the longer you go to school the more of the chance you will be more likely to succeed and find a better job and end up starting your own welding business and have other…

• 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…
