My journey with 'Team Bolt' to reach the finals of the competition 'F1 in schools' has been a significant event which truly led me to emerge as an adult. F1 in Schools' is a global multi-disciplinary challenge in which teams of students deploy CAD/CAM software to collaborate, design, analyze, manufacture, test, and then race miniature compressed air powered balsa wood F1 cars. My school chose me as one of the few for the team. This competition was different from any other we had participated in,…

Robotics has, for the vast majority of my life, been a topic of strong personal interest. Being welcomed onto the Ryerson Rams Robotics (R3) team has been a very special opportunity for me. As a member of the science team, I have had the chance to apply the knowledge I have gained during even the early stages of my undergraduate career to solve the problems associated with the science tasks of the University Rover Challenge (URC). Ultimately, the URC science task is to determine the capacity for…

With a little help from my parents, I assembled a small wooden catapult for my sixth grade science class. Complete with rubber bands, wooden pegs, pen markings, and varnish, I labored away at it with perfection in mind. At that moment, I realized what I built was not just another school project, it was a work of art. I discovered a certain aspect of creativity, design, and art is required in a person in order to be a good engineer. By the time I became a teenager, I assembled a rather…

Easy pediatric nasal intubation Abstract: Background: Pediatric anesthesiologists use Magill forceps commonly during nasotracheal intubation but often have difficultly during advancing the nasotracheal tube into the trachea, differences in pediatric airway structure relative to adults are thought to be the reason of this problem. The modified pediatric Magill forceps (modified by Farrukh and his colleagues) added anteroposterior firm grasping of the nasotracheal tube enables us for…

Trade qualified, results-driven and safety focused, I am actively pursuing a career opportunity in the construction and/or mining resources industry where I can utilise my extensive experience in the capacity of Welder and Boilermaker. Capable of working autonomously and as part of a team, I possess strong communication and problems solving skills with a hands-on approach and the ability to work in remote areas and challenging conditions. Competent in all aspects of boilermaking, welding and…

Hi Juhani Pallasmaa, I’ve heard that you felt in this era that our innate capacities of imagination are becoming impoverished. In my opinion, I think that our imagination is still growing and will continue to advance in the future. One of the structures that I think truly represents artistic beauty is the Royal Ontario Museum. The Royal Ontario Museum is one of the many gemstones in downtown Toronto. The building features countless amount of collections from the past and it is one of the most…

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…

My field of study will be electrical engineering which will give me the skills to help create numerous advancements in society and help other people. Engineering in general is an essential part of American culture due to how it is involved with creating everything used in the world. Each aspect of any sort of building, technology, and process is designed and improved upon by engineers to create a more efficient system and solve many of the world’s problems. To have any degree in engineering is…

I am fascinated with biomedical Engineering as this field seems to close gap between medicine and engineering as well as uniquely combining research and practical work I believe that a biomedical engineering practitioner can have a profound influence over our healthcare system, tailoring basic physical principles to commensurate the complicated design of the human body. My desire to increase my scientific knowledge has motivated me to study foundation Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, which…

It is my pleasure to take this opportunity and heartily recommend John Erlinger for the position of scientist for the EMBL-ESRF Beamline I23-2 upgrade at the ESRF. Darren’s efforts with Beamline 9.2.2 of the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology at the Advanced Light Source were instrumental in the success of our program and make him richly qualified for such a position. The positive impact of his work at 4.2.2 is still appreciated on a daily basis. He has a demonstrated record in developing…
