“Many people dreams to be an engineer, but how many people get to live that dream?, Yes, I consider myself lucky to fulfill my dream to be an engineer,” said Martin Nolan, who is an Energy and Mechanical Engineer at Genesys Engineering P.C Company. He has been working for this company since March 2014 for 2 years and 7 months. Martin is also a project manager in Haiti Hydroelectric Project, Rotary International . He has been working in this project since May 2010 for 6 years. Martin was full of…
RK Mechanical is a private company based in Colorado, it is one of the best performing in the industrial sector, and it was started by Ron Kinning back in 1963. The company has managed to expand from a small business to a large business employing over 1000 employees with an impressive turnover. It deals with providing services, steel, and in the energy sector. The headquarters is located in Denver, Colorado, with another facility opened in Henderson, Colorado. The firm has recorded stellar…
feature of the technological advances was the eight-legged beast called The Mechanical Hound (otherwise known as The Hound). The Mechanical Hound was a beast of extraordinary technological prowess, and Bradbury certainly projected that in a negative way. The creature had been used to track, find and kill those who had books in their possession with its ability to lock onto a person or animal’s complex…
As the first speakers started off with today’s presentations, I was really intrigued and fascinated by the Industrial Engineers, Justin Melmick and Zac Stachowiak, as they talked about their job at Universal Studios and I’m pretty sure everybody else was too. Although it started off well, it did not exactly end off too interesting, since I think Dr. Damla Turgut and Dr. Alain Kassab’s presentation seemed kind of dull. I kind of felt like I zoned out during their presentations because I did not…
Career Narrative Automotive, It took me awhile to chose this career and i have no regrets choosing it.. I’m specializing in collision repair, If your asking what is that? let me explain. Collision repair involves many steps we fix cars that has been in accidents and help restore it to the original shape as best as we can. If someone got into a little accident on the road to your daily commute we help fix that and work with the insurance to fix your car. Automotive was my first choice as a…
The authors of this study are a group of presumably instensivists physicians who are practicing in France. Their aim for this parallel, multihospital, randomized study was to evaluate if mechanical prophylaxis is efficient in patients who are at high risk for bleeding and are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The results of this study (n=407) showed that there is no evidence that the incidence of developing deep venous thrombosis (DVT) decreases if a patient has intermittent pneumatic…
The article I chose alluded the implications of Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) and other similar platforms. AMT's goal is to "break jobs into smaller tasks and offer them to people across the globe" (Inside Amazon's clickworker platform, Reese and Heath). Conversely, Hope Reese and Nick Heath attempt to challenge the intent behind AMT. In the title of their article, Reese and Heath ask the following question: Does AMT and its' peers " democratize work or exploit the disempowered?" The article…
My decision to pursue a career in mechanical engineering came, not as an epiphany, but as an evolutionary process. I realized that engineering with a focus on efficient transportation was the heart of my home country’s economy, Thailand. Automobiles became a point of interest for me. I would spend almost every weekend at an automobile repair shop near my home. I would help the mechanics in doing their job, and as my skills developed, I came to understand the role of the engineer - to design…
• 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…
electrical control systems, and integrating them into hydraulic solutions to be implemented on a mobile crane. He attended the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) to study engineering. He first started in Electrical Engineering, but finishes in Mechanical. He became interested in his career field his senior year when a speaker came into his pre calculus class, at Brainerd High School, and talked about how engineering used both math, and science, which are Zach’s favorite subjects. Zach grew up…
