Nuclear engineering

Nuclear engineering is a very beneficial career. You are in a position to help the world move forward as a whole. Nuclear engineers help pave the way to the future with, new medicines and new inventions, but the job isn't for everyone, with their use of math and science they learned in college it can take a toll on someone not up for the task, other than that the job is like most others you are in an office but get paid fairly well . With the use of math and many other sciences this might not be a career for everyone. This is mostly office work but sometimes you could be traveling to power plants. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Nuclear engineering is a leader in new medicines and treatments. The CT scan is one of the many advances in…

The formula for this weapon was created by the popular scientist Albert Einstein. This weapons create massive destruction that can destroy a country. Like what happen in World War 2, albert Einstein told the president to create a nuclear weapon because he was afraid that Germany was creating one. When japan attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor killing many American soldiers. The United States tried to test this powerful weapons so everyone could see how powerful the U.S. was. United States…

The term “nuclear engineering” often denotes connotation of war derived from the use of atomic bombs at the end of World War Two. Wartime often heavily influences the intention of research and World War Two was no different. Although, outside of war, nuclear engineering’s emphasis is as a source of power. With the turn of the 21st century, realization of increasing energy demands, awareness of the importance of energy security, and concerns about global warming have surfaced. With such…

An effective leader creates good communication methods across divisions. Example from case study: a. Starting with the AECL engineers being late with the designs by a year and a half. Once CANEC and project management received the “field ready engineering designs,” the case mentions that the designs were equivalent to sketches. CANEC and AECL had weak communication skills particularly with the engineering designs. The designs were not detailed and confusing. The CEO should’ve been controlling…

Engineering Disasters One of the most famous engineers was Thomas Edison who famously stated that “ [he had] not failed, [he had discovered] 10,000 ways that did not work”. Despite Edison’s numerous failures, he eventually perfected his version of the light bulb, got it patented and proceeded to make his invention available to consumers. Edison’s approach illustrates the engineer’s ideal process, as he repeatedly tests and perfects the design of the desired result before releasing the result to…

But his superior, takes this as a minor mistake and orders that the faulty part to be adjusted so that the delay in the process has to be avoided. But the inspector doesn’t want this and so he is threatened by the supervisor. 2. An electronic company applies for a permit to start a Nuclear Power Plant. When the licensing authority comes for visit, they enquire the company authorities on the emergency measures that have been established for safety of the surroundings. The engineers inform them…

Science is a very important part in everybody's lives. Innovations in science have completely changed the way we live. I would like to be a part of these changes by working with either nuclear power or possibly astronautical engineering.I've always been fascinated by space and just recently I've learned about nuclear fusion. Both of these are great ways to change the world. I've always loved to learn about science. In elementary school and middle school, science was always my favorite class.…

Truman State Transfer I am not an engineer. I really thought I would be, and I currently am a nuclear engineering major here at Missouri S&T. But, I am not an engineer. Just the freshman level engineering courses were enough to let me know that engineering isn’t what I want to do for the rest of my life. I still don’t know exactly what I want to do with my life, however a guest speaker here talking about his job in economics had me more interested and intrigued then all of my engineering…

Engineering belongs in many different fields, but what makes them similar is the thought process of the engineer. Engineers have to have an innate curiosity about them they not only have to wonder about how the world the works and why it works that way, but have to look for opportunities to enhance life in every field they can. Civil engineers look at the world and land to create something different and functional then what was there before. Civil engineers mostly work on structures to help…

Engineers hold the responsibilities to not only innovate new ideas but to do them safely to reduce the chance of error to a small percentage and them some. Engineers must keep in mind the well being of the workers and public who may reside nearby the engineer must be ethical and must follow the laws and use his skills to do things both efficiently and safely. Many of these factors were disregarded in the design, construction and operation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The engineers who…
