Kimberly Masi's presentation of Mechanical Engineering had to be the most interesting to me of all the speakers. It was so captivating that it made me think of doing some research on the major, yet I barely can picture myself doing a job like that in the future. Hearing about how she was a big part of projects at Disney World that we all have heard of, is just something that I really find amazing. O'Net's definition of Mechanical Engineering: perform engineering duties in planning and designing…
My main career goal is to be able to inspect, repair, and maintain vehicles and machinery, especially in construction or farming industries. I have the passion and determination to make this my career as an adult. As a child, I grew up taking things apart and putting them back together. Most recently in my high school career, I have loved learning about and working on small and bigger machines. When working on trucks and equipment, I get lost and lose track of time. I will enjoy going to…
Ever since I was little, I have dreamt of become an engineer… That is the response I heard from most of my peers at the multiple universities I have attended, but it is not something I can truthfully say. To be honest, I had no clue what the future held for me as a child, and I spent years chasing what I thought was right for me only to find out it wasn’t what I was passionate about. You see, I served in the military for nine years working as a data analyst before I made the decision to get…
In the U.S. alone only 18 percent to 20 percent of all engineers are female. I want to eventually join the engineering field and help raise those numbers. Specifically I want to become an astronautical engineer also known as an aerospace engineer. Astronautical engineers are a huge benefit to the ever growing interest in space exploration. Although, it is a difficult career to get into I believe I am fully capable of succeeding. Overall, astronautical engineering is extremely important in space…
Career and College Research Paper When I graduate from high school i would like to become an automotive service technician otherwise known as a mechanic. In the mechanic field you deal with a lot difficult situations such as not knowing what is wrong with a specific vehicle and sometimes not knowing how to resolve the issue. To be specific as a mechanic you will do a number of things such as inspect, maintain, and repair cars and light trucks(summary2). It is also important to understand the…
electricity to improving workplace and home environments, engineers have a variety of issues to improve. As I pursue a computer engineering degree at Grand Valley State University, I will have opportunities to work on many of these projects that will help to make the world a better place, not only in the United States but around the world. My college education will provide me with the knowledge and means in order to pursue my dreams as an engineer. As, I pursue these dreams I hope to make an…
“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…
any of these questions, you might think like an engineer! An engineer is not just a person driving the train. Engineers are the reason we have everything from thumbtacks to rocket ships. Our society depends on engineers to design everything we need to survive. That includes communication, transportation, housing, medical care, and even our food. Engineers think up all kinds of methods to help make the world a better and safer place to live. An engineer thinks about problems and ideas on how to…
1.1 Explain the typical axis conventions of the following machine tool in the form of a written report. Lathe Machine Tool Lathe machine is a machine tool that rotates the work piece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object with symmetry about an axis of rotation. (n.d.) Typical axis conventions of the Lathe Machine tool • The work piece is…
mechanical engineering, I interviewed Graham Jessup, a graduate from the University of Washington and a mechanical engineer at Electroimpact Engineering; a company based in Mukilteo Washington. Electroimpact is a world leader in design and manufacturing of aerospace tooling and automation. During the interview that took place through several emails, I learned much about what mechanical engineers are required to know, and how they use that knowledge to fully accomplish day to day tasks and…
