Three careers that would be well suited for me are a cost estimator, an operations research analyst, and a conservation officer. Two of these careers involve quantitative thinking and mathematical skills, while the third career involves enforcing laws and regulations and working outdoors. Due to my interest in working outdoors I have chosen conservation officer as the best career opportunity for me. The first job I researched is a cost estimator. I researched this job because it involves…

I’m in an engineering class and I think it’s a good thing to dragster because you can learn the different aspects of engineering. This class teaches me the different steps of engineering. Dragster teaches kids and maybe adults to have fun and get crafty with designing different things. One thing that is important to remember is. CO2 dragster cars are a small wooden hand-made car but has incredible speed. I did research on CO2 dragster cars and I found some very interesting information. Such as,…

The advocacy of the ASME is to promote the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe thru education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other form of outreach. One of ASME goals is to provide advice to government officials at any kind of levels on engineering and technology matters and policies affecting the public interest and to make them understand…

By examining all the technology used in today's society, it must have acception influence. Technology does affect the workplace. I feel strongly that the workplace would not be able to function as acceptable without technology. If you fell and broke your ankle, they would more than likely use the x-ray machine to find out but what if we didn't have it? It wouldn't be so easy for doctors to know what's going on with us. Technology is helpful in the medical field. I know technology helps a lot of…

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 classes combined. Missouri S&T is a school designed…

Please tell us about particular life experiences, talents, commitments/interests you will bring to our campus community. Tell us about your academic goals, circumstances, that may have an impact on your academic performance, and in general, anything else you would like us to know in making an admission decision. QUESTION ONE As a child with an interesting background, I bring an understanding and appreciation of diversity. My mother is a Russian immigrant who moved to America in her early…

I can recall a time when I challenged myself to do tremendous work over the summer. That summer was this year, where I encouraged myself to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work at my parent’s nail salon to earn some cash, do my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was way too early for me). I was prompted to act because I recently found my…

science technicians. Science Technicians of both laboratory and school backgrounds deal with lots of strange chemicals and equipment every day, and of course they need to know how to get the best out of what they’re using. Although they are specially trained, some of their day to day activities may seem pretty mundane; measuring, sampling and testing chemicals. The chemicals may need to be tested to ensure they are what they say they are, or to see if they have degraded. The chemicals may need…

RGM Reflection My Rube Goldberg Machine is the PROTOTYPE-SR213. It accomplishes the simple task of lifting a cup. When I started brainstorming about the project, I wondered what I could do and how I could do it. When I finally came up with one idea, it was already time to make up two more ideas to pass the EDP. In the building stage, after I already chose what design I wanted to build, I made a bunch of changes. For one, I got rid of the part in the middle where a toy car rolled down a…

In Carolyn Miller’s article, What’s Practical about Technical Writing, she portrays techne as scientific, describing it as a productive means of reasoning that focuses on the practical construction and application of texts. She states that it is “both applicable and conceptualized,” combining theory and application together (22). It provides a framework by setting expectations for a given product, but also dictates the actual portrayal of a product. She refers back to Aristotle’s use of the…
