Structural engineer

“Explain how the work of [Energy absorption in lattice structures in dynamics ] has enhanced our understanding of Structural Engineering with respect to the work that preceded it, and how this research should be developed further in the future.” Nowadays, cellular materials are well-known in the world, however, the relationship between dynamic load and the deformation of the lattice structure is less well-studied. Actually, lattice structures can help engineer to produce macro-scale material properties more easier. The research “Energy absorption in lattice structures in dynamics” was focusing on characterising the quasi-static and the dynamic load-deformation behaviour of lattice samples. It’s aim is to investigate failure process and stress–strain…

As a competitive field, engineering requires active presence and involvement; a female engineer noted in an interview, “To advance, it seems as though you must be willing and able to work 50+ hours/week; and often be on call 24/7” (qtd. in Fouad and Romila 29). With women already balancing family caretaking responsibilities, pursuing a career in a competitive field that requires long hours and allows few days off becomes grueling and near impossible. Another female engineer, describing her…

Introduction I would describe myself as an engineering enthusiast, and have wanted to create things ever since I can remember. While it’s really hard to pin-point exactly why I’ve always wanted to become an engineer. I love the engineers give a purpose to mathematics and science, and use them to create the tools of our world. I want to experience the intellectual challenges engineers face. Engineers are paid well, and encouraged by everyone to solve the biggest problems of today. This report…

when people hear “I am an Engineer” they immediately treat one with a certain respect. However, why do people do that? What is engineering? In the internet, there are millions of definitions of engineering many people believe it is being able to use math and science and apply it to the real world problems. However, I think it is someone that works hard to help the improve the world, pioneer in technology, and inspire future generations to succeed. I want to use skills that I learn to help…

“We do not own the earth; we borrow it from our children.” I believe this Cherokee saying that I received from an interview with the University of Tennessee 's Dr. Gregory D. Moore truly stands for what an environmental engineer is, yet it does not completely sum up what exactly one is. An environmental engineer is a paid and educated worker for the world who works full-time in multiple environments in order to receive the benefits of protecting the planet for others (Bureau of Labor…

Social Engineering: Mitigating the Risks of Malicious Communication Defining Social Engineering Social engineering is defined by Berti (2003) as “the criminal art of tricking staff into revealing corporate information.” Social engineering can take place on various levels, and for various purposes. Social engineers can target other individuals and extract enough information to steal their identities (Brower, 2010). They can also use social engineering to perform reconnaissance on an…

From the energy we rely on to the food we eat, it is highly capable of improving our daily lives in a myriad of ways. For this reason, I am determined to equip myself with scientific proficiency in order to suffice the demand of our expeditious society in the future. During one occasion, I had the chance to discuss with a civil engineer about his occupation. I was undoubtedly astonished by the capability of the engineer based on their extraordinary skills, the fast-paced environment and the…

Since the modernization of technology in the last century, engineers often face the task of meeting demanding constraints in order to satisfy the consumers’ needs. For some professionals, many years of preparations are critical in becoming proficient in the industry. Therefore, they practice since secondary or post-secondary education in order to gain positive habits that will make those aspired innovators conscientious in their fields. Engineers always practice these methods to meet the…

Across the United States, there is a huge demand for women of all ages in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) based careers. Many corporations have created programs to help generate more interest in women, especially at a young age. Learning the basics of STEM, demand for engineers, and programs for women have been essential to the development of keeping the attention from women. Consequently, the problem for a career in secondary education in math is the lack of interest…

I’ve always wanted to be an inventor long before I found Engineering. I wanted to be someone who made the coolest of things and made so many people happy. I dreamed big as a kid, always getting lost in my little world of imagination. Growing up has changed some things for me. I still aspire to be an Inventor of sorts, but I want to do it better through becoming a world class Engineer. A world Class engineer would be able to effectively make goals and stick to them to strengthen their effect; the…
