disbursing the forces evenly. They should also use precision in building in order to produce clean connections between members. The bridge design project taught the importance of precision, both in construction and in engineering design accuracy, distribution of total force, and the engineering design method in…

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…

criticizes the STEM program, citing the shortages of the program and implications of the policy on education and the workforce. His book excellently brings out a wealth of data and information, revealing the history of booms and bust in science and engineering employment. It as well outlines the shortages of STEM, as fault tool for lobbying for high skills and used to curb immigration. Even though the book presents great ideas in relation to challenges of investing in scientific research, it has…

Gender Gap in Engineering Engineering has always been considered an exceptional major throughout the history. It combines various human characteristics and brings out their scientific and leadership skills. It is one of the few majors that are known for their intellectual challenges and tough problem solving situations. However, with all the scientific and technological advancements in the field of engineering, the controversy of whether or not females can work in this field and handle all its…

goal consists of acquiring a Bachelor 's degree in Civil Engineering. I am preparing to do this by taking High School classes that are providing the basic concepts I need to learn before I take an Engineering course in college. Some examples of classes that have helped me get prepared are Physics by teaching me the basic principles of motion and concepts of energy and force, AP Statistics by giving me rigorous assignments, Intro to Engineering Design that taught me how to utilize AutoCAD to…

concerned, it would be wise to have done an internship at a music studio or enlisting in a degree program in recording arts or sound engineering. To achieve your ambition of becoming a Recording Engineer, there are a wide variety of different courses you can invest in to get all the necessary training and prior instructions. Some of these courses include: • Advanced Structural Dynamics and Acoustics: Which can be taken at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This course helps students…

bachelor degree in Civil Engineering from Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia after a long pedagogic journey. And yet, notwithstanding all that hard work, I am still not an excellent engineer I know I could become in the future. I am still full of the urge to reach my full potential, as a consequence, I want to step the next step. Consequently, I am honored to apply…

Family, it means something different to everyone. Sometimes our family is related by blood, other times they’re not. Sometimes we love our family, sometimes we can’t stand them. Everyone defines who and what family is differently, because of this it’s difficult to pinpoint a single definition for it. In order to prevent providing a narrow definition Henslin explains that “family consists of people who consider themselves related by blood, marriage, or adoption (Henslin, 2015, p. 368). Just like…

Anderson’s Two Codes According to Henslin, sociology is the scientific study of society and human behavior. According to Doctor Heck, sociology is the scientific study of human social behavior; studies processes and patterns of individual and group interaction. Elijah Anderson, a leading sociologist in urban ethnography, is the author of the Code of the Street. Code of the Street is a book about the reason behind violence in inner-city black America and the code that regulates it. He starts by…

From many years of sociological research, collecting quantitative and qualitative data, three sociological theories have stood the test of time. These dominant theories are, the Structural-Functional Approach, the Social-Conflict Approach and the Symbolic-Interaction Approach. “Each sociological theory presented has a unique way of explaining social behaviour in the real world”. (Thiessen, 2017) These theories have all been developed by good sociologists; sociologists who remain objective and…
