Systems engineering

Genetic engineering is an alluring and powerful branch of science and technology. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines genetic engineering as, “the group of applied techniques of genetics and biotechnology used to cut up and join together genetic material...from one or more species of organism and to introduce the result into an organism in order to change one or more of its characteristics”. Genetic engineering has led to some of the most remarkable advancements in agriculture and medicine.…

advancements to FES, University of Toronto would be ideal, but the McMaster University would also be a good option. Both of these schools offer prestigious programs in the field of biomedical engineering, and both undergraduate and postgraduate. University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering would be optimal because of its research themes, and connections. The University works closely with the Toronto Rehab Institute, and it would be an additional asset to have Dr.…

with the characteristics that are desired. Genetic manipulation, also called genetic engineering or genetic modification, is the process of removing a desired characteristic gene from a plant and transferring it to another plant through biotechnology (Study.com, n.d.). This technique has emerged and is still in use due to crop improvement, human nutrition, plants as Bio factories and basic studies. Genetic engineering involves the transfer of genes from the same species and across species to…

“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge” (Prov. 18:15). This intelligence has to be well rounded, but also flooded with goals in order to become successful in an academic career. Applying to mechanical engineering, simply getting through with a passing grade is not enough. I feel that is what many students struggle with. They want the easy road. They will often go through a class, come out with a passing grade, and have learned nothing. I want to be…

Chemical Engineering While searching for a major and trying to figure out what to do with your life, it is likely that you will come across someone supporting more people in STEM careers. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics covers a very wide range of education and job opportunities. People who apply these disciplines in their careers are on the frontlines of American technological innovation. Chemical engineering is one of these STEM courses. In short, chemical engineers use…

college or a university due to the need of money. I was born in Mexico and was 1 year old when my mom and I came here to the United States around 2001 and since then I believe my mom and I have lived a better life. My intended major is Mechanical Engineering and I plan to one day have a successful career in the Automotive Industry. I believe I am one of the best candidates for this…

that gender is often overlooked when diversity is discussed. Engineering has been and still is a male dominated field of study. Women have often been overlooked and seen as incapable of this type of work but in reality this is not true. Since NC State has a very large engineering program, I have had the opportunity to experience this on campus. Amelia Coley is a senior here at NC State and she is currently studying civil engineering. After meeting with Amelia and discussing her experiences as…

give up on them. What if a gender bias caused you to give up on your dream and settle for a job you would hate doing everyday? The article I am going to analyze today is “Outstanding women in mechanical engineering” written by Hoh, Yin Kiong. This article concerns how many women stray from engineering and science based jobs because of people’s perception of engineers and scientists. It also gives an amazing example of a very successful woman engineer and her accomplishments throughout her…

I have always been fascinated by how and what make things work the way they do. From a young age, I would sit in my garage taking things apart and putting them back together just to satisfy my curiosity. When I started high school this curiosity just got stronger, leading me to join my high school robotics team. With robotics I was able to explore the world of designing, testing, and bringing to life these ideas that started out as scrap metal. Through talking to different engineers at…

Underestimated Risks Risk analysis in engineering design has played an important role from a very long time ago. At any certain level of designing, the understanding about the potential risk is crucial and must be carefully considered. At the last year in college, senior students will take capstone design project and learn about how to deal with risk analysis. There are many important risks needed to weigh and assess in the real world industry. These approaches should be technocratic and…
