Systems engineering

Niels Bohr once said “If fast mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet’’. Mechanics is a constant in today’s world. Cars, dirtbikes, and ATVs, ETC have been around for as long as anyone can remember. Choosing to become a mechanic is a personal decision that takes time and consideration. Within the mechanic profession, there are many different places. For my future I'm confident that it's going to be pretty bright, I intend on being a motorcycle mechanic for a…

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA…

finished goods. This was the time I was introduced to the fascinating field of Chemical Engineering and the idea of pursuing the road…

With an astounding 1,393 patents between them, there is no doubt that Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were proficient inventors. Both became interested in design and engineering at a young age, so it is hard not to compare the two. They worked for years creating and perfecting their various inventions. Edison is best known for creating a commercially viable light bulb, and Tesla is remembered for his contributions to the design of alternating current electricity. Though Edison is more well known,…

processed food” (Non-GMO Project). The public has grown concerned over genetically engineered food. However, not many people actually know what GMO stands for. GMO is an abbreviation for genetically modified organism, and can be created by genetic engineering or biotechnology. These organisms could never be created naturally. They can be used for yeast, plants, fish, and other animals. Most commonly it is used in processed foods, even vegetables such as corn and soybeans. “The National Center…

Energy Management is a process that can be utilized to ensure the effective and sensible use of energy and energy related systems to reduce losses, save energy, become sustainable, and more environmentally conscious. TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) as a government owned utility should be cognizant and controlling of their energy usage and patterns while being a good steward to the environment. Energy Management has been a part of the company for some time, but there are things that could be…

The theory assumes that the mind is a system of organs of computation, designed by natural selection to love the kinds of problems our ancestors faced in their foraging way of life, if particular, understanding and outmaneuvering objects, animals, plants, and other people (pg. 21). The mind takes information and turns it into relevant information. The brain organizes this information into different modules, each with a different functions…

Book Portion: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World may seem far fetched from today's society, but the reality of various Huxley predictions is very real. Huxley satirizes the use of genetic engineering by showing how various aspects of it in the New World State have led to inequality in social castes, dysfunctions in intelligence, and unwanted predestination. There are four different castes in Huxley’s Brave New World, and all of them are very different. “The shorter the oxygen.”(14). This…

school and take graduate courses in Engineering Management at Temple University. After graduating with a notable four year Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Widener University, in Chester, Pennsylvania, I immediately joined the working world ten days after graduation and gained sound experience by working in the Integrated Logistic Support as a Mechanical Engineer of NAVSEA. I am enjoying creating procedures and diagrams for all Navy ship 's systems to get them underway on the…

Troubleshoot, maintain, calibrate, repair or install all of the electrical systems that have complex interlocking or related circuits. Such as PLC’s, generators, transformers, breakers, motors, heating units, or other transmission equipment in the facility. Using various test equipment to diagnose problems, determine electrical…
