Introduction
“Engineering is a form of art and has filled the world with things of obvious visual beauty but also with subtle forms” –Louis Brown. Everything that surrounds us has been critically designed to perfection after many iterations of trial and error. Engineering is all about creating or designing a project and failing. Yes, I said failing. What I mean by this is that every project is exposed to defects, but the real learning experience comes from acknowledging your mistakes and revising them to make your design better than before. Every bridge, car, or machine that is used on a daily basis consists of a type of engineering discipline. In this report, I will be contrasting three engineering disciplines; Civil, Mechanical, and Industrial Engineering. I chose to compare and contrast these three disciplines because they are the most in-demand (and growing) engineering jobs.

My intent is to provide background information on these three engineering disciplines and to provide a basic understanding on how important they are to this generation and to society. To facilitate the understanding of these three disciplines, this report will be divided into the following main sections based on each discipline: (1) history and heritage of the discipline; (2) specialities and/or sub-disciplines; (3) impact on the safety and quality of life for humankind; (4) career opportunities for graduates; (5) national and/or international supply and demand; (6) regional job market needs; and (7) Salaries for BS, MS, and PhD
I am particularly fascinated by the role of Mechanical Engineering in solving real-world problems and improving the quality of life for individuals and communities.
As an aspiring engineer this topic is very important to me because I may work in this field when I am older.
My idea came from watching a documentary on how prisons and jails in Europe have a different approach dealing with inmates when being punished for a crime they did. This place was in Norway, their jails are actually treating their inmates with gratitude. Erwin James (2013) labeled Norway jails inmates “live in conditions that critics brand 'cushy' and 'luxurious'.” These amazing jails have positive results because they have the least reoffenders in the world. The results of my topics should be positive, the reason I say this is because it been tested out in different countries and they had amazing results.
The Engineering Management program at ST.Cloud state University aligns perfectly with my academic and career goals. I am particularly attracted to the program's comprehensive curriculum, which offers a holistic approach to engineering management, encompassing areas such as project management, operations research, financial analysis, and innovation management. Moreover, I am drawn to the exceptional faculty at ST.Cloud state University, renowned for their expertise and contributions to the field. The opportunity to learn from their wealth of knowledge and engage in cutting-edge research and industry partnerships greatly excites me.
The design challenges presented by my dream kindle my passion for engineering. As a female engineer, I anticipate encountering numerous obstacles in the pursuit of my career. Despite my passion and ambition, some will view me as less capable than a man. I refuse to let these obstructions crush my ambition.
One in every three kids are obese in America, according to the website www.kidshealth.org. The fast food industry causes obesity by doing concerning practices and because of a lack of healthier convenient options. Obesity causes health problems such as asthma, heart failure, and diabetes. Possible solutions to this dangerous chain are educating fast food customers and stricter regulation by the FDA over the fast food companies.
The essay aim to introspect deeply on the special need groups of physically challenged, their available leisure options. Various limitations and difficulties that hinder the disabled from perusing the desired leisure activities has been critically analysed. Available research materials have been to maximum use to come up with feasible ways to tackle the discussed limitations. Relevant theories of psychology and leisure has been incorporated and applied to bring in more clarity. (Recreationtherapycom, 2016)
Social media has become a very powerful tool in our times. It is a great way to stay connected with family and friends located abroad, as well as potential business partners and employers.” In recent years the use of Social Media has increased to hundreds of millions of users all around the world who are participating in the “Social computing revolution" by using social networking sites, micro-blogging and photo sharing websites, location-based and cloud services. ”(Killekar, O., Shah, H., & Kolge, A., 2013).It is a helpful tool that we can all benefit from. As much as social media offers a lot of positive things, its excessive use can also harm our lives.
Profiles of Engineers The purpose of this paper was to interview a professional engineer worker in my field of interest, which was computer science. The individual I chose was a male named Jimmy. I chose this individual because we shared similar experiences with a common goal. He inspires me to not give up when school gets tough, because this is just a small obstacle that everyone faces and those who choose to get up and push will achieve greatness.
A college education gives students an opportunity to socialize and make new friends that they could not have met if they were not enrolled in a college. You begin to interact with people of all cultures and learn how to embrace diversity. As you begin to associate with these different cultures you eliminate the stereotypical ideas you had about those cultures. Joining different social clubs or groups can help you to become more socially involved and active around campus. For example, joining a sorority or fraternity you are engaging with a group of people that have prior knowledge and know the history behind the organization.
Mechanical Engineering is the core of all modern scientific development as it can help construct all types of machines, to reduce human efforts. I have always been fascinated with what mechanical engineering has helped accomplish, as engineers are able to build complex structures such as aircrafts and satellites. Physics and maths are two of the most important aspects of mechanical engineering and I personally enjoy pursuing these subjects and learning about atomic particles, kinetic motion, fluids as well as statics, dynamics and vectors in them. I am from India, which is a rapidly developing country where mechanical engineers can play a key role in developing my country as they can design various of machines and equipment that can be used in technological systems, buildings, vehicles etc.
All most people have a common “ill” now. They can not live without phone. Also, it’s hard find a person who does not use internet. Pew Research Center stated that “As of January 2014, 74% of online adults use social networking sites” (2015), which means with the development of technology, social media becomes more common. Moreover, it will bring people some effects.
Imagine a life where humans can fight off diseases, where transportation is not dependant upon animals or limited to the ground, where distant communication can occur in a matter of seconds, and where the Earth isn't our only frontier. Although this is the world in which we live now all of this might just have been wishful thinking for someone in the past. Recent discoveries and advancements in technology are the result of scientific progression, but also is every other single aspect of present time. Humans are now able to travel faster, live longer, and explore farther, only some of the comforts offered by science. Admittedly, progresses in its different fields have sometimes been burdens for men, but more often they are not.
I want to know about all the different kinds of engineering before I decide which path to take. It was very hard for me to decide on a career path since I’m getting my AA degree when I graduate high school. I realized I no longer wanted to become that doctor my family always wanted me to be. Seeing my dad’s life as an electrical engineer also gave me a lot of inspiration. There are many
It enthralls me how engineering affects us all, every moment of the day, every day of the year, and throughout our lifetime. From an invention as simple as a door lock to a communication satellite revolving around the Earth; engineering has touched every aspect of our life. This ever expanding scope has resulted in most byzantine engineering practices and therefore has necessitated a workforce adroit in understanding, managing and solving engineering problems with finesse. In awe of the ceaseless possibilities the field of engineering has provided us with and the need of the hour to develop a new generation of adept technical managers, graduate course offering the perfect amalgam of engineering and management would be vital to my professional growth.
