As wireless technologies continued to evolve, however, several standards, which govern wireless technology, were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE 802.11 Working Group (WG), for example, is responsible for specifying the family of standards for wireless LAN technology. The IEEE 802.11 WG’s main goals are to produce standards that encourage interoperability of products made by different vendors and to ensure that wireless LANs provide equivalent
A professional engineer should always consider the public’s safety and welfare when performing engineering work. It is imperative for an engineer to be a professional because their work can affect the lives of many people. The Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) implemented rules to keep the public interest and trust. A document from the PEO states that “… rules are developed in response to the public’s reliance on professional engineers to ensure that the infrastructure, technology and consumer
In every generation an individual can discover his or her own particular hero, regardless of whether in art, politics, or history. In the film business, however, is that truly the case? The pioneer who molded the work of art are the ones yet claiming the most impact on movie makers today. Influence is characterized as that abstract power which can influence an individual, thing or course of occasions. Many trust that movies, more than some other work of art in the previous century, have a keen impact

This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Oil: The American Petroleum Institute’s Plea for American Hearts The debate about the merits or lack thereof of the use of petroleum has long polarized American citizens. To many, the oil industry invokes immediate images of profitable business ventures or environmental degradations, language alignments which have synonymized these images with the petroleum commodity itself. Calamities such as the BP oil spill have only added to the negative associations attached to the oil
Those who can convey their ideas can change the world, and those who stand alone fighting for their ideas are the strongest among us all.

Chapter One Senator Lucius Lyon Invests in Sugarbeets United States Senator Lucius Lyon was in his country clothes…a black alpaca coat over a brilliant white shirt bearing a high collar that heightened the richness of the fringe of dark hair, the remnant of an abundance that once covered his scalp. His boots were made of fine black oiled leather designed for wear with equal comfort in Michigan's loamy farm fields or Washington, D.C. streets. He was thirty-nine years of age. Though pattern baldness
Before the 20th century the United States was an isolationist nation but around the late 19th century America decided to convert into an imperialist power. They had numerous reasons to shift into being an imperialist nation. America didn’t want to begin imperializing to settle and live in the nations they were taking over, they already had America for that reason, they wanted to adopt these nations for what they had to offer, which was many things. America saw an opportunity to improving their nation
pharmaceuticals through research on cancer stem cells. The vast field of chemical engineering would help me reach my full potential in enhancing medical drug discovery. I believe that Texas A&M would provide me with all the tools I could need to pursue my chemical engineering degree, as well as other aspects of engineering I may want to pursue as well. Texas A&M offers minor’s degrees along with Bachelor’s degrees in Chemical Engineering. I have an ardent desire to go beyond a Bachelor’s and Master’s
employ the majority of chemical engineers are the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, electronic, environmental, medical, and military industries. These industries use the skills of the chemical engineers to help develop their products such as; biocompatible materials for implants and prosthetics, ultra strong fibers and adhesives for automotive use, and film for optoelectronic devices. I found that some areas of the country have a higher concentration of chemical engineers, for example, the Northeast
reason I am applying to the University of Wisconsin-Madison is because I want to be a chemical engineer and know they have an outstanding engineering program. The chemical engineering program at Madison is ranked #6 in the country, and I would love to be a part of it. When thinking of what colleges to apply to with an engineering major, the first school I thought of was Madison. My father is a mechanical engineer who graduated from Madison, and he is always talking about how good his Madison experience
Outside of my sorority, I am involved in a few different things. I am a Peer Adviser, which has taught me so much about how to make the Northwestern community welcoming, as well as how to discuss difficult topics such as sexual assault and mental health. Helping students work through these sensitive issues and helping them find the resources they need all while navigating the novelty of college life has given me a wide variety of skills that I believe translate directly to sorority life. I also am
It involves high-pressure injections of water and chemicals into rock formations, which in turn release natural gas (Thompson, “Hydraulic Fracturing Should Be Banned”). However, fracking can result in many negative outcomes. For instance, scientists who conducted the earthquake study for Geology discovered
Union Carbide is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow chemical company which was founded in the year 1917 as the union corporation whereas before it was known as union carbide and was founded in the year 1898. In the year 1957 it was officially named as Union Carbide Corporation. The company headquarters are located in Houston, Texas, USA and it was known, as it is still known to produce bulk chemicals, Ethylene and also Ethylene derivatives which are their main products, which undergo further conversion
Robert Goddard was a renowned physicist and aerospace engineer that ushered the way into the Space Age with the invention and the successful creation of the liquid-fueled rocket. Robert Hutchings Goddard was born on October 5, 1882 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Goddard’s love for science sparked at a young age with the electrification of many American cities in the 1880s. As a young child, Goddard performed several experiments of his own, like trying to make himself jump higher with a battery, and

Gene therapy is one of the largest and most controversial topics when it comes to ethics and scientific advancement. Not only does gene therapy require human experimentation, but also delves into a part of science that relatively new and not fully understood yet. Furthermore, as is with many pharmaceutical developments and advancements, additional non-engineering related, ethical questions come into play, such as economic conflicts and regulation. Before jumping into the ethics section of this
Everywhere you go, people are listening to music, whether it is on their smartphone or being played overhead in a department store. People cleaning dishes at home, typing an email at work, or even reading a magazine on the subway listen to music. An abundance of studies show how music positively affects the work efficiency of people completing tasks or jobs, especially those that are repetitive. Music causes people to work faster, be more focused, improve their mood, and spark the creation of new
