...Introduction Career in mechanical engineering involves grappling with various aspects of the technical and practical work. The job of a mechanical engineer involves widespread handling of machines and components which have a direct relation with power by producing it, transmitting it or even making use of power. The major concern of mechanical engineers is bent towards ways and mechanisms through which natural energy sources are converted into uses of practical nature. As part of their work, mechanical engineers seek to come up with tools that are vital for other engineers to make use of them as they go about their daily routine. In order to work effectively, mechanical engineers need to work in a team of scientists and experts in various sectors of the engineering occupation who come up with theories and various other developments and innovations. In a more daily routine, mechanical engineers need to be complemented by other mechanical technicians in order that their work can be more effective . A career in mechanical engineering is one wrought with challenges and qualification requirements. As such, there are quite interesting benefits obtained from the career. A look at the various roles and functions of mechanical engineers shows the presence of these professionals is very essential in the modern day world. Analysis of the various components of mechanical engineering career and profession Mechanical engineering is one of the most important professions that have...

...Michael’s Auto Repair Shop Michael’s Auto Repair Shop was the largest chain of auto repair shops in the county with 12% market share, 500 garages, and 3000 employees (including 1000 mechanics). Last year, Michael’s decided to launch a Mobile Mechanic Service (MMS) which enabled the customer to call for a mechanic at the site of the breakdown. The service operated from a Central Control Room (CCR), a call center which received customers’ request and handed them over to various Regional Warehouse Units (RWUs) which housed the mechanics with their pick-up trucks. The mechanics from the RWU received the customer’s request along with the directions of the site of the breakdown and would drive down to the site in their pick up trucks. The instructions to the mechanics were to complete the job on site if it could be completed within 45 minutes with the spares available, or else to tow the car back to the RWU. The RWU also had a support staff that ensured that the pick-up trucks were well stocked with spares and ready for the next service visit. Low productivity Since the business started 10 years ago, the top management of Michael’s was concerned about the productivity of their mechanics, but with the launch of the MMS, this issue became more visible. An analysis of the data showed that on an average, the mechanics were servicing 2.5 cars per day, far fewer than what was expected, since servicing one car took less than an hour to complete. Peter D’Souza, an MBA from a premier institute...

...I was eating an cheeseburger and then something pop out of my mind. I wonder what happen to my cheeseburger that I just ate so I went home and seach it up. The process of mechanical digestion begins as you take your first bite of food. Your teeth carry out the first stage of mechanical digestion. Your center teeth, or incisors, cut the food into bite-sized pieces. On the either side of the incisors are sharp, pointy teeth called canines. These teeth tear and slash the food in your mouth into smaller pieces. Like mechanical digestion, chemical digestion begins in the mouth. If you take a bite of a cracker and roll it around your mouth, the crackers begins to taste sweet. It tastes sweet because a chemical in the saliva has broken down the starch in the cracker in to...

...Mechanical Ventilation as a Future RT Prolonged mechanical ventilation, or PMV provides patients with long term ventilation due to illness, a chronic disease, or respiratory failure. PMV is not used outright due to the complications it can cause to the body. Weaning techniques are to be used to avoid PMV if it can be avoided (White, A.C, 2012). This information can pertain to my future career as a respiratory therapist because I will frequently be around patients that require long term ventilation, will have to know when and how to wean patients off ventilators, and also learn to read and comprehend journal articles. Respiratory therapists are frequently around patients that require prolonged mechanical ventilation in the multiple settings they would be working in. “Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) provides ventilator support to patients with either isolated failure of the respiratory system or respiratory failure occurring as a component of chronic critical illness” (White, A.C, 2012). There can be multiple reasons as to why the patient is on mechanical ventilation, but no matter what a respiratory therapist would have to know how to...

...stereotype of the working engineer. This is a person who spends ten hours straight in front of his computer, making some strange graphs and calculations. He is afraid of sunlight and spends his free time inventing the time machine. When people try to start a conversation he says that he has a lot of work to do and tries to run away as fast as possible. This picture may be a little exaggerated, but it is how media and television draw it. But today, engineers need communication and writing skills even more than actual engineering. Any engineering career starts from the resume writing. Usually a resume consists of two parts: the list of things that you have done well in your life and the cover letter. Dr. Craig Gunn, a professor of mechanical engineering, clearly explains, “Many big companies do not require the cover letter, but it will be much better for you to write one, because if a manager will read it for some reason, your chances to get a job will be a lot higher.” A person that is going to give you a job will not see you directly, so you have to convince him or her not to throw your resume in the basket by presenting all of your best qualities in the resume. To write a good convincing resume is a very difficult thing to accomplish without some preparations. A good thing will be to go to a library and read a special book about resume writing. Also, the Internet is full of websites like http://www.7step-resumesampler.com/ that have a lot of important information about...

...PRINTING ON THE FIELD OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Name: Institution: Introduction 3D printing is the procedure of creating an objective material from a three-dimensional digital replica. Characteristically, this is done by laying down vast succeeding thin layers of a material (3-D printing: additive manufacturing, 2015). To print a 3D object, the manufacturer needs to employ a 3D computer-aided design. Consequently, this report paper shall attempt to look at the impact of 3D printing on the field of mechanical engineering during the next couple of years. Body Engineering practice is the technological activities that guarantee an organization or a company create products of the needed eminence as anticipated (ISPE Good Practice Guide: Good Engineering Practice, 2015). In the current periods, 3D printing has truly started to attract the thoughts of the people. 3D printings are also prompting an alteration concerning the procedures in which diminutive businesses, as well as industry heavyweights, construct and plan their products. Consequently, this is beginning to be reflected in the present engineering fields. 3D printing makes it probable to create objects with many multifaceted structures than conventional manufacturing techniques.

...“The Effectiveness of Saccharum spontaneum (Kans Grass) for the Production of Paper” Chapter I The Problem and it’s Setting Introduction Paper is very important to every man’s life. It is used by all types of people mostly students for personal or general purposes. That is why production of paper increases dramatically every year. Paper is made from the cellulose fibres that are present in hard wood and softwood plants. Usually, paper trees are being processed to produce paper. However, due to the rapid increase of the demands in paper, the source of these is being lessen little by little. Paper trees which is the main source of paper were cut and almost extinct. These facts gave the researchers the idea of conducting a research study entitled “The Effectiveness of Saccharum spontaneum (Kans grass) for the Production of Paper” that will be an alternative source of paper. Kans grass are suitable for making paper because it’s structure is just the same with the fibres that is used to make paper. Statement of the Problem This study was conducted to find an alternative source of paper making. It also aims to answer the following specific questions: 1. Is there a significa1nt difference on commercial paper and the paper made from Kans grass? 2. How may the paper made from Kans grass be described in terms of: 2.1) Cost 2.2) Availability 2.3) Efficiency Hypotheses Based on the problems stated, the following hypotheses...

...assignments that have challenged my writing skills. I have found that as a writer, few of the strengths that I have are providing good supporting ideas of a paper and formatting of a paper. I have a keen knowledge of what each topic of a paper is about and how to support the points that I have chosen to write about. I am also knowledgeable on how the papers should be formatted from GCU style to APA style. However, some of my challenges are that I type how I talk which causes me to have more than a few grammatical errors. I also have a tendency to write papers that are unorganized and that causes a reader to lose track of what my papers are about. Based on the feedback I have received the areas that I will need the most improvement in are grammatical errors, mechanical errors and organization of my papers. So far, I have taken a few steps to help improve my writing skills. One step that I have taken is I use different colleagues to proofread my work before submitting it. Another step I have taken to improve my writing skills is I practice using the Student Success Center. The Student Success Center provides me with many tools that has helped me improve my writing a little more each time. In my past academics I have written a number of papers and essays. I have written many narrative, persuasive, description and exposition papers. My favorite type of writing is description because it is like poetry to me. I love writing poetry to clear my mind or to express myself. The writing...

...Running head: ACCOUNTABILITY OF NURSING PROFESSIONALS: WEANING Accountability of Nursing Professionals: Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation Samantha Madrid Grand Canyon University Abstract This paper will discuss the weaning of patients off of a mechanical ventilator. It will look at the problems associated with prolonged intubation vs. premature extubation, and what healthcare professionals can do to assess a patients readiness to begin the weaning process. A patient care scenario will be given and an explanation of how nursing practice can evolve with the knowledge from this study will be shown. The accountability of the nursing professional in regards to mechanical ventilation will be visited as well. Accountability of Nursing Professionals: Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation “Mechanical ventilation refers to the use of life-support technology to perform the work of breathing for patients who are unable to do so on their own.” This is the definition of mechanical ventilation according to Cook, Meade, and Guyatt (2000). They performed a study to determine the optimal time to wean a patient off of mechanical ventilation. When weaning a patient you have to find the right time to extubate. Prolonged mechanical ventilation can lead to nosocomial pneumonia, cardiac associated morbidity, and possible death. However, extubating a patient too soon may result in having to reintubate which can result in the same illnesses as prolonged intubation. “Research to date suggests...

...most common nosocomial infection in Critical Care units. VAP is linked with high mortality rates, increased hospital stays, longer mechanical ventilation and increased costs to hospitals and patients (Rosa, Hernandez, Carillo, Fernandez, & Valles, 2012). Patients who have an endotracheal tube (ETT) with mechanical ventilation are more likely to develop VAP. These patients have a poor cough reflex due to a decreased level of consciousness and diminished movement of the respiratory tract mucocila, leading to the inability to clear secretions. These contaminated secretions will then sit on top of the ETT cuff and eventually leak down and invade the lungs. Also aiding as a reservoir for microbes is a biofilm that can form on the ETT and enter the lungs causing infection (Mietto, Pinciroli, Patel, & Berra, 2013). Nurses are responsible for applying pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures to help prevent VAP which poses a very difficult challenge. Nurses must research and incorporate the use of evidence-based practice into their daily care of patients on mechanical ventilation (Sedwick, Lance-Smith, & Nardi, 2012). This paper will look closely at the evidence-based research and protocols implemented which best prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia. To help prevent further complications and improve outcomes in patients on mechanical ventilation, a standard of care was created by the Institute for Health Care Improvement (IHI) in 2004 called the Ventilator Bundle...
