...I first became interested in information technology and telecommunication network systems when I was working for a civilian company contracted by the United States military in Iraq. I began my career in 2005 after graduating as an electrical System Technology through the Turkish engineering company ASFA Group that provided labor force to the United States military bases. My responsibilities included managing the ASFA Group construction contract as well as managing the company’s employees, where I was solely responsible for four AFSA compounds and four U.S. Military bases resulting in the supervision of 285 employees. In 2010, a manager of the American company AT&T who was impressed with my knowledge in network operations as well as my hard work ethic discovered me. I was immediately offered a position as a network technician, where I was responsible for setting up equipment, acquiring satellites, and monitoring networks in support of U.S. Military operations. After Operation Iraqi Freedom was finished, I was sent to Afghanistan to continue working for the company until summer 2012. Family matters led me to Turkey immediately following my voluntary resignation. It was in Turkey that I began working at INTA Engineering as a TURKCELL Contractor, the largest mobile service provider in the country. There I monitored and troubleshot network systems in seven cities and 1,300 network devices. I also continued expanding my skills in IP networking engineering and acting as a service provider...

...Name: HUY HUYNH Class: PHIL-370 Instructor: Michael Davis Third Paper ENGINEERS AND LAYERS Ornella Muti, P.E., was retained by plaintiff’s attorney to evaluate a transponder used in small planes to determine whether it could have been the cause of a mid-air collision. While doing the evaluation, Muti discovered that the transponder has a flaw which, though unrelated to the collision, might well cause another dangerous error, failure to respond during the approach to landing if the ambient temperature is too high. Since this second flaw both concerns public safety and was unrelated to the case, Muti sent a senior engineer at the defendant company a copy of the relevant parts of her report when she sent the entire report to the plaintiff’s attorney, telling the attorney what she had done. Plaintiff’s attorney then filed a complaint with us, alleging breach of confidentiality, breach of contract, and other unprofessional conduct. The case is pretty simple to understand. Muti was hired by a plaintiff’s attorney to investigate a transponder whether it caused a mid-air collision. While doing so, she found an unrelated flaw that could cause a hazard. She sent a second engineer at the defendant company parts of her report, and then sent a full report to the plaintiff’s attorney, telling about the second engineer. The attorney filed a complaint against Muti. The case itself has a few ambiguous details. We have made the following assumptions to clarify these ambiguities so that we...

...understand the reality of ‘engineering.' For them, engineers are “super-humans” who build rockets, robots, electric vehicles and the like. The reason is that when a person says he works on a satellite project, people jump to the conclusion that he knows every detail of building a satellite. In reality, no engineer can know the entire details of projects. For example, it requires people from various disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering to design an electric car. Since the common man has the “super-human” view in mind, he generally does not accept or appreciate many of the “real” engineering works. For example, a home inverter might not bring about any awe to the common man as does an electric vehicle (though both might be equally challenging to build), because he often finds a technician setting right the problems in a home inverter. The technician just knows by experience what to do, whereas an engineer knows why it has to be done. Engineering is more valuable than science First, I will clarify the difference between ‘science' and ‘engineering' through a simple example. The study of optics of materials will fall under science. Scientists (physicists, in this case) will try to explain the optical properties which different materials possess. If someone tries to use the optical properties to make a microscope or a camera, he will be an engineer. Scientists establish facts which engineers exploit to make things useful to society.

...that we use to make our life more comfortable are created and maintained by engineers. Clearly engineers play an important role in our lives. However, there is a shortage of them. I believe that studying engineering should be encouraged and we should make engineering a more attractive career. In this report, I will address the importance of engineers, reasons why we are lacking them and some solutions that can help solve the problem. 2. The importance of Engineers Engineers apply their knowledge in mathematics, sciences, economics and society and use their practical skills to design and build structures, machines, devices, materials, systems, and processes1. Looking around us, everything from vehicles, buildings, facilities to our laptops, mobile phones have been created and are still maintained by engineers. Hence, it is hard to imagine how our lives will be without them. Moreover, engineers are those who has changed and shaped the world today. “Engineers will drive the solutions to today’s most pressing problems” – Quote by Dean of Engineering, UC Berkeley. One of the most significant events in the history of the world’s economy is the Industrial revolution in eighteenth and nineteenth century. Starting in the UK, the manufacturing of products has switched from animal and labour based to machine based. Since then, the UK economy, and later the most of Europe economy have developed dramatically. Engineers continue to solve one of the biggest problems today, global warming. The...

...MANUAL OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE FOR ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS I. CODE OF ETHICS FOR ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING PRACTITIONERS FOREWORD Honesty, justice and courtesy form a moral philosophy which, associated mutual interest among men, constitutes the foundation of ethics. The electronics engineer should recognize such standard, not in passive observance, but a set of dynamic principles guiding his conduct and way of life. It is his duty to practice his profession according to this Code of Ethics and Conduct. The keystone of professional conduct is integrity. Hence, it behoves the electronics engineer to discharge his duties with fidelity to the public, his employer and his client and with fairness and impartially to all. It is my duty to interest himself in public welfare, and to be ready to apply his special knowledge for the benefit of mankind. He should uphold the honor and dignity of his profession and avoid association with enterprise of questionable character. In his dealings with fellow engineers, he should be fair and tolerant. RELATIONS WITH THE STATE 1. Each and every engineer shall recognize and the supreme authority of the State as express through its laws and implemented by its agencies, whenever wherever such laws do not infringe upon the rights and privileges of citizens as guaranteed by the Constitution. 2. He shall recognize that the well-being of the public and the interest of the State are above the well-being and interest of any individual. ...

...facts in the situation – obtain all of the unbiased facts possible Donald J. Giffels is a civil engineer and president of a engineering consulting firm. His firm was under a contract to some work with installing equipment at a facility to train firefighters dealing with fire crashes of airplanes. Jet fuel was recently replaced with liquid propane because it contaminated the soil to simulate fires. Giffels was concerned about the lack of design in areas crucial to safety. No design analysis was submitted either. He contacted the designers for a justification in approving the design. Giffels contacted another engineering firm that had installed similar designs and they had confirmed the cause for concern about safety when looking at the design. A mechanical engineering firm was asked to do a design study but was turned down because of liability fears. Therefore Giffels firm asked the government to be absolved of any responsibility in case of mishaps do to inadequate design. The firm refused to proceed with the installation until safety issues were addressed. The government agency agreed and brought in three other firms to fix the safety issues. Step 2: Define the Stakeholders - those with a vested interest in the outcome The Government agency would be a stakeholder. Where they have overlooked the safety designs and failed to submit an analysis. Giffels’ civil engineer is a stake holder also who would have felt the guilt of ignoring the design although his firm is only...

...work together to improve product development. Its main focus is around the “voice of the customer”. By using the House of Quality (HOQ) to understand the voice of the customer, they are able to translate this into the voice of the engineer to help keep a consistent design scheme. The first thing you must do is identify the customer’s needs. These range from the benefits they want to the service they expect to be provided. Personal interviews and focus groups are then made to find anywhere from 100-400 needs that the customers desire. The next step is structuring these needs into a hierarchy based on primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. After structuring the needs, they are then prioritized so that the most desired needs are taken care of first while the others are not deemed as necessary. The last thing that is done is to have the customers assess the current products to see which aspects they should replicate in future products. All of this must then be translated and communicated to the engineers to establish the “voice of the engineer.” They come up with design attributes such as time to perform task, initial setup time, and time for a new operator to perform the task. All of the engineering measures must then be compared with others. The engineers then specify the strongest relationships while leaving the other 60-70% blank. A roof matrix is then created to analyze the tradeoffs between the different variables. These processes have been implemented in many different companies...

...research engineer is the closest of a scientist. They explore fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics in order to overcome barriers preventing advancement in their field. They also conduct investigations using various means like experiments both large and small-scale. Development- The development function is often coupled with research in so called R&D divisions. Development engineers take knowledge acquired by researchers and apply it to a specific product or application. They continuously looking for ways to incorporate the findings of research, into prototypes to test their feasibilities for use in tomorrows products. Testing- Test engineers are responsible for designing and implementing test to verify the integrity, reliability, and quality of products before they are introduced to the public. They devise ways to simulate the conditions a product will be subjected to during life. Design- The design engineer is responsible for providing the detailed specifications of the product society uses. They use their knowledge of scientific and mathematical laws, coupled with experience, to generate a shape to meet design tools and are often supported by technicians trained in computer drafting software. Analysis- is an engineering function performed in conjunction with design, development, and research. They use mathematical models, and computational tools to provide the necessary information to design, develop, or research engineers to help...

...related to women’s and girls’ concerns and interests. Many of these factors are bound up with cultural and societal influences. Being a woman in engineering industry is different from being a man in engineering industry. Not better, not worse, but different. Gone are the days when female engineers were masculine, grim women who were constantly exhausting themselves to be considered equal to men. The nouveau woman engineer is ambitious, comfortable in her own skin, strong, intelligent and feminine. This paper contains the path, women entered in to engineering field and the initial phase of difficulties they faced. The facts and reasons, which were dragged them in to Engineering field, are explained. The main difficulties and hurdles are discussed once they entered in to the field. The different field of study shows that women choose engineering mainly because they enjoy the underlying mathematics and science. Working professionals in industry or government perceive that women assume a more indirect, supporting role; however, women overall strongly affirm their selection of engineering despite some negative factors. The comparison graphs and charts show the exponential growth of women engineers in the recent past. This number shows that the negative factors are not playing...

...Worldwide Equipment Case Analysis Discussion Weimin has not performed up to Worldwide Equipment standards. He is lacking in all aspects outlined by the company for position advancement: seniority, sales performance, sales leads generated, and team spirit. This is understandable for someone who is new to the sales position, but Weimin has shown little to no improvement. He was recently hired, so he certainly doesn’t have any seniority. Since being hired, he has generated 17 sales leads, and none of those have resulted in any sales. Both of these statistics are lows within the sales force. Weimin is also hugely lacking in team spirit; according to Wang, he is very “silent and introverted” and has “little ability to engage with people at all.” Wang hired Weimin on the basis of respecting his boss’ recommendation, but he also felt that his knowledge and connections within the textile industry could be beneficial. This is a unique characteristic that could set Weimin apart from the rest of the sales team, but he has not taken advantage of it. He has many connections within the industry, but he views them as friends, and he does not wish to mix his personal life and business life, so he neglects capitalizing on them. This is honorable, but if he doesn’t choose to find leads elsewhere, his potential for success is minimal. At one point, he tried to do business with one of his personal connections, and when it didn’t produce a sale, he burned a bridge by becoming deeply...
