Introduction Everything 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

Why I want to be an Engineer There have been different reasons at different stages of my life why I developed a passion for the engineering profession. It started from a youthful age watching my father, who was a mechanical engineer and wanting to emulate him when I got to adulthood. I liked the way he talked about his occupation with great excitement. He tended to travel a lot but also had time to spend with his family. I was impressed with his knowledge of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

Good Day ! We, third year BS Computer Engineering students of FEU-East Asia College, are currently taking up the subject ENGE503 – Technical Writing for Engineering. A requirement of this subject is to study an existing design and later propose changes to the design’s weaknesses and irregularities. Our group decided to study the existing Returning and Borrowing System of Books in the Library. The group’s aim is to evaluate the effectivity of the system to its users, like students and faculty

student-run organizations in the United States. I was interested in going because a lot of the teacher assistants in my Intro to Engineering class are apart of the NSBE student organization and they always say how much they love it. I was also interested in their mission, I heard that they wanted to get more African American students interested in becoming engineering majors and helping them through school. I am an African American male and I wanted to see how they operated and get a better feel

Derek Debenham IS 4410 November 7, 2012 Tech article 4 A lab at MIT has taken inspiration from the humble earthworm for a new technology that could have huge applications in business and society in general. They have created a robot called “Meshworm” that looks like a writhing earthworm. The meshworm has a very simple design that is based on the centuries old principle that different metals expand at different rates when heated. A coil of nickel-titanium wire surrounds the Meshworm’s internal
