The purpose of this study is to learn more about engineering and especially mechanical engineering because it is going to be my degree. This text is divided into three parts, part A describes my degree choice, why I chose it and what I am hoping to be in the future. Part B will be a comparison between LJMU and the University of Liverpool, also it will provide an information about a lecturer in LJMU. Part C will compare and contrast two types of internal combustion engines.
Part A
I am interested in studying engineering especially mechanical engineering which is the subject of teaching the understanding of the principles of engineering such as forces and how they affect substances, the functionality of systems and how they work, manufacturing of tools, devices, machines and their parts with different sizes, shapes and different functions, and operation of mechanical systems.
There are several career options for mechanical engineers like an automotive engineer, design engineer, control and instrumentation engineer, maintenance engineer and mechanical engineer. My career choice is to be an automotive engineer who is involved in designing whole vehicles, manufacturing and operating. I chose to be an automotive engineer because basically I like everything that is related to cars, from preparing them to building them from scratch and I love cars in general.
I chose mechanical engineering because, firstly I followed my father’s advice, he said that engineers need to be creative and
Because of the people I chose to surround myself around, I found myself wanting to go into the field of engineering. My friends knew I had a passion for math and they suggested engineering as an occupation I should look into. As of result of that, I found myself getting into more hands-on projects in my last two years of high school, as well as taking an engineering focused course in high school to try it out. I fell in love with the career path and since then, I aspire to become an
The profession of mechanical engineering is a broad discipline of engineering. Mechanical engineers research, design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines. The duties in this career typically include: analyzing problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve a problem, designing, or redesigning mechanical and thermal devices or subsystems (a set of interconnected systems), using analysis and computer-aided design, developing and testing prototypes of devices they design, analyzing the test results and changing the design or system as needed, and overseeing the manufacturing process for the device. The designing and testing of the various devices shows the
For the purposes of this assignment, a female advisor in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was interviewed about her role as an academic advisor and in working with high-ability students. A female undergraduate student in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering was also interviewed about her experiences with her academic advisor and as a Trustee Scholar. The student provided her first name as “Vincy” but not her last name. It is important to note the advisor interviewed is not the advisor of the student interviewed. For better understanding, the student is a Trustee Scholar at USC; she received a full tuition scholarship for academic achievement in high school. Vincy is also an honors program student at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.
I was not sure of which field I wanted to major in. In high school I studied engineering for two years, so my guidance counselor and family members advised me to pursue a career in engineering. It was a very difficult decision to make because I did not know for sure if I wanted to continue studying
Before being introduced into the medical field, I had always seen myself as an engineer. Growing up I was fascinated by how everything worked. When something would break down I would be the first with a screw driver in my hand ready to take it apart. Of course being at such a young age, I would often worsen the situation than fix it, but the thrill and excitement from fixing a broken object meant the world to me. I thought becoming an engineer was my lifelong passion.
In today's society, there is a greater need for engineers than in previous decades. In an age of advanced technology, engineers are vital to the technological revolution that will fuel human development. It is an important movement that I want to be a part of.
Mechanics are people who knows what is wrong with an automobile and how to fix one, There are a lot of people in this career field, about 701,000 people are employed in this career in the United States. Mechanics have quite a bit of duties to pursue, some of these duties are to identify mechanical problem, often by using computerized diagnostic equipment. They also have to test parts to make sure they all work properly. If they do not work properly they then explain to their clients what automotive problems they are having, and inform them of the repairs they will make and what the cost will be.
Solving problems, working with machines, and learning new things have always been my strong points, I truly enjoy my work so long as I get do something with those three. So when I was told to write a paper on a career path, I thought, “Why not an engineer?” Now of course I didn’t just want to be any engineer, I wanted to be an electrical one. Along with electrical engineering, I wanted to work with the Marine Corps, because I want to be helping people and making my home a safer place, and joining the marines is one of the best ways to do that.
The career I have chosen is an Automotive Service Technician. Just to make sure everyone understands; an Automotive Service Technician is the proper term for a mechanic. Automotive service technician are the people that repair your cars and keeping them running properly through-out the life of that car. In this career you will need the right schooling and cannot jump the gun.
It wasn’t just this interest that made me decide engineering was right for me. I wanted to help people through something I was good at. Since I was about ten I’ve helped take care of my grandmother and after that my grandfather, and it became a big part of my life. I truly did love helping them and being able to make their lives easier. I loved it so much in fact, in my junior year I started volunteering at an assisted living community. Engineering allows me to funnel this compassion of helping others into my work through a subject matter I
I was sitting on the white tile floor of her laundry room, my attention fixed on her broken vacuum cleaner when I heard in the background my parents mention my potential to be an engineer. At the time, I did not fully understand what an engineer was, but I knew it had something to do with making things. Since that moment, I have become transfixed on the idea of pursuing that career in my future.
Throughout my life I have always wanted to be an engineer, my parents are both electrical engineers. I would I have always found math and most
When I first thought of what career I wanted, I played with computers so I just had the thought of to do something with computers like programming or a computer systems analyst. When I looked into more careers I had a bigger interest in cars and from there I wanted to be a mechanic. After wanting to be a mechanic I thought of who I could talk to or help to see if I would like being a mechanic and one close person to me that was into cars was my cousin who taught me a lot of things, like performance over appearance mods, “Tuner vs. Ricer”.
I chose electrical engineering for several reasons. One, I like to investigate stuff and figure out how it all works, and I have always had an interest in computers which function on electricity. I also love subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Trigonometry. I began considering engineering last year when I took an elective, Intro to Engineering, it was comprised of hands-on projects that I worked on and tried to make work. I loved the hands on approach it was fun and I learned a ton of useful skills and information. As for picking the electrical part, that was as simple. Ever since I was little I have loved computers I used them mostly for video games, but I was always curious as to their inner workings. I have had the enlightening experience of building my own personal computer from scratch. I went out bought the parts and carefully, as to not damage the delicate parts, put it together, installed my operating system, and now enjoy my own computer. This only made me more interested as to how all
When college students enter a career field, we encounter many problems and concerns, such as rules, traditions, and the writing involve. By doing the Discipline Investigation Assignment, it helps me to explore my future career field and get advice on how to do well in the industry. Also, this assignment is a great way to find out the struggles and problems as we encounter a new profession. The discourse community I have chosen is Mechanical Engineering. I am very passionate in doing machine work and repairing mechanisms, also I like math, physics, and sciences, therefore I want to be am Mechanical Engineer. In order to know what I need to be prepared and what are the daily work that I could be doing as a Mechanical Engineer, I conduct an
