ENGR 100: A Career As An Engineering Degree

2011, I joined as an internee Engineer at hydel power station in mianwali, I was young new internee and focused and I was accepting new challenges so that I could make my future bright through skills. Engineers always involve in critical thinking and decision making processes, during annual overhauling of the power house equipment I was being assigned to involve in workers and get it done in 1 month, I got worried being an internee to make such an arrangement among employees always difficult to get the job done, however, my high school science fair exhibition in 2004 had given me idea to settle any situation requires strategic plan, available workforce lastly proper execution, therefore, I gathered all field staff at one point in the canteen

Though I have varied interests, ranging from Linux to microbiology, my focus is now on engineering. This interest in engineering started out from a young age. As any other “stereotypical nerd,” I often disassembled anything that I could put my hands on, be it an RC car or my dad’s TI-8250 printing desk calculator. Later in my educational career however, I realized that I could pursue a profession following my curiosity and love of math and science. To begin this pursuit, I applied to Texas A&M for a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

In high school, I took several high level STEM classes that have not only prepared me for college, but have encouraged me to pursue a STEM career in the future. This includes Advanced Placement (A.P.) Calculus, A.P. Physics, A.P. Statistics, A.P. Environmental Science, Chemistry, and Biology. Although these classes were initially very challenging, as the course progressed my interests for these subjects grew and slowly my confidence as well. For me I enjoyed my biology and physics class the most. From learning about the parts of the cell in humans to learning how STEM cells could potentially replace tissue and regrow limbs, I was amazed at how scientists from around the world were able to make all these scientific discoveries and the possibilities

Starting freshman year, one of my first courses was Intermediate Programming which introduced me to the world of programming, coding, computers and technology in general. I developed a great interest for this field because of its use of numbers, logic and problem solving. I enjoyed looking at code and seeing how I could make it more robust or efficient. The joy from that class led me to take AP computer science two years later and then IT Essentials my senior year. During my sophomore year, I took Aeronautical Engineering and Engineering Applications. During these two classes I was as exposed to the engineering process and how to manage a project. Particularly, as a final project in Engineering Applications, I combined my

I was born with a keen curiosity and I find it very difficult to stop wondering how things work, especially if it includes STEM. Born and raised in a poor family where opportunities were both rare and expensive, I struggled as much as I could to never stop being fascinated by nature, and in part, I have indeed been successful. In fact, I believe that this struggle helped me outrank everyone during my high school and help me achieve significant accomplishments, such as being finalist in my country’s largest software development competition. I came to the United States with hopes and dreams of further exploring my interests. Here at Southeastern, I have been enrolled in a dual major program in computer science and physics. Since it is extremely hard for my parents who are going to retire within this year to fund for my education, I have to rely on scholarship awards for the continuation of my education at Southeastern. Thus, I am hereby applying for the J.E. and Mattye Lou Martin Scholarship and if possible, Norman Higginbotham Scholarship. Let me demonstrate my passion regarding STEM with a few examples.

Interdisciplinary undergraduate engineering programs have increased in importance and significance over past few years. Interdisciplinary research areas are strongly motivated to become disciplines themselves. If they succeed, they can establish their own research funding programs and make their own tenure and promotion decisions. Interdisciplinary studies can also give skills that help future engineers to cope in a changing environment. To understand the strengths and weaknesses of these interdisciplinary courses and programs, it is important to examine how students ' perceptions develop through the duration of the course, specifically in regards to their approach to an

While I was very young I felt a calling, a longing, to join the military. My family has been serving in the military for generations and continuing that tradition would be the highest honor. I have spent years preparing for and fine-tuning this goal into a reality. When I turned 12, I joined the Civil Air Patrol and began my training in leadership and military skills. I continued with the program until I started high school. In its place I joined my high school’s NJROTC unit. I also have participated in varsity sports to better prepare me for the military. It was during high school that I took my dream and fine-tuned it into a plan. During my junior year, I had to research careers I might be interested in after high school for an English project.

As the high school chapter of my life comes to an end, I have my eyes set on furthering my education at West Virginia University. I have recently been accepted into West Virginia University and am continuing to explore the opportunities it offers its students. I have primarily chosen West Virginia University as my new home for advancing my knowledge and pursuing a career for several reasons.

Driving into Ann Arbor and seeing all the University of Michigan flags on the houses gave me the instinct that I was going to love it here. Once I arrived at tech day and heard all the praise of the university’s engineering program I knew I was right. While at tech day I was able to preform a hands on task of completing a circuit, so that the alarm went off. This task required that we work in pairs of two. Immediately, I knew I was the only perspective student from the east coast, but that did not matter a girl from Michigan and I were able to complete the circuit while simultaneously becoming fast friends. The rest of the day we gathered a few more friends and were able to experience the community aspect of the university. The engineering program at the University of Michigan stresses the importance of group work and the ability to work with others. Once in the career world this skill is crucial because Biomedical Engineering requires interaction with many other people. The community aspect of the engineering program has attracted and captured me at the University of Michigan.

An engineering career can give options to a college-graduate that are hard to match. Engineering is a rewarding career path that requires hard work, and dedication. The hard work of a prospective engineer can be shown in the benefits he receives upon entering the workforce. For example, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the starting salaries of engineers are among the highest in the nation (“Engineers”, 2012, para. 4). Good things come to those who work hard. Mechanical Engineering Information.com would agree in mentioning that because engineering is so applicable to everyday situations, engineers can find work almost anywhere (“Mechanical Engineering salary”, 2012). Both of these corporations help enlighten the fact that

A person must be creative and mathematically headed to work as a mechanical engineer. He has to be creative enough to come up with solutions to new and pressing problems in their field. He has to be able to work out plans and manufacture never-before-seen devices to solve new challenges presented by innovation. The schooling for mechanical engineering is mainly focused on science and math principles. The University of Texas at Austin offers a great program to train mechanical engineers in the tools, technology, skills, and duties of their profession.

Students after finishing their study in high school tends to study engineering because they believe that their skills in science and mathematics are good enough to be an engineering student. Although it is a good chance to study engineering, students underestimate the work that is waiting for them. In addition, they underestimate the importance of communication, negotiation, and the amount of responsibility they have to make their own decisions in a company or in a society. To be an engineer, you must use your imagination first. You as an engineer, you are obliged to be the problem solver, you have to use your own skills and abilities to fix any design problem without referring to any other source like e-books. E-books are likely to give you some ideas on how you can fix the issue. In the future, students have to understand that engineering does not require only science and mathematics skills as it requires imagination and innovation. As an engineer, you have a lot of work and responsibilities that insure that your work is safe and can’t damage the surrounding.

The purpose of this project is to provide a better understanding of the different engineering disciplines offered at the University. Students will be divided into teams. Each team will prepare a presentation on a discipline to be presented to the class. This presentation serves as a means for students to learn, in-depth, about a major outside of their areas of interest. The assumption is that students haven’t had much information presented to them about these disciplines and opportunities afforded by them. After the presentations, each student will be armed with sheets of information about different disciplines and will learn a little something more about each in order to make a

In a world that is ever evolving, science, technology, engineering, and math has become ever more important in the job market. In the U.S. market, nine out of the ten fastest growing jobs require STEM knowledge (Jones 2). STEM education is required to have employees understand how to innovate and improve in the modern business climate. Only 33% of students going into college have the necessary education to understand the STEM concepts. Without a proper foundation, students will not be able to achieve at college when they are forced to expand upon knowledge they don’t even have. Much like a house that is built on a poor foundation, the 66% of students that don’t

In these years student are introduced to subject that are basic to engineering and subject that are specially related to aerospace engineers. These subjects include aerodynamics, structural analysis, fluid mechanics, flight vehicle design, flight mechanics etc. (Aerospace Engineers). Some universities allow students to enroll in five year program that earns bachelor’s degree and master’s degree at the end (“Aerospace Engineers”). When aerospace engineers done with education and get their job, one has a lot of responsibilities.
