Engineers Without Borders Canada

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are a unique institution consisting of a wide cross section of our nation’s population. It is due to this vast representation of cultural and regional upbringings that there lies a requirement for an integration process into military life. In this paper I will discuss some training procedures utilized during my basic recruit school training in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, and the theories and models of psychology and behaviour they were based upon.

The Confederation took place in 1867, and the Canadian Expeditionary Force(CEF) was raised in 1914. The CEF is what protects what the Confederation created, and would not the nation’s greatest achievement be protecting that which the nation created. “Canada did not enter the war of its own accord but was automatically at war when Britain declared war against Germany.” Canada entered the war to stand by its mother country, to protect the country who founded it. The Canadian Corps and CEF were created to defend Canada, and fought not only in the war but for the recognition that Canada deserved, to then show that in the Great War we achieved something great, and finally to piece together to how Canada is now, to build through the years and show that this was truly Canada’s greatest achievement.

In today’s society, both male and female are expected to play specific gender roles. In Canada women and men are thought of as equal, having the same rights to respect, autonomy, and independence (Bonvillain and Miller 2013: 39). The Canadian Border Services Agency ignored this right when the agency allowed religious travelers to avoid female guards. Although men and women may have different roles in their households and communities, their work and activities are equally valued and socially rewarded (Bonvillain and Miller 2013: 39). These roles play an important part in shaping the way individuals think about others in society. The CBSA should not have approved the request of the religious travelers as it devalued the female guards rights by promoting gender inequality and male dominance.

As a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces, I am happy to outline and expound various organizational aspects which are valuable to our members. While our organization is actively working to complete organization cultural changes that will see an improvement for all concerned, five examples of the signs outlined in Management Principles by Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan (2010) will be provided.

Immigrants who come to Canada are survivors of armed conflict or torture, victims of smuggling and human trafficking or even children and families, many of whom do not speak English or French. They come to this country to seek security and live out a healthier life, they are not criminals, nor are they facing criminal charges. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has an overflow of immigrants who enter the country seeking refuge, their solution to this overflow, while they wait for approval to stay in the country, is to transfer these vulnerable people, who most likely suffer with mental health issues due to their previous living conditions, and confining them without notice, to provincial prisons, even though they are not serving a criminal

For decades now the nation of Canada, our country has been a home to millions of immigrated citizens, due to the civil disorder, persecution, and/or simply for a better income and way of life. Canada proclaims multiculturalism, which demonstrates to these immigrants vision Canada will provide each and everyone of them a safer environment in which their home countries could not provide them. Since 1966, Immigrants and workers in the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) have been a huge part of the Canadian history (CBC News 2012). The SAWP program brings in around 25,000 to Canada annually, says Kerry Preibisch, a professor of sociology and anthropology at the University of Guelph. Sixty-six per cent of those workers are employed in

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, in World War I is going to be the topic that will be covered. How the Engineers had a invaluable impact on World War I. The areas and job fields that the engineers had diversed in. Facts will be covered on the reasoning why the United States had entered the Great War of Wars. The twenty-eighth President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson and what was going through his mind as the Commander and Chief. United States Engineers in World War ,I was very important, because it changed the battlefield for that war and future wars to come.Building of a Corp from low numbers to thousands.When the nation was in need of numbers many patriots answered the call. The goals of this paper is to give a full viewpoint on the labor and many accomplishments that the Engineers had succeeded in.

During the conference, I was interested in the presentation by Zita Dove and Dean MacMullin about working at the Defense Construction Canada (DCC). Zita Dove was explaining the company that they work for and how they have 33 work sites with almost 1000 people working at those sites. The DCC is a construction company who works for the Department of National Defense (DND). The DND contracts the DCC to do their construction. Since the DCC works for the DND they are working in a security zone. The construction sites are within the military grounds. With the construction being on military rounds the workers need to have the specific security clearance needed to enter the grounds they are working on.

“ a secondary place among policy priorities” (Barratt, 2008, 121). It was only under Axworthy that the Canadian “gave an added boost to the status of human rights” (Barratt, 2008, 122). The use of aid to promote human rights is aligned with Canada’s mission to promote “human security goals” (Barratt, 2008, 130). In most cases, “certainly human rights have played a role in punitive aid measures against specific aid recipients” (Barratt, 2008, 132). As in all areas of foreign aid, Canada has made “attempts to steer a middle course between many competing policy imperatives” (Barratt, 2008, 160).

With the constant discovery of scientific principles and new engineering designs, the responsibility often lies in the hands of engineers to decide what is in the best interest of the public. Millions of people around the world use products and structures developed by engineers, every day. Before accepting work from a client, it is important that engineers have a good understanding of their own personal limitations. If work is accepted that they are “not competent to perform by virtue of [their] training and experience” , there is a clear disregard for public welfare and potential for a serious safety hazard. It is again evident that the

Doctors Without Borders is a medical humanitarian organization founded in 1971 by a group of French doctors and journalists who wanted to expand access to health care all around the world. Their sole aim was to deliver medical help regardless of race, religion or political affiliations.

Imagine an entire community of individuals, from doctors to massage therapists, that does not answer to any political entity or religion, yet still manages to collectively provide free healthcare services to millions of individuals in need every year. Medecins Sans Frontiers, or popularly known in the US as Doctors Without Borders, is an international NGO that does just that. The organization began in 1971 when a group of French doctors and journalists recognized the dire need for assistance in healthcare during times of war, famine, and flood in Nigeria and Pakistan. Since then, it has expanded and provides aid to over 60 countries in underserved regions across Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia as

Engineering Inspection & Insurance Company (EIIC) was founded in 1952 by Warren Rodman. Before 1990, they was a small but highly successful company that offers machinery and insurance services. After years of above average growth and profits, they are moving backward from the industry average, policy delivery times are excessive and morale is low. They need to change their current strategy as it is no longer effective. The issues they are facing is not only internal but also face the challenges from the external environment.

To the ASME, improving the general welfare of society through the utilization of the specialized skills of engineers is highly stressed. One must consider the possible consequences of actions and decide the best course of action to benefit the safety and health of the public. The ASME

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me food to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in. Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.” -Mother Teresa. Based on the reality of what is happening in Zimbabwe, the United Nations created the Zupin Organization in order to assist and mitigate the problems that are occurring today. The Zupin Organization’s goal is to raise awareness of Zimbabwe as they are in greater needs, and to help the unemployed and the poor there as well. Doing so by donating gently used clothes and non-perishable foods. By putting love into giving, people gain more than just the gifts. They gain hope and love. That’s what this organization plans to accomplish, because giving is always more fulfilling than receiving. The Zupin Organization is dedicated to provide help to the unemployed in Zimbabwe by effectively providing non-perishable foods and gently used clothing through donations to the unemployed and the slums of the midlands of Zimbabwe. Zupin is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) created with a budget of $10,000. This organization had an idea that instead of buying the clothes and food, When creating Zupin,
