The Importance Of A Career In Mechanical Engineering Technology

I believe engineering is the path to a better world. My interest in engineering really took hold when I joined the FIRST Robotics Club (Tractor Technicians) as a Sophomore and made the drive team: a drive team consists of four teammates who represent their club on the competition floor. We built, programmed, and tested our robot for months. The most incredible part of this experience was witnessing a single hand on a keyboard control our entire robot that I helped build. The intensity of the competition can be compared to that of a soccer game. However, instead of sprinting and kicking, we use our minds and engineering principles to analyze the situation and fix or improve issues that present themselves. Similarly, I would like to apply this trouble shooting mentality to more important issues. After robotics, I took the initiative to pursue an online computer science class. This class has proven to be more challenging than I anticipated, however, the growth I have seen in myself is exceptional. This rewarding experience has increased my interest in the field of engineering. I have also taken the opportunity to get real-world experience through a work study program in the IT/IS department on Kwajalein. I assist technicians in the field as we repair and replace computers and printers. These experiences and relationships have widened my perspective of the engineering and technology

I am very much interested in the field of engineering and hope to pursue a career in engineering sometime in the future. Although I haven’t decided which branch of engineering I want to pursue yet, my experiences as an engineering magnet student at Wheaton High school and the different engineering programs I am a part of have ignited within me a passion for engineering.

When I decided to become an engineer, I thought hard on what that entailed. I saw myself working on hands on projects with a skill and proficiency that I could truly be proud of. That's why after listening to the presentation for Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology in my freshman year here at Texas A&M I knew that this major was the best fit for me. The mentioning of learning how to manufacture and produce things from conception to finished product was very exciting to me. I also appreciate that the education is very application oriented rather than just teaching theoretical content. I feel that this directly prepares one for a future career in industry and this sense of job security is what really attracted me to this engineering

From a young age, I have been fascinated by making things and learning how they work. My educational experience and community service projects have given me an appreciation for engineering from project managing and constructing my Eagle Scout project to enjoying my chemistry and physic classes. I plan on obtaining a degree in Engineering because I enjoy taking something from conception to production and I am interested in the science and math behind

Staring at engine components of a car as well as holding a smartphone with almost unbelievable thickness fascinated me in many ways indirectly leaded me into getting to know more through different sources about machines ranging from transportation to communication devices. Two years of A-level preparation, further solidified my interest in this area as I found myself very fond of learning mathematics, physics and mechanics in particular. In addition, my curiosity in the operation and dynamics of objects naturally influences my choice of degree, leading me towards Engineering as it is a discipline which satisfy my own interest and most probably bring out the best of me.

Next year, I plan to major in Computer Engineering and begin a career helping make the world a better place through innovative technology. I realized my talents for math and sciences during freshman year of high school, and remember the exact moment I knew engineering was meant for me. While exploring the engineering shop at my vocational technical high school, the teacher showed my class a video of MIT students designing prosthetic limbs for amputees. It was then that I realized I could use my love of math and science to really help people.

The education needed is a high school diploma or equivalent. Courses that have these skills in them would be helpful;blueprint reading,shop mathematics,mechanical physics,chemistry and metallurgy.(Occupational Outlook Handbook.)

I constantly daydream about my future career and what I could expect with it, but sometimes I don’t realize that I wont know much about the job until I actually try it out. As my research on the SECME sponsors and my own personal experiences have shown, engineering extends beyond the lab. It's not hard to see how my future career can have profound effects on the lives of many others. For example, I could one day use new technology developed by engineers to make the process of saving someone’s life a lot easier and have better survival odds. Or possibly someday we could use robotic technology to help people walk again. Although I would not be making this new kind of technology myself, it would be amazing if I could use it to change someone’s life. It's mind-blowing how far a career in STEM can take me and others who are willing to pursue these kinds of

There were several careers in this cluster that caught my eye but I believe the job for me would be to become a Manufacturing manager. Overall Manufacturing Managers need to know how things are made. These people are Usually hands on with things and I like being hands on. Manufacturing manager and engineering are closely related to each other and most Managers did engineering.

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

Which essential innovation came first, the wheel or the road? Well, that answer depends on who is asked. This question has been a common debate among engineers for a very long time; in fact, it might be as old as or older than the chicken and egg debate. A mechanical engineer might argue that the wheel had to have come first while a civil engineer would argue the opposite. Why has this been such a huge debate? Who is right? These are questions I have pondered for a while. I’ve always wondered why these specific engineers have argued about these specific items. Growing up with a mechanical engineer as a dad, I was raised with the knowledge that the wheel came first. When I was younger I just went along with my dad’s answer and never asked him to support his claim. I also didn’t know any civil engineers so I never heard the opposing view. Even though I’ve always been on the side of the wheel, I have never been absolutely sure. When Dr. Almeda asked us to choose a question we really cared about I thought of this topic immediately. One day I would like to become a mechanical engineer, and I might be faced with this question from an interviewer or a client. Through the research I am going to conduct I will hopefully find the answer. I started my research by interviewing/emailing a mechanical and civil engineer.

The next four years of my life will determine the direction of my future. In the near future, I plan to go to college to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. With this degree I hope to become a person who has the necessary skills and knowledge to find innovative ways to solve problems. Advancements in technology revolutionize the way people interact on a day-to-day basis. Someone must be bold enough to lead teams of thinkers to view reality as it can be, instead of accepting present limitations.

The boundless possibilities and prompt outcomes are what I find most energizing and alluring about Industrial Engineering. I have a great interest towards the industrial environment and this is the reason I am looking to pursue Master’s in Industrial Engineering. The factor in the recent times is that there have been huge changes in Design Engineering and Global Industrialization making the position of an Industrial Engineer a very essential one. Being part of this rapidly flourishing community has been my ultimate desire.

I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.

I would spend hours together experimenting and analyzing various mechanics around me like the ball bearings in my bicycle & roller skates and would be fascinated by my spring loaded toy cars. During my higher secondary schooling, I showed special interest in mathematics and physical sciences and in order to supplement the education that I received in school, I became a habitual reader of science magazines and books. As a direct consequence of this, I came to know about the latest developments in the field of science and engineering, especially aerospace and manufacturing engineering as it deeply interested me and I was naturally inclined to like the subject. The basics I learnt in school only whetted my appetite for more learning. It was but natural I would choose to take up manufacturing engineering as a career choice when I joined
