S.T.E.M FEAR can be defined as the unpleasant emotions which deter an individual from engaging in activities in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering or Math. S.T.E.M. fear is believed to be one of the main causes of the gender disparity seen in STEM careers worldwide. This discrepancy has become a rising concern in the USA where woman account for half (50.8%) of the entire population. Studies show that although women currently account for half the population, their presences in STEM fields

one day I read an article titled “Print Me a Pancreas, Please” in Popular Science, which described novel tissue engineering research involving modification of off-the-shelf inkjet printers to print out living cells in a “bioink” solution. Having read much about tissue engineering, I realized this “organ printing” approach could potentially address problems of traditional tissue engineering methods, such as the need to precisely place specific cell types in 3D scaffolds. I was so excited that I came

There are three questions being asked in utilitarianism approach. First, what is the supreme principle of morality? In this case, as stated in the book, utilitarianism is consequentialist moral theory which focused on consequences that promote the good for the greatest number of people (Harper 23). By analyzing a case study about nuclear weapon, there is not many good consequences for majority of people. Nuclear weapon project does provide some new jobs for unemployed or currently employed, but that

One invaluable experience that I’ve gained over the years was my participation in the Engineering Scholars Program at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). This program allowed high school students, like myself, to take one engineering-related college course over the summer during an accelerated three-week time frame. The course that I chose to take was called Biomedical Engineering, and it changed my fundamental interests and perspectives forever. This course was my first taste of a real college

world, there are numerous constraints and limitations that come into play when we are forced to integrate our design into a functioning tool. Many times, on large projects, I’m working with different groups and subcontractors. When I release an engineering drawing, I have to understand that it must cooperate well with other parts of the project. This takes a lot of coordination with different disciplines, and at times poses limitations on your design that would otherwise not be present. In my experience

In “Value Sensitive Design and Nanotechnology” by Ronald Sandler, Sandler explains the process engineers must consider while they design a technology. Sandler introduces technology and its relationship with society. He points out that some technologies are welcomed by society and may solve world issues while others are resisted by society because they may cause problems. Sandler then observes the dependency humans have on technology. He talks about how important technology is to the survival

results in slippery floor. The factory may be kept in bad repairs, condition of stairs and ladder is bad. One important of cause of Industrial Accidents is the deficiency in engineering ethics. When the engineers do not perform their duties according to their jobs requirement, then there is always a danger of accident or engineering catastrophe. So the primary causes of Industrial

the field of science and technology always fascinated and motivated me to opt for engineering. To meet the best possible grades in my career, I expect to continue my knowledge hunt in an esteemed university which enhances the growth of my interest. The challenges of developing new and better materials to meet demanding needs, keeps a material science engineer at the cutting edge of technology. Mechanical engineering by itself has many subjects in the course module and if I wanted an in depth understanding

The Ngarrindjeri nation arrays across the South East section of South Australia; as seen in Figure 1. Figure 1: Map of the Ngarrindjeri Nation (Horton, 1996) The Ngarrindjeri is an Aboriginal nation is made up of 18 tribes, extending 30km along the river Murray (slsa SA gov, 2012). Having been ushered to leave their land, the Ngarrindjeri people were greatly affected by white settlement. Culture within the Ngarrindjeri nation is central to water specifically being the Coorong and River Murray

back to Frank's Engineering Services Department with a caustic note that began, "This one can't be produced, either. . . ." It was the fourth time Production had kicked the design back. Frank Forbus, director of engineering for Rondell Data Corp., was normally a quiet man. But the Model 802 was stretching his patience; it was beginning to look just like other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to production
