Wald is a reporter for New York Times. He mentioned the reason for why the interstate 35W bridge would collapse into the Mississippi River was because there was a mistake in the bridge’s design.

As a midshipman in the Buccaneer Battalion, I spent the last two years of my Naval ROTC career developing my technical skills to become a nuclear submarine officer. While seeking constant self-improvement is no simple feat, “strategic deterrence” through nuclear capability is a greater purpose that is worth the extra efforts. My greatest satisfaction, as a technical student, is understanding the practical uses of fundamental mathematics and science models. I am seeking a career which holds the challenge
Besides, I have been to College Station twice in 2016 and what I saw, absolutely convinced me that is where I want to acquire my Bachelor’s degree in engineering. The school serenity seems the most perfect for every student that truly want to study and excel in whatever field they chose. Additionally, Texas A&M is placed among the top fifteen engineering colleges in the country. Just recently, in the “Washington Monthly 2016 College Rankings” Texas A&M ranks among the top 10 university in the country
Although Ursula Franklin and Langdon Winner both classify technology in different ways, they bring up many similar points regarding the intersection of power and technology in our everyday life. Franklin’s theory of technology as practice categorizes technology as either prescriptive or holistic in The Real World of Technology, which correlates well with Winner’s idea of technology being created with either authoritarian or democratic motives in The Whale and the Reactor. After reading both arguments
Architecture is the very foundation of mankind, and it has been around almost as long as humans. Many cultures and nations have used it for many purposes. Some purposes include a living place, a burial place, storage, and in many cases a form of art. It has evolved throughout time, each more unique than another. While there were many types of different architecture, many of them follow the same principles. The difference though between some nations architecture is so distinctive that one may
What is technology and how can it be defined? “Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born,” and he would be right (Alan Kay). Nonetheless, it is also much more: cellular devices, internet networks, and social media, but could technology also be a ballpoint pen, door hinges, or an interstate sign? Absolutely, as it does not have to be plugged-in in order to serve a purpose to our daily lives. More specifically, the World Wide Web and social media integrate with our mind and intellectual
A radiologic technologist has a special role in their field. They create the technologist they want to become. As a radiologic technologist the ASRT enforces the code of ethics. There are ten code of ethics of follow in order to be a “professional”. All of them are important but there are three in particular that I find to be superior to the others.

S.T.E.M. is a program that I would be honored to be a part of. I would like to show the academy why I am qualified to be involved, not why I ‘deserve' to associate with this NBTHS program. Science and engineering are fields that I have been intrigued by as a kid. Being the first generation born in the United States, my parents lectured me to do what makes me happy. I naturally tried all kinds of things such as doing at-home science labs and creating a book with a fill-in-the-blanks. As I got older
