    The STEM field is no stranger to advancement and innovation. In a thriving age of technology and science, one could argue that the United States (and many countries throughout the world) have progressed a long way from the outdated technologies that were used in past decades. Yet, despite the vast progress made in the stem fields, the demographics of STEM workers are still highly outdated with its lack of racial and gender diversity. As a result of the growing number of jobs in STEM, organizations

    turns mechanical energy into electrical energy (Olivier 2015). A generator is usually either AC( alternating-current) or DC( direct current). An AC basic principle is that the coil rotates mechanically in a uniform magnetic field; this magnetic field then induces an electrical field. Due to a part of the coil always being connected to the same slip ring and brush it can be said that the brush is sometimes negative and sometimes positive (Olivier 2015). Although it’s easier and cheaper to use AC

    dges The wedges that hold the rotor winding in the slots are sometimes also complex in design, but always highly stresses. The wedges must hold the copper winding and its insulation systems in place at high rotational speeds and allow cooling gas to pass through them. This one reason why at the wedges there are higher stresses. The wedges generally have cooling vents machined into them, which reduces their effective strength. High cooling gas temperatures can also affect wedge strength if the temperatures

    Introduction: The purpose of this practical assessment task is to inform students about the STEM crisis , the importance of STEM and how to create awareness of the current situation at hand. The current focus question of this practical assessment is how will the shortage of science skills and workers affect south Africa? I focused on where one can apply for further enrichment in science (eg: University); what the role of science is in day-to-day life; any economic uses; threats to the future of

    Football Versus Baseball Multiple sports have concepts in common, but not identical principles. All sports require hard work and dedication, but not all sports require a ball. Another big difference in sports is the regulation changes from the professional leagues to high school leagues. Sports variations in high school also depend on the size of high school that you attend. Football and baseball in high school have their similarities, but definitely have their variations specific to the game

    Looking back on World War I from a modern day perspective depicts a time of hardship and despair, but from the European viewpoint at the time WWI was a time filled with hope. The early twentieth century was a time that promoted national development in Europe, this desire motivated many countries to attempt expansion in order to prove their power. This caused tensions to rise between conflicting nations, which then produced two competing forces to arise. Each alliance went into World War I with the

    a significant change in the fringe pattern between the two colours when the magnetic field is at different values. The Zeeman effect is when light from a gaseous light source travels through an external applied magnetic field, and spectral lines split into symmetrically distributed components around the position of the zero field (also known as the “parent” line). This was investigated by creating a magnetic field and observing the fringes produced by the light source through a lens and colour filter

    over Europe—all paid for by his company. When he returns home after a week or two in Europe, he goes back to his regular routine, where he gets his work done on his own watch and gets a 6-figure salary. I often talk to my dad about the engineering field and how different types of engineering jobs are related. I gathered that basically all engineers travel a lot and have all work expenses covered by his/her company. Also, many engineers get to see everything their company produces before it is released

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION Airport security is currently seen as one of the biggest inconveniences attributed to travel. However a brief look back in history to some of the conditions frequent flyers were subjected to makes modern air travel look like a breeze. Some of the earliest attempts at flying required an excess of manpower. Leonardo da Vinci is credited to be the first to design basic flying machines called ornithopters, that gave man mechanical wings. Through a system of pulleys the wings could

    singing. You probably do not know what those three things have in common. You may have a rough idea, but not anything about where it was, or what happened there. Here is what I think about when given these three ideas: a Luke Bryan concert at Wrigley Field. Many people groan at the thought of country music, however many others, along with artists, love the sound of country music. As Maren Morris beautifully serenades in her hit,"My Church", "I find my soul revival, singing every single verse. Yeah, I
