Nuclear engineering

Engineering Disasters Within the confines of a single second your whole world can come crashing down. Throughout history, mankind has been met with sudden disasters at seemingly random turns from faulty bridges, to malfunctioning airplanes and unstable nuclear reactors. Yet, upon examination of the disasters, investigators have uncovered that the seemingly random turn of events had, in reality, occurred as a result of slight mistakes made by the engineers and mechanics that designed the…

Engineering is one of the most sought after and highly paid professions in the US. People consider those who obtain a degree in any engineering field as highly intellectual minds and skilled professionals. Engineering is a tough field which demands a lot of effort hard work from the students but as soon as they are awarded degrees, a world of opportunities comes to their doorstep. If you are a student who aspires to become an engineer, you need to study the right subjects at high school to get…

is professor Henry Petroski. He is a professor in civil engineering, but also he is an author who uses his major to write many great books that talk about engineering. Being an engineering and author at the same time makes him special in my view because in that case he tells people about engineering and about his great experience. Professor Petroski was…

Being a nuclear mechanic supervisor on a submarine in the United States Navy is a very challenging position. This is a very important role to the efficiency and success of the Engineering department. The nuclear mechanic supervisor must be very proficient in planning, organizing, directing, and training. These skills are crucial to ensuring the division runs as efficiently as possible which, in turn, leads to the success and efficiency of the overall Engineering department. It is important to…

Laurie Taxiarchou she answered back to a couple of questions asked about being prepared and what it takes. She said “For petroleum engineers a bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering is preferred, but you can also get in with degrees in Mechanical engineering, Chemical engineering, Chemical engineering or Environmental engineering”. Classes required to become an engineer are algebra, trigonometry, calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics (www.bls.gov). Most of these classes you learn in high…

The Changes of the World. Without engineering many things that we see today wouldn’t even exist. The history of engineering is an important part of the world, it shows how the early engineers thought and how they solved the problems they were having at the time with the technology they had back then. Engineering plays a huge role in today’s society, an engineer spends countless amounts of hours studying to design construct and test many different things. There are many different types of…

field of engineering, figures like Steve Jobs, Nicola Tesla, and Madame Curie crowd the mind. Their monumental inventions clink and clatter in one’s head, reminding the daydreamer of all that’s possible within science. On a smaller level, the people that hold the greatest sway on an individual 's life are usually parents and teachers. Rather than being a distant idol, these people personally inspire others to fulfill their dreams. I have been extremely fortunate to have many brilliant…

has been a large increase in science, engineering, and technology in the workforce. Alabama has also seen the increase in jobs in those fields and is trying to set up its school systems to be stronger in the different areas. The state of Alabama believes that science, engineering, technology, and society are all interdependent and should be taught in a way that shows their connectedness. The position that they stand behind is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education…
