Steve Klehfoth 1/29/01 CIVIL ENGINEERING Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. Civil engineers use their knowledge to supervise and plan construction projects such as roads‚ airports‚ bridges‚ canals‚ tunnels‚ and wastewater systems. They also collaborate with architects to design and construct various types of buildings. Some other civil engineering endeavors include highways‚ airports‚ pipelines‚ railroads‚ levees‚ and irrigation and sewage systems. Civil

Managerial Accounting Case ‘Waltham Motors Division’ Answer 1: Breakeven point If Waltham Motors Division sells 13‚326 units‚ it will breakeven. But why Waltham incurred net losses when it sold more than 13‚326 units in May? The unfavorable cost variances (see answer 2 and 3) and Waltham’s high operating leverage were major reasons for its financial problems. Waltham’s operating leverage is 3.85 times‚ which indicates that the operating income is very sensitive to changes in sales. Answer
Premium Variable cost Costs Direct material price variance

Chemical Engineering In the future I would like to become a chemical engineer. I really enjoy chemistry and hands on work “Chemical engineering is the application of chemistry to large scale industrial systems.” (Chemical engineering). I enjoy helping build different things like skateboards‚ ramps and‚ fixing parts on different things. When I took the sixteen personality quiz it said I was a virtuoso. The virtuoso likes hands on work and exploring ideas which I think fits my personality perfectly

Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the drainage problems arising during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery. The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology‚ applied mathematics‚ and the basic laws of physics and chemistry governing the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil‚ natural gas‚ and water in reservoir rock. Of particular interest to reservoir

Soil mechanics is one of the new disciplines of civil engineering‚ concerning the study of soil. It gathers data and provides the theoretical base for analysis in geotechnical engineering. In earlier times‚ constructions were built based on assumptions. After some important foundation-related engineering problems‚ example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ engineers

Impact of Undergraduate Research Experience in Engineering ANDREW L. ZYDNEY Department of Chemical Engineering University of Delaware encouraged the development of a number of programs to involve students in research at predominantly undergraduate institutions. Faculty mentors generally agree that there are significant educational benefits to the undergraduate research experience [5‚ 7]. Students are thought to develop expertise in a specific area of specialization‚ gain a better understanding

1. It’s easy to get your first job Electrical engineering students fairly easy find their first job because most employers in electrical field search for fresh mind‚ with fresh knowledge and at the same time they get young people they can mold to their own specific needs and make experts out of them. 2. You can work in another country Working as electrical engineer opens you lots of opportunities in other countries. Laws of math‚ electricity and physics are universal and your gained knowledge
