Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. The title “civil engineering” was first used about 1750 by John Smeaton‚ an English engineer. Civil engineers plan and supervise the construction of buildings‚ bridges‚ waterways‚ streets‚ highways and sewerage systems. Other civil engineering projects include railroads‚ tunnels‚ dams‚ canals‚ airports and irrigation systems. Civil engineering should be familiar with the many materials used in the structures he builds. Materials

Electronics engineering‚ [1] also referred to as electronic engineering[2][3] is an engineering discipline which uses the scientific knowledge of the behavior and effects of electrons to develop components‚ devices‚ systems‚ or equipment (as in electron tubes‚ transistors‚ integrated circuits‚ and printed circuit boards) that uses electricity as part of its driving force. Both terms denote a broad engineering field that encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power‚ instrumentation

An engineering champion for Christ will possess the ability to thrive during his academic career and to improve his engineering problem solving capabilities. He will have a deep understanding of the engineering problems he will encounter in the real world. Through the application of the concepts and theories he has been presented with during his academic career‚ he will be able to solve the problems he will be faced with as an engineer. He will embrace the concepts and theories taught in class and

Genetic Engineering is a scientific process that has recently come a long way. Within the past four years of the twentieth century we have witnessed the most rapid adoption of a new technology in history. Millions of acres of farmland have been planted with genetically engineered crops since 1996. The crops consist mainly of corn‚ soybeans‚ and cotton. Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to insert specific genes into plants and/or animals. Also‚ species are very easily crossed using genetic

Genetic Engineering Do you think that Genetic engineering is a positive step in our development? Many people think that genetic engineering is the next step in the evolution of humanity and has many benefits. However‚ genetic engineering presents unprecedented ethical and social concerns‚ such as damaging nature‚ limiting human autonomy and risking to human health. First of all‚ genetic engineering can cause widespread crop failure affecting the natural environment. Nowadays‚ many people think

place‚ scientists‚ specifically biologists‚ are becoming keener to the field of engineering. Genetic engineering that is. When one thinks of “genetic engineering‚” the first thought is probably a perfect child‚ or paradoxically some inconceivable creature‚ forged under the microscope in a scientific laboratory. Though both of these are genetic engineering‚ many people do not consider other things‚ such as genetic engineering of agriculture and medicine‚ both of which are extremely useful. Through the

Professor Elizabeth Kraske SCIN130 Introduction to Biology September 18 2013 Genetic Engineering After bringing myself up to date with some further research on genetic engineering or also referred to as genetic modification‚ here are some of my thoughts on the pros and cons. But before we jump right into it‚ I should tell you a little about what genetic engineering is. Genetic engineering refers to a set of technologies that are being used to change the genetic makeup of cells. You hear

Imagine for a second that you are sitting in a hospital room. Your loved one has been admitted to the emergency room and is hooked up to an ekg monitor which is the only device monitoring them while the doctors and nursing staff leave to see other patients. Not many people think of the Biomedical engineer who built this device‚ and even less people consider the virtues that engineer learned in their undergraduate degree. Consider the outcomes of this scenario if the person who built that device
