threatening our existence today‚ hence renewable energy is poised to restore hope back to the world. It is my willful desire to do masters in renewable energy engineering as this provides an excellent basis for the application of alternative energy resources that will help balance our ecosystem ones again. My interest in renewable energy engineering blossomed during my high school days‚ as i noticed the epileptic power supply in the country which prompted a lot of persons to purchase standby generators

Project Summary: This engineering project was about a variety of elements that pertain to a “home-made” turbine. The main purpose of the turbine project was to design and construct a turbine using material around the lab‚ while maintaining the project requirements. The turbine was to be completed in one week‚ where it would be ready to be tested for power‚ stiffness‚ and weight. Everyone in the group would have to work together to make sure the turbine would be completed on time. In addition to

engineered child’s future offspring may be affected or if they will be affected at all. In the movie Gattaca each embryo had to be genetically modified‚ therefore the "perfect genetics" are not able to be passed on to each generation naturally. Engineering genetics also decreases the chance of mutations. Genetic mutations are often associated with negative effects. However‚ mutations in the genetic code can be a positive thing. An article on the Tech Museum of Innovation website explains “Over time
