Endless possibilities in Genetic Engineering Within a short period of time‚ genetic engineering has turned into one of the biggest growth areas in scientific research. It appears regularly in the media although the general public has no idea the meaning. It is currently one of the most sensitive areas of ethical debate. We are growing day by day in the increase of scientific discoveries. “The federal budget in 2003 included $24.8 million dollars for human embryonic stem cell research-up

Nuclear engineering is a wide field that covers important subjects of study from the disposal of nuclear fuel and waste to the maintenance of systems such as nuclear reactors‚ plants‚ and even weapons (Shiori‚ “Nuclear Engineering Education”). Although the amount of advances has been minimal over the years‚ nuclear engineering is still a stable field of study and necessary for a highly civilized country to prosper.

I chose to study Mechanical Engineering because; they say it is the mother of all engineering. Be it Electrical engineering‚ chemical engineering‚ civil engineering without mechanical engineering all of this branches of engineering are useless. Our daily live is almost impossible to live without components that are made up of mechanical part. The pencil we use is been operated by the help of a simple mechanical design. All of these simple mechanical ideas have either made people rich‚ countries have

APPLICATION OF CHEMICAL SENSORS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING A chemical sensor is a device that transforms chemical information‚ ranging from the concentration of a specific sample component to total composition analysis‚ into an analytically useful signal. The chemical information‚ mentioned above‚ may originate from a chemical reaction of the analyte or from a physical property of the system investigated. Chemical sensors its application in various fields of engineering like civil‚ environment‚ medical‚ biotechnology
