Department of Mechanical Engineering Oregon State University Corvallis‚ Oregon 97331 ABSTRACT This paper is a study on the importance of drawing (both formal drafting and informal sketching) during the process of mechanical design. Five hypotheses‚ focused on the types of drawings‚ their necessity in mechanical problem solving‚ and their relation to the external representation medium‚ are presented and supported. Support is through referenced studies in other domains and the results

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

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Name: XYZ Program Applied For: MS in Engineering Management Ever since I was taught how to operate a computer in my school‚ I have been fascinated by the way this small box was able to perform numerous functions in such less time. I still remember the day when my brother taught me how to browse the internet and find the necessary information. I was spellbound at the fact that so much information was only a click away. From then on my curiosity to learn about this device
