Chemical Engineering Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design and operation of industrial chemical plants. I have been interested in chemical engineering at a young age because I have plenty of engineers in my family. I was influenced by my family to go into engineering because I witnessed how much my family worked‚ and how much it is able to support my family. Becoming an engineer ensures me of a stable job‚ and I will be financially stable. Chemical engineering is

Olasiman COE001 / 10:30-11:30 July 21‚ 2014 What is the importance of Civil Engineering? According to my research‚ civil engineering started between 4000 - 2000 BC in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. When humans decided to build their permanent houses‚ the construction of shelter began. Therefore‚ civil engineering considered as one of the oldest field in engineering and is the broadest of the all engineering professions. Civil engineer works to enhance the infrastructures around us like roads

EFFECT OF JOINT ROUGHNESS ON SHEAR STRENGTH OF JOINT IN GRANITE Introduction Shear strength is the extreme shear strength where a material can support before rapture. Based on Lama and Vutukuri (1978)[1]‚ it is one of the critical aspects used for designing purpose. There is no doubt that joint is a main factor that leads to failure in every rocks type including granite. In granite‚ shear strength is one of the main characteristic that needs to be determined in order to classify its strength and

Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Testing of a Fine Grained Soil Introduction A consolidated undrained triaxial test was carried out by 16 separate groups to give a broad appreciation of soil behaviour by plotting the resulting effective stress paths. Results To determine the value of Skempton’s B‚ the cell pressure was increased by 100kpa. The value of B indicates whether the sample is saturated or not; a value approaching 1 is expected for a fully saturated material. The change in pore water

Site investigation and the selection of a suitable site for construction. 1. Site selection Before purchasing a land for building construction‚ it is mandatory to conduct a thorough survey to make sure that the characteristics of the proposed site suit the development concept. In the site selection process‚ the following things should be carefully examined. Refer to ordnance survey maps to determine the nearby features such as location

Literature Review Kevin‚ this is largely unfinished with some of the journals which I have written about not being relevant. My main basis of literature review will be on Terzaghi‚ vesic‚ a thesis‚ and lau and Bolton. Terzaghi‚ K. (1943). Theoretical soil mechanics. New York: Wiley In this book‚ Terzaghi introduces the idea of bearing capacities‚ the critical load over a given area which a soil takes to fail. The concept of bearing capacities became fundamental in determining the ultimate

My answer is simple: it’s the fact that engineering is a creative enterprise‚ one that requires intense imagination and sometimes lots of sweat‚ blood and tears. The greatest inventors of the past were creative‚ intelligent thinkers who imagined solutions. This to me embodies engineering today. As a software engineer‚ I’m called upon to answer difficult technical problems that involve creating solutionsthat require innovation and invention. Engineers are modern-day inventors. Engineers simply think

Neil Armstrong’s "one small step for man" on the moon would not have been possible if it was not for the aerospace engineers who designed the rocket that got him there. Engineers take scientific principles and theories and apply them to practical situations. Aerospace engineers are the engineers who design‚ create‚ and test aircraft‚ spacecraft‚ and missiles. They also supervise the production of these products. They work with‚ and help develop‚ some of the most advanced technologies on the planet
