Soil mechanics is one of the new disciplines of civil engineering‚ concerning the study of soil. It gathers data and provides the theoretical base for analysis in geotechnical engineering. In earlier times‚ constructions were built based on assumptions. After some important foundation-related engineering problems‚ example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ engineers

Impact of Undergraduate Research Experience in Engineering ANDREW L. ZYDNEY Department of Chemical Engineering University of Delaware encouraged the development of a number of programs to involve students in research at predominantly undergraduate institutions. Faculty mentors generally agree that there are significant educational benefits to the undergraduate research experience [5‚ 7]. Students are thought to develop expertise in a specific area of specialization‚ gain a better understanding

Final Paper Sociological Theory Genetic Engineering The debate program I chose was Intelligence Squared and was on the Prohibition of Genetically Engineered Babies. The debate was mediated by John Donvan and took place in February 2013. The two views were for and against the prohibition of genetically modifying the human genome. To start off the debate two debaters on each side stated their case. For prohibiting were Sheldon Krimsky‚ a professor at Tuft’s University and chair of The Genetic

1. It’s easy to get your first job Electrical engineering students fairly easy find their first job because most employers in electrical field search for fresh mind‚ with fresh knowledge and at the same time they get young people they can mold to their own specific needs and make experts out of them. 2. You can work in another country Working as electrical engineer opens you lots of opportunities in other countries. Laws of math‚ electricity and physics are universal and your gained knowledge

What is Chemical and Process Engineering? The branch of Engineering which is concerned with processes in which materials undergo a required change in composition‚ energy content or physical state at a reasonable cost and in the safest possible manner. History of Chemical Engineering For all intents and purposes the chemical engineering profession began in 1888. While‚ the term "chemical engineer" had been floating around technical circles throughout the 1880’s‚ there was no formal education

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
