Engineering Disaster Civil Engineers build significant structures that can last more than a century‚ some of these structures such as Burj Khalifa‚ pyramids and evil towers in France can be considered as landmarks‚ because of its history and its beauty of design. Civil Engineers study the four factors of building structures to determine which tools and materials they will use in order to build permanent structures. Although engineers studying the factors and take the determination‚ there is some

Genetic engineering is a powerful and potentially very dangerous tool. To alter the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism‚ can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefits can be huge. Before advances in genetic applications‚ gene therapy was unheard of and genetic defects were always inherited‚ plaguing generations. Today genetic testing is widely available‚ such as prenatal karyotyping of chromosomes to check for genetic abnormalities

A world in which we would be able to choose our children’s physical appearance‚ cognitive abilities‚ and aptitudes would not be a thing of the past anymore. These twisting complexities of our human life will not just be an easy switch. It is not something that will just come about with no major repercussions or serious consequences.

The Not So Perfect Human Many technological advances have come in recent years. One of which is the scientific research of genetic engineering. They have found ways to fix genetic mutations‚ cure diseases‚ and even just improve a child’s athletic or intellectual ability. Genetic Scientists are trying to genetically engineer children in the womb‚ but genetic engineering is an inferior practice because of the safety‚ financial‚ and ethical issues. First‚ as our society gets closer and closer to genetic

09/18/12 Introduction to Engineering Design Engineering design is the process of devising a system‚ component‚ or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative)‚ in which the basic science and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Engineering Design Process The engineering design process is the formulation of a plan to help an engineer build
