and the hotel’s kitchens and bars: drawing approximately 1000kVA from the national grid and directing it through hundreds of individual switches and control units built into one central console. I picked up my pencil- this was not an electrical engineering exam at school: instead of lounging at the beach with my friends‚ I had chosen to spend my summer at Specialised Power Systems (“SPS”)‚ designing and building Mr. Rowleys‘s switchboard. As the engineers and I gathered around and started to draft

Biology Essay Genetic Engineering‚ also called Genetic Modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Humans have altered the genomes of species for thousands of years through artificial selection and more recently mutagenesis. Genetic Engineering as the direct manipulation of DNA by humans outside breeding and mutations has only existed

Virtues in Engineering William F. May said of the expert: “He had better be virtuous. Few may be in a position to discredit him. The knowledge explosion is also an ignorance explosion; if knowledge is power‚ then ignorance is powerlessness” (Harris 30). In the context of engineering‚ this places engineers in a very special position. Because of this power‚ which few may ever possess‚ it becomes necessary for engineers to be virtuous or posses certain attributes for the welfare of the public

Engineering dilemma. ‘Engineering ethics’ refer to the ethical issues involved in the engineering profession. Ethics are concerned with moral decisions in professional behaviour. Whilst morality generally refers to any aspect of human action‚ ethics is concerned with making the ‘right’ decisions in a professional context. Engineering ethics and consideration of the impact of engineering on the environment are issues of relevance and importance to any engineer or engineering student. Ethics is concerned

The Romans seemed to have done well for themselves when it came to technology and engineering. Perhaps‚ you can say that they have a “knack” for it. The had created so many things from water lines to engineering roads in order to make it easier to get from place to place rather than having to either go by ship or by foot. The Romans had created water lines that they could use for drinking water fountains and private water systems to use for hygiene and etc. They had also created functioning

close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering‚ a similar specialty‚ in my Master’s program. It may well be asked why I maintain such a close affinity with petroleum. The answer is simple and straightforward—because I was born and I grew up on an oil field and I have cherished a deep love for all that it represent. Even as a child‚ I had a habit of watching for hours how beam-pumping
