In building construction and in fire prevention there are organizations that have created a useful system on how to determine what type of building falls under which category. The ICC (International Code Council) and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) create these building codes for the safety of firefighters. The two most commonly known standards for building classifications are the NFPA 5000 and also the International Building Code (IBC). The two are very similar‚ however‚ they different

Global warming is an increase in the earth’s surface temperature that has affected numerous life forms on the earth. The source of global warming is the release of more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ resulting in the greenhouse effect. Now let me talk about why global warming is the threat to living things. 1. What is the difference between a. and a. Melting Icebergs As the earth warms‚ the icebergs at the North and South Poles melt‚ making it more difficult

Mechanical Engineering students should expect to find careers in manufacturing‚ fabrication‚ research and development‚ and service industries. The students should be very capable in mathematics and the physical sciences. This is essential to be successful in any engineering field. Mechanical engineers should be mechanical inclined and should be able to think “outside the box”. The students should be a great problem solver and critical thinker‚ and also be a calm and laid back person that can handle

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties‚ the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel‚ or even the cars we travel in‚ it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution

will discuss the infrastructure management of the Storm Water Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) of Kuala Lumpur‚ Malaysia. This tunnel was built mainly to cater to the reoccurring flash floods that happened in the area‚ and to act as an alternate traffic route. It began construction in 2003 and was operational early 2007. A structure of such magnitude required in-depth designing and precise construction methods to ensure that the structure would be able to fulfill its desired purposes. As
