All of the experience I have attained at The Ohio State University and as an Electrician’s Mate has given me the skills and knowledge to thrive in an Electrical Engineering program and the Civil Engineer
In my own life application, I believe I could effectively use informatics to help me in my current role by utilizing databases to query for business analysis to save my company money. In my current job I am responsible for managing operation cost and finding ways to cut our outgoing spending while capitalizing our end profits. With informatics, I want to learn how to develop a system for our network that tracks our profitability and compares our operating cost in real time. This system would have to be complex but what I hope to take away from this class is a better understanding of how systems work so I can take my idea to our IT team and see if we can make my system a reality. After having worked with computers for the past three years,
I need to become an civil engineer if I want to help save the earth, and university is the first step toward that
Engineering combines these disciplines and applies them to solve real life problems. That is exactly what I am looking for and that is precisely why I will study
I understood at a young age that success only comes through hard work and perseverance. My father always said that to be successful in college it takes 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. My collegiate studies at the University of Arizona have provided a firm foundation in knowledge on conserving our natural resources. Pursuing a Master’s degree will help increase my understanding to the next level and discover novel solutions to impending natural resource
I look forward to helping students to develop a drive for personal academic excellence and a rich perspective on the world around them as they explore links between the individual, society, and the natural world. The potential of secondary geography is to stimulate an interest in the wider world through learning knowledge, both in and beyond the classroom, and acquiring geographical and transferable skills to last a lifetime. I am currently studying a broad-based geography degree ranging from economic to cultural geography, but also including staples of classroom geography including development, coastal processes and volcanology. My subject knowledge is strong and wide-ranging and aligned to both current GCSE and A-Level specifications and
The Engineering Management program at ST.Cloud state University aligns perfectly with my academic and career goals. I am particularly attracted to the program's comprehensive curriculum, which offers a holistic approach to engineering management, encompassing areas such as project management, operations research, financial analysis, and innovation management. Moreover, I am drawn to the exceptional faculty at ST.Cloud state University, renowned for their expertise and contributions to the field. The opportunity to learn from their wealth of knowledge and engage in cutting-edge research and industry partnerships greatly excites me.
It was an intuitive decision for me to choose what I would like to study at university. I want to pursue geography because it is a comprehensive subject which enables us to find resolutions to global issues. Personally, I am concerned with the dire issue of climate change and its implications on the wider world, especially because of human activities which have exacerbated the scale of our climate crisis. If it is not prevented now, it will transform the future of both humanity and the physical environment.
Geology is the fundamental basis in understanding our earth and the processes which occur within it. Studying the physical side of geography at GCSE level, investigating the make-up of the earth and researching in regards to volcanism and tectonic activity inspired my interest in studying geology. I was introduced to A-level geology with practical work which strengthened the foundation of my knowledge of the subject; having a hands on approach with rocks and minerals. Soon, I was able to interpret paelo-environments using geological laws, rock types and fossils; this was engaging for me as the order in which the rocks were lithified and altered by other processes could be put together like a jigsaw puzzle; this stretched my understanding of the subject further.
The St. Francis dam was a big learning moment for engineers in the US, and perhaps across the world. The dam collapsed due to lack of clear knowledge of geology and engineering, along with other ethical issues. While engineers in the 1920’s didn’t have advanced knowledge of engineering and geology as we do now, but there were still innovative ways that would’ve allowed them to study the project. The biggest engineering failure from the St. Francis dam was the lack, there little of, geotechnical study of the project site. Understanding the soil type and properties is a major component of the engineering design and construction process.
GPR is a time consuming method of geophysical surveying (Geophysics Techniques n.d.), but it is detailed, and also allows for three dimensional maps of an area of potential archaeological interest to be produced, showing the depth of an area, and at what depth the archaeological features can be found (Renfrew and Bahn 2012: 98). Like ground resistivity surveys, this method of geophysics can be used in more urbanised areas with great effect (Geophysics Techniques n.d.), making it a more useful method of geophysical survey than magnetic surveys for more urbanised
For the purpose of this paper I decided to look into a career as a Geoscientist. I did this for a couple of reasons. One is, I have always had an interest in Geology and second, I discovered that to become a Geoscientist, one needs only to have a Bachelor’s degree with coursework in Geology. At my age it’s a scary thought to change careers, but there are many overlaps between being a geoscientist and my current career as a Production Analyst / Data Analyst. A large portion of the job is the Data.
Improving Online Faculty Engagement within SCIN 100 Erica Barrow EDCI 531 – Final Synthesis Paper Spring 2017 Purdue University Introduction Ivy Tech Community College offers a statewide online earth science course (SCIN 100) to students throughout Indiana and across the globe. SCIN 100 is a survey-style introductory science course focusing on concepts within the fields of geology, meteorology, and oceanography. The majority of students taking SCIN 100 are non-science majors fulfilling a required science elective within their respective programs. All students taking online SCIN 100 follow the same curriculum, schedule, and course objectives regardless of their home campus. The vast majority of instructors teaching the online SCIN 100 course are adjunct (part-time) faculty.
Chorley said “Whenever anyone mentions theory to a geomorphologist, he instinctively reaches for his soil auger” (R.J Chorley 1978). Physical geographers are viewed as always being out in the field doing their own research and not sitting
Dashrath Manjhi (1934– 17 August 2007), also known as Mountain Man, was a poor labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India, who carved a path 110 m long, 9.1 m wide and 7.6 m deep through a hillock using only a hammer and chisel. After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55 km to 15 km. This is just one instance that illustrates the magic power of Civil Engineering in effecting radical social and economic changes. From the very outset, it is precisely this magic power of Civil Engineering that has fascinated me as a scientific discipline.
