Last summer, I was an undergraduate researcher at UNT’s CASCaM. There, I delved into the mind-boggling world of quantum modeling, molding chemical structures like a child would Play-Doh. But I was far beyond the comfort of the classroom – I was in a completely unfamiliar environment, faced with an ocean of alien names, figures, and concepts. I loved it. As I modeled catalysts in lab, I scoured the web at home, filling my browser with papers and Wikipedia articles. Each question sprouted two…

NASCAR technician: Craving for Racing They say it’s not for me, they say it can’t be done, however I plan to prove them wrong. My future plans are to become exactly what they say I cannot, an Automotive Technician specializing in NASCAR racing. Before I can pursue my dream of becoming one of the fastest NASCAR racers I must first have as much knowledge in mechanics as I can. In order to do this, I plan to become certified in the automotive industry. Automotive Engineering Technicians determine…

popular in pediatric hospital intensive care units as a method of weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. It is also aimed at improving patient ventilator synchrony. I plan to explain NAVA and the research of the use of this mode in the pediatric and neonatal units and find if it is more beneficial than other ventilator weaning modes. In the beginning, there was only what was called “controlled mechanical ventilation”, which was basically a set volume of air and amount of breaths that…

I was born and raised in an “urban village” in China, literally village in big city, that developed slower, compared to neighboring areas. I grew up witnessing the transformation of a fast developing city. As I saw the area being surround by high-rise buildings, I started to wonder what made the speed of development vary so much between areas. It did not take long to figure out that transportation was one of the most significant obstacles that hinder the growth of the urban village. In a place…

I want to start off by saying that you are my spirit animal. You may get told that every day, but there is a chance that I am the first and that would be a great honour. Not only is that an honour, but it is an honour to get to talk to you. You are a wildly inspirational man that expresses how I truly think. I am on my school’s robotics team and even though we use mostly metal, I still value to role that woodworking has in America. Most of my team may see wood as being less efficient, but I…

In the EV3 Robotics Project 1, the very first task was forming a team and obtaining a Mindstorm kit. Thanks to my kind team mate, I could develop a good relationship among my team even though my first language is not English. The next task given to my team was to build a Lego robot. The assembling instruction was so simple and easy to understand that we could work together and made it without any errors. To enhance work efficiency, our team decided to facilitate to share an assembling work,…

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University COM 221 – Technical Report Writing - Hybrid Research Plan Done by: Abdulla Bokhammas 1685527 Instructor: John Lamothe The requirement for the Analytical Report states that the topic should be chosen according to the students major. Therefore, as an Electrical Engineering student I have chosen to write about a problem in my major; which is the lack of foundation classes that can help significantly in further major classes. 1. Purpose (what…

My love of science, technology, and innovation made going into engineering a natural choice. Concentrating on the sub-discipline of mechanical engineering was decided based on its broadness, versatility, and the variety of areas I could potentially be a part of. Last year, at the age of thirty-five, I enrolled into college for the first time; seventeen years had passed by since I walked the stage at my high school graduation. The dramatic lifestyle change I made was based on me looking to obtain…

life, as it put me in an environment where I could explore my fascination with everything mechanical. This fascination came from an intrinsic desire that I have to understand how things work, so naturally I channeled that interest and the destructive tendencies of a young boy into taking everything apart that I could get my hands on. Once I was introduced to Lego bricks, my passion for everything mechanical only continued to grow. By the time I was around ten years old I was building everything…

The career I am researching is manufacturing welding. I chose this occupation because I enjoy working with hands-on objects. Manufacturing welders produce a product that people will buy, or they can also identify production problems. Welding is the easiest way to permanently connect two pieces of metal. Their work activities may include controlling machinery, operating vehicles or equipment, and assembling metal or plastic parts. Welders’ tasks may include tending welding machines, inspecting…
