Areas of experience, water floods and CO2 floods field performance and development, hydrocarbon storage caverns, CO2 source fields. The type of work I enjoyed the most was the development and implementation of plans to either improve field performance or expand field production. Nack for working with teams/groups of different backgrounds to achieve a common goal.

) and although BAC and BA stayed fairly similar in stock prices, TSLA dropped almost $80 a share leaving me with massive losses. Unfortunately, nobody could have seen Elon Musk deciding to buy twitter before buying this stock, so I do not believe this would have happened normally and probably would have taken the same route as BAC and BA. According to Figure 8, I would say there are no strategies involved in investing because everyone’s are just scattered and there is no real way of finding the best investment plan. Overall, this will be very useful to keep in mind in the future when making a lot of money from an Engineering job. I learned a lot from this exercise about how volatile the stock

]. Shortly after World War I, there was an increasing classconsciousness within the American Society of Mechanical Engineers which led Thorstein Veblen[36], however erroneously, to posit in Engineers and the Price System that if there were to be aworkers’ revolution in industrial America, it would come via a “Soviet of Technicians.” Layton[37] unpacks Veblen’s errors in reading the power, position, and organization of the engineeringprofession.This internal contradiction has historically led to tensions within groups of engineers, with moremanagerial-minded engineers veering and lobbying for the growth of professional societies,which largely worked to exclude other technical workers as a means to protect the white-collarclass position of engineers
COMPUTER EDUCATION IN CIVILENGINEERING-IS IT WORKING? I. C. GOULTER, DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, R3T 2N2. 39INTRODUCTION The tremendous advancement in computer technology overthe last decade has had a d~rect impact on all fields ofengineering. These advancements have affected not only themanner in which problems are solved but also what problems cannow be solved. These changes, however, have not affected allengineering disciplines to the same degree or in the same way.Of all the engineering fields, Civil Engineering has perhapsbeen the least affected. There have, nevertheless, beensignificant developments in the use of computers

IntroductionKindergarten is a transitional stage in a child’s life. Their young minds are soaking in new ideasand learning every day. The kindergarten curriculum not only focuses on their social andemotional development, but it also emphasizes the importance of academics such as reading,math, science and problem solving. Bringing fun, hands-on activities into the classroom thatdemonstrate simple engineering concepts is an excellent opportunity to introduce these studentsto engineering at a young age and motivate their interest in learning. There are numerousresources available for teachers through

We can see this in any of a large number of examples, some of which are shown in Figure2. For example, engineers involved in today’s energy systems must of course understand
success at UTA. The committee agreed thatthese, along with the goal of creating and retaining a community of engineering students, shouldbe the main objectives of any freshman course structure. With these objectives in mind, thecommittee proceeded to examine the current structure of freshman courses and to proposechanges to allay the previously mentioned concerns. Changes were then approved by the Deanof the COE as well as all Department Chairs.In discussing different directions to explore, the committee considered the curricula at otherengineering colleges in the United States. This benchmarking resulted in consideration of muchliterature lauding the benefits of interdisciplinary freshman courses.4,5,6 A freshman coursecommon to all disciplines

Other appropriatepractices that include training teaching assistants in safety protocols [3], organizing a lab spacewith safety in mind [4], or making use of a virtual lab.In civil and environmental engineering, there can be many types of lab spaces. It depends on thefaculty members’ areas of interest and program emphasis. However, various types of labs can begrouped into three major categories based on the particular hazards they contain. In laboratoriesthat involve construction, materials and machinery, students encounter hazardous physicaldevices. In environmental and biological labs

four engineering-intensive organizations, asking them to identify 3-4 senior engineers with a range of career pathswho had graduated prior to 1992. We also asked them to be mindful of demographic diversitywhere possible. The four organizations represented the following industries: Chemicalprocessing, manufacturing, consulting/mining, and software. To ensure the inclusion ofengineers who had followed less traditional paths, we also reached out to senior engineersemployed in public service, finance, university leadership and social impact enterprises. In theend, 28 senior engineers consented to participate. Despite our intention to diversify our sample
