1. Discuss the importance of professional registration to your personal career goals. (It’s okay to say you don’t plan to be licensed, but you should talk about why and demonstrate an understanding of the process.) As a Civil Engineering student, it is important for me to further my education by getting professionally licensed. To be a professional licensed engineer means that I have already earned four years bachelor’s degree in engineering from an accredited engineering college. Then I would have to take a fundamental of Engineering Exams (FE). Afterwards I would have to complete a four years of ongoing engineering experience and practice under a Professional Engineer to gain hands on skills and experience. Lastly, I would have to apply to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam and pass it. The two exams are competency exams that are required before I can earn my license from the State Licensure Board (“What is a PE,” n.d). …show more content…
Becoming a PE varies from state to state depending on educational level and experiences, while other state might require further steps. For this paper I will cover the requirement a Professional Engineer must go through in the state of Texas. The advantages that comes along with being a professionally licensed engineer according to the National Society of Professional Engineers, includes being credentials approved by future clients. Earning the trust of my boss that I am competent enough to take on an advanced level of responsibilities. Among my mates it calls for respect and sets me apart from just any other graduate engineering student. Most especially I would be proud of my hard-work and accomplishment as a Professional Engineer (“What is a PE?”
In the United States, the history of Career and Technical Education evolved within four major periods. First, the Awakening period which began in 1776-1826, when the right to a free public education was expressed. During this era, educational opportunities in labor and industrial education were being demanded. The rising working class began to press for an education that were more appropriate for their labor and industry’s needs (Awakening 1776-1826, 1976). Even Benjamin Franklin who represented the Awakening middle class was on board with the rise of technical and vocational education which were taught primarily by private masters or contracted apprenticeships (Cohen, 1976).

Today i am going to talk about one of the most influential person in my life, about the person that inspires me to enter into this kinesiology major, his name is kenneth Canche’. He is the head coach for the San Ysidro high school baseball and the leader of the PE teachers in school. And there is no way to argue why is he on charge. As i said, coach Canche is a PE teacher with a masters degree in physical education, and a masters degree in chemistry. And he has been involved in the physical education programs for more than 18 years. As coach canche argued in the interview, “in all my years coaching, i have had just one bad team, and it was 5 years ago. It is the worst feeling ever because i am

When attempting to understand and define professional writing, there are many questions that come to mind. Who uses professional writing? Or how does professional writing differ from more commonly practiced disciplines of writing and communicating? Upon researching and inquiring about how professional writing is used to communicate in the workplace, I have gathered opinions from scholars and professional writers of different discourses, both who use various genres to relay information. A brief definition of professional writing is a style of written communication used in a workplace. This mode of communication allows professionals (e.g. professors, business people, doctors, lawyers, etc.) to make informed decisions. Professional writing generally
Learning is a continuous process and the day that you stop learning is the day that you start decreasing your rewards and lower levels of satisfaction. My ardent desire to acquire knowledge has motivated me to pursue higher studies at graduate level, and to take up a career in research in industry. I have taken this decision after carefully considering my academic background, profound interest in research and strong aptitude for problem solving.
A petroleum engineer must obtain a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Some engineering programs offer field work while in school to get the student equated with the type of work in the petroleum engineering field. They are required to license to work in the public with others are under another petroleum engineer. Licensing requires an individual to have a degree from an ABET- accredited program, they must also pass the Fundamental of Engineering exam and they must also pass the Prof...
Engineering is an essential and learned profession. As members of this profession, engineers are likely to show the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineering has a straight and vital impact on the quality of life for all people. Consequently, the services offered by engineers need honesty, impartiality, equality, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public safety, welfare, and health. Engineers must act under a standard of professional performance that requires adherence to the maximum principles of ethical conduct.
Commitment to continuous development of competency depends a great deal on the motivation of the individual, and the extent of self-awareness and honesty he/she has concerning abilities and skills. Accessing one’s personal level of competence could prove to be a daunting task without a focused desire for continued professional development, the help of co-workers, supervisors, continuing education classes, and a genuineness of attitude that isn’t afraid, or resentful of critique. Cultivating an honest understanding of one’s own knowledge or lack of knowledge in certain areas, or even a gap in skills or abilities is crucial to the continuing development of professional competence.
The civil engineering field is about gathering and interpreting data, being able to give technical presentations to colleagues, team work to design and build a project, projects range from the design and construction of dams, bridges, buildings, roads, and water supply systems. In most cases the works of engineers are admired and sought after. Engineers play an important role in the development and improvement of a society. Yet, like other technical and non-engineering careers the civil engineers also face issues, for example, regarding ethics, high energy building consumption, increased soil and coastal erosion, inadequate water quality, traffic congestion, and some poor infrastructures resilience to disasters. Another example is that unfortunately in the United Kingdom, the civil engineering industry is highly fragmented with 93% of companies having 14 or fewer employees which is not always a great idea, as written by John Miles in Civil Engineering Informatics. There is also a need to implement new professional and educational approaches to new challenges and new implications that are needed for the twenty-first century society. This paper will introduce and explain five different issues that civil engineers are currently facing and elaborate about how these challenges interrelate to each other.
Engineering ethics focuses on the behavior of the individual - the engineer, and the development of ethical standards governing their professional activities. Engineering ethics has always existed as a set of rules or a system that governs the behavior of an engineer. Among its main provisions, we can attribute such as the need to faithfully perform engineering work that would bring welfare and do not cause harm to people; be accountable for engineering professional activities; a good relationship ( customs and rules governing relations ) with other engineer, etc.
I am applying for a Masters in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Solid Mechanics to expand on my study of and experience with materials. I have thoroughly enjoyed studying Materials Science and Engineering as an undergraduate at UCLA. I now look forward to moving into graduate study in a field of engineering with a related, but different perspective. Materials Science and Engineering has allowed me to explore both materials and other fields within engineering, contributing to my strong interest in combining my study of Materials Science and Engineering with Mechanical Engineering. I have completed basic coursework in most areas of engineering, learning statics, thermodynamics, basic programming, and circuit design. This has provided a strong foundation to continue graduate study in other engineering disciplines. I

The world nowadays needs a person who could compete and has great abilities to stand on the same level as others. Multiple skills and critical opinion of an issue are essential for an engineer to jump into this challenging career. For me, a strategic planning and full preparation need to achieve the aim of being an expert engineer.
Electrical Engineering entails many benefits but also many sacrifices. It is not a job for everybody but it is a necessity in the modern times. Without Electrical Engineering, there would be no phone upgrades, no solar panels, no ways of conserving energy. This is a career that touches every living person on the planet. The reason this career was chosen was because of family business and my interest in anything electric. I’ve always been interested in how electricity works, even when I was a as young as 5. I would build my own simple circuits and light up my room when I was little. So this has always been an interest for me and I love it! Also I have a basically guaranteed a job out of school whether it be a electrical engineer after school
