about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering. Firstly, geochemists, according to Prospects, study the amount and distribution of chemical elements in rocks and minerals. Geochemists also study the movement of those elements into soil and water systems. The main purpose of geochemistry is to help guide oil exploration, help improve
Career as a Chemical Engineer If you were to never look up the definition of chemical engineering you would still have a slightly basic idea of what they deal with: chemistry and engineering. This is one of the main reasons why I want a career in chemical engineering. I have been fascinated with studying in a field of science for as long as I can remember. At first I only planned on majoring in chemistry, but as I grew older and learned more about math and science I decided that chemical engineering
we eat. Today chemical engineers face the challenge of ensuring water is purified as well as finding solutions to the wasting of this precious resource. I am particularly interested in the process of water purification from subsurface aquifers and surface sources, such as lakes and rivers, to produce portable drinking water. The reason that this sector has sparked a significant interest is because I come from Somalia, a country where clean water is so difficult to obtain. Chemical engineering consolidates
Mechanical engineering is a very broad and diverse job. Mechanical engineers are “thinkers and constructers”. They take ideas and turn them into real life. They “research, design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal censors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines”, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Basically, mechanical engineers work with anything that moves. Becoming a mechanical engineer is not very easy; it can take up to 4 years just to receive your bachelor

I have strong inclination towards energy, renewable energy and environmental science. I want to work on the industrial application of Chemical Engineering in order to leave a greener and brighter planet for the generations to come. My interest in energy and power generation dates back to my childhood when I grew up seeing electricity crisis and increasing prices
without hesitation have chosen to pursue my Masters in Chemical Engineering, the field that extracts and draws the best of my abilities. My allurement towards Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics from childhood had intrigued me to opt for Chemical Engineering. My undergraduate program has exposed me to a stimulating academia. I believed in diligence and persevering determination to perform a task right from my child hood. Being born in a family of engineers and my father being an entrepreneur for a pharmaceutical
Computer software engineers use the basics and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that enable computers to perform their many different tasks. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer software engineers are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations over the 2002–12 period. The starting salaries for computer engineers with a bachelor's degree can be higher than
implementing safety measures in order to not only promote a safe working condition but to ensure the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of the employees and people surrounded are taken into consideration. In planning and constructing a major chemical plant involving handling hazardous materials or processes, a safety adviser is expected to be responsible in constructing a safety plan in each stage of project development and to introduce organisational safety structure to ensure maximum safety
Public Policy Introduction California is a large state with an increasing population, which results to increased use of resources, especially water for human consumption, industrial uses and irrigation. However, water has become a scarce resource in California with poor communities suffering the most from the shortage. Therefore, through public policy the state government sought a solution to the issue. As a result, it led to the adoption of the recycled water policy on 3 February 2009 (Martineau
An engineer is the person who build, design and maintains machines, engine or public works. It is very important to have engineer in the society or country. This is because they are the person who responsible to invent things and create new technology. There are many type of engineer in this world. For example, mechanical engineer, chemical engineer, electrical engineer and biomedical engineer. Each field of engineering has their own role and specific work. The engineer must cooperate to each other
visualise the body as a factory loaded with chemical reactions controlled by “the fuel”, similar to an automobile. This fascinated me to a great extent and inspired me to pursue chemical engineering in my under-graduation for a strong foundation in petroleum / oil & gas engineering. The burning desire groomed me into understanding the subject with the revelation that more than chemicals and chemical reactions, Chemical Engineering is about Unit Operations, Chemical Processes and Problem-Solving Techniques
Alfred Nobel - His Life and Work Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833. His father Immanuel Nobel was an engineer and inventor who built bridges and buildings in Stockholm. In connection with his construction work Immanuel Nobel also experimented with different techniques for blasting rocks. Alfred's mother, born Andriette Ahlsell, came from a wealthy family. Due to misfortunes in his construction work caused by the loss of some barges of building material, Immanuel Nobel was
Engineering is the application of mathematics and science to develop products that are useful to society (Devaney 10-11). Engineers take scientific principles and combine them with engineering principles and apply it to their work. Engineers collaborate with scientists to help solve problems faced by our society (Nichols and Weldon np). Engineering is everywhere in our everyday lives. From big advancements, such as buildings and automobiles, to small advancements such as cellular phones. We may
describe the excellent engineer and what kind of education is demanded by such a person? Several issues are involved. One of these is the character of our times; that is, the best engineer out of the "science engineering" model of the 1950s may have little value in the early 21st Century. Another issue is the concept of education. How do education and training differ and how is excellence achieved? Finally, clearly, there is the issue of what we would expect of an engineer who is truly excellent
Complex Systems Are Very Likely to Experience Accidents Many people in today’s industrial countries have experienced the frustration and inconvenience of having their car break down. That event, while troublesome, often does not pose any significant danger to people. It is a useful microcosm, however, because cars, like other complex systems, will almost certainly malfunction at some point during use. While we cannot prove the following assertion for sure, empirical data and observations
very proud of my achievement in the service considering that I enlisted as an E-1, the lowest rank of an enlisted man. During my career in the military, I held various positions of responsibility that include; Chemical, Biological Warfare Officer, Engineering Plant Assessor and an Engineer Officer with one hundred eleven personnel working for me. It was managing my personnel that I became interested in psychology. As one of my duties is to take care of my personnel, I have to counsel my people

It has the capability of conveying genetic qualities of the crops that can withstand the changing climate condition and help obtain an increase of nutritional qualities. This provides farmers with a healthy lifestyle due to the less exposure of chemical residues and eventually a higher profit. Benefits of biotechnology can also be acknowledged in the medical
apprenticed a surgeon and went to Bristol to study science. While there he investigated gases. There he prepared and inhaled nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and in 1800 published the results of his work in 'Researches, Chemical and Philosophical'. Davy delivered his first lecture at the Royal Institution in 1801 and instantly became a popular figure there. His tenure as a lecturer was immensely successful. During his second Bakerian lecture at the Royal Society in 1807, he made public his tremendous achievement
