Lesson 7

Computer hardware engineer’s research, design, develops, test, and oversee the installation of computer hardware. Computer hardware includes computer chips, circuit boards, systems, modems, keyboards, and printers. (Computer software engineer's design the programs to run computers.)

Computer hardware engineers are much like electronics engineers, but work only with computers. The rapid advances in computers are a result of their work. To keep up, these workers must stay up to date on what they know.

Lesson 6

soldiers in battle wear many pounds of protective gear. but that protection isn't perfect. those who survive bomb blasts often suffer brain trauma, resulting in symptoms ranging from memory loss to blurred vision. Shu Yang, a university of Pennsylvania materials engineer, has developed a crystal patch that changes colors when hit by a shock-wave.

Lesson 5: Video Clips

The video with the multi-touch interaction experiments was cool. I really like the one with the figures that person drew and then the person started playing with them. the video using light instead of wires was very informing. the new super computers that IBM are planning to make are run by Silicon Photonics. Which is light pulses from light rays that connect thousands to million of micro chips and CPU processors to make the new super computer run faster and smarter. IBM is the only company that has started the silicon photonic lights. the video with the robotic cars was interesting. these engineering people have designed what they call Autonomous Robotics & Hybrid Systems that uses robotic cars to navigate on the street in any environment. these robotic cars travel on their own with out the help of anything moving it. it is designed to follow the rules of the roads and make travel easier and safer for the citizens when it comes to driving.

Lesson 5: Careers

My first engineering career i would choose is the Computer Software Systems engineer. A Computer Software Systems engineer develops and directs software system testing and validation procedures. the second engineering career I would choose is a Chief Executive. The Chief Executive is the one who provides overall direction and management for federal, state, and local government activities. Directs the activities of governmental agencies with the help of lower level managers. The third engineering career i would choose would be a computer engineer. Computer engineers are the world's problem solvers. They build, write, design, analyze and correct computer systems and software. Their expertise ranges from operating systems to software and hardware. They write the computer code that makes the machines do what they want them to do. These engineers strive to make software and hardware crash proof.

Lesson 4: Careers in Engineering Power Point

the three engineering careers that I am interested in are, an engineer, a technologist, or a technician. To me these careers would be more exciting.

True Colors Assessment

My color is orange. My favorite color is orange so I am okay with it but the results said that I am a motivator and one who gets people excited about projects. I am not one to get anyone excited about anything.

Learning style assessment

My results from the learning style assessment said that I am a social type learner. I don't think that I am a social learner because I'm not that social when it comes to doing work. I like to keep to my self, unless i know you.
