This video helps me, even though I don't think I'll be designing micro chips. The reason this video helps me is that it shows how engineers would communicate with a manager if I do go into a business that engineers have to design in. The main reason that this video helps me is that it shows how long engineers days can get and what they do during that time.



While I highly doubt I'll be blowing stuff up in Iraq, this video helps my essay because even though they're just blowing up a bridge they have to use math and science to make sure the explosion doesn't destroy themselves along with the bridge. This can be helpful for if I decide to be a civil engineer I may have to blow up buildings and make sure that the building doesn't fall on anyone or another building.

1. How many people are trying to get a job in a field of engineering?
2. Do you think that engineering is a job that isn’t affected by depressions?
3. How long have you been interested in science and math; how long have you had this job?
4. Do you think the engineering field will have more and more jobs open to it and that it will continue expanding?
5. Do you think that engineering will eventually start requiring higher math and science courses before someone can become an engineer?

This site is for the National Society of Professional Engineers. Basically this site allows professional engineers and engineer interns to practice engineering. This site shows what events are coming up, what events they were at previously (an Annual Report and a thing called Heritage which shows what they’ve done over the years), and resources for the members.

This blog is used by David Goldberg. He is a professor that has an interest in engineering so I suspect that he is a professor that teaches engineering. It shows multiple videos about engineering and some of them have a few sentences explaining what the video is about. The layout is easy to navigate and easy to find what you want, if he has it at least.
http://engineering.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
This is a wiki page. The site itself seems to be new or not a lot of users are on it right now. It seems to be new because most of the information on the site is mostly focused on mechanical engineering and is lacking civil, aerospace, etc. fields. In fact the second paragraph now that I’m reading the home page more says that it is still fairly young. This wiki seems that it will do well once more engineers from more fields join and it may become a favorite to engineers and people who want to be engineers alike.

This link is attached to what looks to be a magazine article, when viewed in the PDF format which is where this link leads to. This talks about a man and how he flies aircraft. The article shows that the man wanted to be a military pilot but didn’t have the eyes for it. So he got a aerospace engineer degree, teaching aerobatics as a sub-job.

Topic Proposal

The career I plan to pursue is Aeronautical Engineering. This career path has interested me for some time. I always enjoyed math and science classes compared to history and English. That is one of the few reasons why I planned on a career with high math and science requirements. Another reason I planned on this career is the ease of finding jobs in this field. If someone is an engineer it shouldn’t be hard to find a position for any type of engineering as long as the person is trained properly. Everywhere in a job market there can be some type of engineer behind the scenes, like the civilian engineers that build bridges all the way to military engineers that blow up bridges. The engineering field is one of the few fields that are not affected by a depression or the economy dropping. So there will always be a job for an engineer or require skills that an engineer can easily wield.
