When you hear the word engineer

Инженеры найти пути решения проблем, которые
важны для общества. Они контролируют и предотвращения
загрязнения окружающей среды, разрабатывать новые лекарства, создавать передовые
технологии и помогают исследовать новые миры.
Они делают мир чище, безопаснее, здоровее
место, изобретая, строя и улучшая все
виды вещей от микрочипов до бытовой
техники, от небоскребов до космических аппаратов

Интересно, что инженер слово не приходит
от слова двигателя. На самом деле это происходит от
латинского слова ingeniosus означает специалистам. Инженер действительно умный, практичный решать проблемы. Хотя областях техники и науки
связаны, есть и различия. В

то время как ученый спросит , почему проблема происходит, инженер захочет знать , как решить эту проблему. Как сказал один писатель однажды сказал: ученые строят для того , чтобы узнать, в то время как инженеры учатся, чтобы построить.

Есть все виды возможностей в различных областях техники , таких как аэрокосмическая, биомедицинские, гражданской, механической и компьютерной техники. Инженеры работают в одиночку или в составе групп, а также во всех
видах местах , таких как офисы, заводы,
научно — исследовательские лаборатории, на открытом воздухе, и даже космическое пространство!

Engineering часто рассматривается как мужской профессии. Например, только 9 процентов американских инженеров составляют женщины, в то время как в Великобритании она составляет чуть более
8 процентов. Тем не менее, нет никаких оснований для этого: инженеры просто талантливые люди. На самом деле исследования показывают , что женщины делают лучшие решать возникающие проблемы. Так что сейчас самое время для женщин , чтобы спроектировать будущее. Сломать стереотип. Построить карьеру. Зарегистрируйтесь сегодня!

Когда вы
слышите слово инженер, вы думаете о ком — то , кто а) мужчина ?, б) скучно? или
с) загрязнен? Или все три? Что ж,
пора подумать еще раз. Инженеры являются люди , которые делают нашу повседневную жизнь проще. Сколько из величайших современного мира технических достижений вы будете использовать сегодня? Автомобиль, компьютер, телефон?

A British family has recently celebrated the birth of their 18th child. It was a girl and her brothers and sisters have welcomed their new sister. Her eldest brother is 26 and the parents already have two grandchildren. The family announced the birth of the child on their family website. They described the girl as “beautiful”. The family owns a bakery and hopes the children will take over the family business. It looks as if the era when the average British family would have only two or three children is over. In Britain there are more families with four children than anywhere else in Europe. Social scientists say that this is the result of immigration into the country of families from Asia and Africa.

Everybody knows that our appearance matters in what people think about us. Appearance is important not only in a romantic relationship but also in politics. Appearance is not all about beauty. The moment we see a person our mind starts evaluating their personality according to their looks. What especially matters is the persons face. This means that the impression somebody’s face makes on others can cost the person his or her political career. When we vote for a candidate we think that we are weighing his or her personal qualities. In fact, we are examining their face. Research has shown that if a candidate’s appearance displays competence, power and leadership, but not beauty or good looks, it can cause a political victory or defeat. These findings are really important.

Small children can understand money. They get the idea that in order to buy something you have to pay for it. Also, they know that in order to have money you have to earn it. Of course, kids can’t earn their own money yet and that is why parents start giving pocket money to their children at a certain age. Apart from fun, pocket money can be a great tool for teaching children the art of budgeting, saving money and setting goals. Besides, children can be taught how to donate small sums to charity. In other words, pocket money can be used to teach small children decision-making but children should not be paid for obeying their parents or for helping them about the house.

Mobile phones have become very popular and texting is taking the lead. In many situations sending text messages called SMS via the telephone is more preferable than emailing somebody. Unlike emails, SMS texts are delivered alerting the telephone owner to the arrival of a new message. Not many of us check their email on a regular basis while SMS texts have a sense of urgency and we must answer them at once. Besides, texting is used for personal contacts while emails are often the channel of business communication. A great advantage of SMS texts is that they can be sent from any location thanks to the mobile device in your pocket. You do not have to sit in front of a computer or carry a heavy laptop with you.

People who travel through the thick Brazilian jungle may arrive at a shocking place — a small American-style town with streets, houses, a police station and even a golf course. The difference is that here in the middle of the rainforest there are no people. Only monkeys jumping on the rooftops. The town was built in the ’20s and its inhabitants abandoned it in the 1940s. The famous car maker Henry Ford bought this land and wanted to build a factory there to produce rubber for his cars. The workers were moved there from Michigan.

In the past, travelling was a very risky adventure. There were no roads. The transport was very primitive and slow. Many people travelled on foot and faced all sorts of dangers from wild beasts, bad weather and robbers. Only the bravest people dared to set out on a long journey They preferred to travel in groups. Later travellers learned how to train four-footed animals like the horse or the camel and travelling became a little more comfortable. These days people travel in comfort and nearly every country in the world has a network of railways and air connections.

Over the last 50 years the human population has increased nearly three times and as a result we have been using a lot more water than before. Besides, industrial waste has polluted much of the fresh water resources. Agriculture demands its share of water as well. This means that the water supply is decreasing. Less fresh water on the planet means not only thirst but also hunger. The reason is that human beings depend upon fish and animals for food. If fish and wildlife become extinct, we may face extinction ourselves. A debate is now going on about what causes the shortage of water. Global warming is factor number one. People from different cultures have to work together or face mutual destruction.

    “Surprising” – it never ceases to amaze me how even just at university, where we’re all being taught the same things and given the same task descriptions, we all bring completely different ideas and interpretations to the table, with every single project ending up being unique. It’s a field which changes so quickly, and where each problem and solution is so new and different, that you never know when something you learned many years ago and thought was completely random and irrelevant might suddenly be the perfect idea and revolutionise a field. It’s definitely exciting!

    I think in English we have a problem because a lot of people who don’t know much about engineers think of engines! Did you know that in a lot of other languages the two words don’t sound similar at all?

    The word “engineer” actually comes from the word “ingenuity” which is all about problem-solving.

    Making things happen

    I studied physics at University and I really enjoyed finding out about how things work and what people thought may be how the world is, but I’m not a natural “explorer” of thoughts.

    I like to think of science as “What is going on here?” and engineering as “How am I going to do that?”

  Working together towards solving problems of the modern day world to create a better society. Even though the term ‘engineers’ covers a wide range of sectors in which we all work, we are all aiming for a common goal of improving the world we live in today for the communities we are all apart of.

College of Engineering:
Engineers turn ideas (technical, scientific, mathematical) into reality. Tell us about an engineering idea you have or your interest in engineering. Explain how Cornell Engineering can help you further explore this idea or interest.

When I hear the word «engineer», I immediately picture a person wearing hard hat and holding a blueprint. As it turns out, many engineers are not the typical architecture engineers I picture. Some looks like scientists with their lab coats and weird color chemicals; some looks like farmers working in a field with shovels and hoes; some looks like average day people dressed in t-shirts and jeans ready to program some software. I belong to the latter description. I want to become a computer engineer.

I have always been interested in the «magical super calculator», even at an early age. At that time, the computer, in my ignorant little mind, is a machine that can calculate math problems really fast, play cool looking games, and type documents with a tolerance of errors (unlike the typewriter). To some extend what I thought were right, but computers’ abilities were far beyond my imagination. Until recently, I never wondered about computers’ hidden secrets. How does a letter appear when one types it on a keyboard? How does a character move on the screen when one presses the arrow keys? How does an email travel through the Internet when one clicks a button? Such seemingly simple tasks are found to be quite complex behind its programming and algorithm roots. I don’t know the answers to those questions. Like the quote, «The more you know, the more you realize you know nothing.» All I know is that the computer is even a deeper mystery than before.

The only way to dissolve ignorance is knowledge. Cornell University not only offers the top-notch education, it also has the state-of-the-art research centers, like the Center for Advanced Computing, which was one of the five original centers of the National Science Foundation’s Supercomputer Centers Program. And Cornell offers over a dozen of research areas for computer engineers, such as artificial intelligence, programming, systems and networking, and my most interested area — graphics. Like the Engineering Communications Program and the Kessler Fellows Program, Cornell is overflowing with opportunities waiting for engineer wannabe like me to experience.

With advancing technology, computers are becoming more and more complex each day. Without the proper education, I’m becoming more and more ignorant each day. Again, the only way to dissolve ignorance is knowledge. Cornell offers the knowledge. I have the willingness to learn the knowledge. Within four years, I will become a computer engineer. The once «wannabe» will change from «wanna» to «be».

What do everyone think about it? Any comments would be appreciated.
I have to admit, the conclusion is a bit… odd. But what do you think about it? Should I change it?
