Hard engineering refers to the construction of physical structures to defend against erosive power of waves To protect a coast from erosion‚ people have built seawalls in front of a cliff or along the coast. A seawall is usually made of concrete. It acts as a buffer and absorbs energy of breaking waves especially during storms where the waves are strong‚ thus protecting the coast. A seawall shields and protects the coast from the direct impact of the incoming waves‚ thus reducing erosion. However

this machine is responsible for sparking an interest in how things work. My love for practical sciences‚ in addition to my innate fascination with technology used for practical and real purposes‚ has enabled me to discern my love for mechanical engineering. As a chubby 11 year old‚ I remember sitting glued to Discovery channel. An episode of the show ‘How it’s made’ featured the process used to create a gumball machine. Awestruck I learnt about the intricate parts that made this miraculous machine

The Form of Structural Equation Models Structural equation modeling incorporates several different approaches or frameworks to representing these models. In one well-known framework (popularized by Karl Jöreskog‚ University of Uppsala)‚ the general structural equation model can be represented by three matrix equations: However‚ in applied work‚ structural equation models are most often represented graphically. Here is a graphical example of a structural equation model: For more information

Civil engineering is not too hard because you have different position‚ different branches. When you start going to school‚ to take 2 or 3 classes for each branch‚ and when you graduate‚ you can tell which one you enjoy the most‚ but basically with that degree‚ you can do so many things. Engineering is very practical‚ and it’s different every day. At the beginning‚ you will learn‚ but after that‚ it’s all about solving problems. Every day‚ you do something different‚ like different problems‚ different

Admit it though we are engineering students we are not so familiar of the issues about how bridges collapse in just one glimpse. The first failure of a bridge happened August 29 by the year 1907‚ The Bridge was in Quebec and it killed 86 people. This is one of the most remarkable catastrophes in the field of Civil Engineering. Through this tragedy‚ aren’t the engineers and the people involved in construction never learned their lessons? And still record of failure of bridges still soar and one of
