.....doubt, I would think, between the two of us that Tulane University is a great institution that has proven time and time again how elite and adept it is at developing and teaching the leaders and workers of tomorrow. Whether it be engineers, scientists, mathematicians or other people that enter and then work in the STEM space, our curriculum is certainly better than most. Even with that, it is important to compare, consider and contrast how we present ourselves on the Tulane website and how this compares to universities of similar size and scope. We must always make sure that the online "face" we present is accurate, complete and contemporary. Beyond that, it must compare favorably to the colleges that we directly compete with for the best and brightest students.For the purposes of this brief letter, the colleges that will be compared and contrasted are our own (University of Tulsa), Tulane Rice and Wake Forest. Of course, these colleges are similar in size and type and thus the comparison among the three should be favorable and positive in nature. Before we get to the external colleges, we shall look at our own. The easy and obvious to see feature of the Engineering page for Tulsa is the photo montage that rotates after the homepage...
There are the common menu bars at the top, both within the engineering realm (the blue bar) and the broader campus (the gold bar). There is a relative simplicity to the rest as there are links to events on the calendar, two examples of students doing real-world work that is impactful and then the campus visit, advising and continuing education links at the bottom.
Tulane has a dedicated front page that is for the School of Science and Engineering. There is the customary menu bar along the top that gives links to information about the program including the academics involved, the faculty and staff such as ourselves, the research that the program does, the alumni that have come and gone already, the giving that we all do, our outreach, news that is going on and events that are going to be happening in the coming days, weeks and months. As of this moment, the body of the Tulane page includes congratulations to the recent graduating class of 2017, the movement to treat troubled children as "sad, not bad" and a few other items such as a physics focus and the graduate research about cancer that our own Madeline Sell has been working on. The page is decent but has nothing that "wows" or stands out as…
Engineering Ethics This post-mortem report is directed to the British Petroleum (BP) board of directors concerning the BP Texas City refinery explosion incident that took place on March 23, 2005. A series of explosions occurred during the restarting of the hydrocarbon isomerization unit in the Texas City refinery. The main technical reason behind the initial explosion was the flooding of the over-pressurized distillation column, which ended up in a geyser of
For these customers, an electric Rolls-Royce would be ideal" (qtd. In Squatriglia, par. 5). The Rolls-Royce name is synonymous with excellence; it is good to know that they are extending that excellence to a more socially and environmentally conscious plateau, rather than restng on the laurels of luxury that the brand has built during the century of its existence. This tradition of excellence is the main reason I would like
engineering ethics websites were reviewed: the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Code of Ethics (IEEE), the American Council of Engineering Companies Ethical Guidelines, and the Institution of Engineers Australia Code of Ethics. All three websites cover a wide assortment of ethical issues including conflicts of interest, unfair and dishonest appraisal of projects, incompetent performance, and improper solicitation of work, among others. Of the three, the IEEE website contains
Engineering Organizations The first image displayed on the website for the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, rather eccentrically for an engineering organization, is two hands holding a clump of soil. Yet despite this earthy image, the society also stresses its technical nature, as members in the biological, agricultural, and other food related sciences could engage in virtual web conferences with one another, through web space accorded to the organization. Thus,
College?) It's become a widely recognized fact. College is expensive, and saddles students with lifelong debts. Moreover, observation shows that people learn very little in college and that knowledge and talent in a field may be unrelated to the degrees that one has. There's a simple solution to this problem: the youth of this nation should refuse to go to colleges where they will be saddled with debt and useless
Individual Automobile Safety Technology Engineering Ethics The overarching contribution of the automobile industry to the United States economy is considerable. Approximately 1.067 million intermediate job are engaged in the direct support of the industry. The spin-off jobs that are associated with the industry -- those people who are employed in direct and intermediate positions -- adds an additional 1.765 million to the total job count associated with U.S. motor vehicle manufacturing activities.
