DD6HW1 Chapter Info about Your Field

a. The three largest or most important professional organizations in Mechanical Engineering are

  1. American Society of Mechanical Engineers
  2. American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
  3. American Society of Civil Engineers

  2. Advances in Applied Mechanics
  3. International Journal Of Plasticity

c. Three important online discussion list or bulletin board in my field are

  1. http://www.engineeringclicks.com/forum/
  2. http://ww38.mechengforum.com/index.php
  3. https://mechanical-engg.com/forum/
d. Unconventional Resources Technology Conference is in Austin, Texas from July 24, 2017 to July 26, 2017

While looking up every part to this exercise, I didn't realize this information was available to us. I especially found the journals to be extremely interesting. While reading over these journals, I realize that there is so much more to be found/researched. Even with a Master's in Mechanical Engineering, I will still have so much to learn. If you have any questions that are relative to the field, you can go onto discussion boards and I can assure you that someone has asked that question and there will be a debate posted on it. With all of these conferences coming up, you will be able to meet up with tons of other people who are there for the same knowledge you are there for.

With the research process itself, I usually used websites that ended with ".org" or ".edu" because anyone can create their own website with ".com" With databases, you know you will get reliable information, backed by many certified peers. Not everyone can post inside a database. All of the articles inside a database will have references to where they got their information.

DD9HW2 Reflect on PR

Being a pretty novice writer trying to improve my writing skills, I can see some problems with my paper. First of all, I can work on the flow of my column. I should include an introductory paragraph to introduce the audience to what I am about to discuss in the column. Second of all, I can work on expanding my vocabulary to entice to readers to read further. Lastly, I can try to make it more understandable by making references the audience would understand.

DD6HW2 Brainstorm

Brainstorm What graphics are important to your field? Most engineering firms have logos/brands and they want their brand to be widely known. Graphics in terms of Charts can be very helpful. Charts such as a Bar Chart can be very helpful. When presenting to a group of people information, they'd rather see a bar chart representing the data you chose instead of seeing boring numbers. How graphics are important to your field? Just like a Bar Chart, you can represent data in a more visual way instead of looking at numbers. When it comes to manuals/instructions, people would rather see a visual with the parts being place together, as it is easier and has less confusion than a verbal description. Why graphics are important to your field? Graphics can save space and communicate steps in a process more effectively than words alone(like described earlier) Presenting information in a paragraph is uneconomical and makes the information hard to remember. Presented as a table however, t
