Google day#3

Goals:

  • The previous classes I only looked at engineering. So today I want to look into architecture and medicine.
  • Find the salaries for each.
  • Then I want to see colleges for the careers.
Links:
  • I medicine I am only interested in being a surgeon or a anesthesiologists. The salary for being a surgeon is above 166,444 dollars yearly. An anesthesiologist also makes 166,444 dollars yearly.
  • An architect's salary is 91,700 dollars yearly.
  • Architecture is a very risky career because there is an unemployment rate of 10% for this career.
  • The best ranked universities for engineering are: Princeton University, and Stanford University.
  • For Medicine the best universities are: Oxford University and Harvard University.
Goal:
I don't really have a goal I just want to see to which colleges of engineering or any of those careers I can apply to with my GPA.

google day#2

Topic for research: I am going to compare and investigate investigate in depth 3 careers consider another, the careers are: Surgeon,  architect and engineering.
Goals:

  • Learn about the availability of each job 
  • also see a little deeper at what each job does
  • Then tips that may get a job easier
Links:
  1. Avalability:
    1. Aerospace: 2230 job openings each year.
    2. Bio-medical: 1,490 job openings each year.
    3. Chemical: 780 job openings each year.
    4. Civil: 11,460 job openings each year.
    5. Environmental: 2,790 job openings each year.
    6. Industrial: 8,540 job openings each year.
    7. Nuclear: 540 job openings each year.
    8. Petroleum: 860 job openings each year.
  2. What each job does:
    1. Aerospace: designs: spacecraft, aircraft, satellites, missiles, etc.
    2. Bio-medical: study engineering, biology and medicine to be able to improve the procedures for certain medical treatments like laser eye surgery.
    3. Chemical: Design: the equipment used to make multiple products such as paper, plastic, drugs.
    4. Civil: plan, design, and supervise the construction of large projects
    5. Environmental: study engineer and science to design solutions for the environment.
    6. Industrial: help businesses to use their resources, equipment, and personel in the most effective way.
    7. Nuclear: research ways in which we can use nuclear energy and radiation.
    8. Petroleum: design: equipment to extract petroleum.
  3. Tips it is recomended foir all engineers to study a course that is credited by the abet.
NExt class i want to learn about architecture and medicine.

google day 1

Goals

  • Find a topic probably it is going to be very hard because i don't know to much about what i want to do in the future.
  • Well find info about the topic.
  • Then work in the topic.
I think i am going to compare to investigate in depth 4 careers maybe more if i consider another, but the careers are: Surgeon,  architect and industrial engineer, civil engineer, or probably just an engineer.
  1. There are many types of engineer but many dont call my atention the ones that do are: Aerospace engineer, Agricultural engineer, biomedical engineer, chemical engineer, civil engineer, environmental engineer, industrial enginner, nuclear engineer, petroleum engineer.
  2. Salaries for each engineer (annualy in dolars): 
    1. Aerospace: 97,480
    2. Agricultural: 71,090
    3. Biomedical: 81,540
    4. Chemical: 90,330
    5. Civil: 77,560
    6. Environmental: 78,740
    7. Industrial: 76,100
    8. Nuclear: 99,920
    9. Petroleum: 114,080
  3. Avalability:
    1. Aerospace: 
    2. Agricultural: 
    3. Biomedical:
    4. Chemical:
    5. Civil:
    6. Environmental:
    7. Industrial:
    8. Nuclear:
    9. Petroleum:
  4. Unfortunately I could not finish what I wanted to do today because I couldnt decide on what to do it.
  5. So for the next class i wanna finish what i wnated for today, also i want to find out collages in which I can study all these and the longitud of the career.

Augmented reality

What I know about this topic: I know nothing about it.
Questions I have: What is it? and how does it work?
Useful links:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/augmented-reality.htm
http://www.technologyreview.com/review/428212/you-will-want-google-goggles/
What I learn:

  1. Augmented reality is a type of technology that integrates the real world with computer generated environments. Such devices or programs already exist like the Google glasses or the iPhone apps.
  2. This type of technology can be used in the army for the soldiers to identify weapons or place marks on  people or objects to identify danger. 
  3. It can also be used in commerce for the buyer to see more information about the product also they can be able to see the product without opening it.
  4.  Also for architecture results for the project can be seen, how it would look like without the structure being physical.
  5. Not only can you see it in the computer screen but you can also see it in real life with projectors that bring he information to life.
Well I actually had like this a lot, you can see it in many movies like in the iron man suit or in the star wars conferences between Jedis. I have an app in my phone that scans products and tells me the price but i am anxious of getting more of this technology. 
Question I still have:
Due to lack of time I couldn't figure out how it worked. So How does this work?
