From an early age I have enjoyed partaking in the sciences at school. I furthered this by studying them at an advanced level. I would like to study Chemical Engineering specialising in Petroleum Engineering if possible. My interest in natural resources developed when I came across a detailed article in a newspaper about "Hubbert's Peak". I became fascinated with the production of oil and the manner in which drilling for such a widely available resource has become so difficult in recent years. It is truly an engineering marvel to see companies drilling 18000ft into the sea to obtain a natural resource, which in years gone by was readily available at 2000ft. I want to be part of a new age where engineers are constantly pushing the boundaries in an effort to be cleaner, more efficient and extract value of our world's depleting resources. Enrolling on my specified course is the natural step for me to develop my interest further and will lead me to my chosen career of working within the field of natural resources.
The study of physics and chemistry has enabled me to develop my interests further. For my A2 physics coursework I researched the area of fluid flow, which I immensely enjoyed. I am aware that fluid flow plays an important part in the extraction of oil and gas. This was an area, which was also touched upon during my 2 week work placement at a local engineering company. I was involved in a team on a number of projects lead by the head engineer. This gave me an insight in the wide ranging uses an Engineering degree can have in a different array of jobs.
I believe that to succeed in life one must have a vast arsenal of skills and this is the reason why I have not limited myself to gaining experience purely in the science field. In the summer of 2007 I worked for a medium sized solicitors firm for approximately 6 weeks. I was able to experience the working life in an office environment. Meeting deadlines, working to a specific schedule, being flexible and learning how to work within new systems, were all basic tasks which prepare an individual for the time when one starts
1. Restricted cervical injection 2. Embalming is the art and science of preserving human remains by treating them (in its modern form with chemicals) to forestall decomposition. 3. The three goals of embalming are sanitization, presentation and preservation (or restoration) 4.As practiced in the funeral homes of the Western World (notably North America), embalming uses several steps. 5.Modern embalming techniques are not the result of a single practitioner, but rather the accumulation of many…
Background Physics is the study of non-living things. Physical science is one of the fundamental sciences because the other natural sciences like biology and geology deal with systems that obey the laws of physics. Engineering physics is the study of the combined disciplines of physics, engineering and mathematics in order to develop an understanding of the interrelationships of these three disciplines. “A study of hydrostatics can also include capillarity, the ideal gas laws, the velocity of sound…

Name: Selah Mosley CVSR Subject: Earth Science Class: 210 Date: December 12th, 2014 Hydraulic Fracturing Abstract: The oil and gas industry has been using hydraulic fracturing (also known as hydrofracturing and fracking) a way to boost hydrocarbon production since1947. Recent advances in fracturing technologies are responsible for the latest hydrocarbon production boom in the U.S. The process of hydro fracturing is where fluids are pumped at high pressure underground to fracture a…
Mechanical engineer Mechanical Engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering, physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. The fields that you require an understanding mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis and electricity. Mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines…
graduation. I was at elementary school back then. Though I understood very little of the work, but it was enough to make me interested in Mechanical Engineering. Being a huge fan of Mathematics and Physics and the interest for engineering made me choose science majors in my high school and eventually engineering as a career. I took a tour of my university before my admission. The windmills and submersible pump setups that I saw in front of Mechanical Engineering department made me certain that I want to…

concern in dentistry since its inception as a science. In 1884 Calvo wrote "There is a great need of a medicament, which while lessening the sensitivity of dentine, will not impair the vitality of the pulp."^ When dentists first started drilling into teeth they seldom used anesthesia. They discovered that when they worked on the 14 defttin cause fluid movement in tubule Brannstrom's theory (Proctor and Gamble) CDHA Journal Vol. 22, No. 3 teeth, the fluid in the capillary moved toward the crown.…
