Intermediate Paper – Identify a problem. Describe your methodology on how this problem could be
solved. Reinforce these thoughts with how an engineering degree would help you solve this/these
problems. Also, research an engineering professional society that interests you. Write a brief paper, 2-3
pages, typed, on these topics.
Problem Solving
? In detail, describe the present problem.
o How did the problem surface?
o What are the current solutions, if any?
? Propose a solution to the problem
o Is it practical?
? How could an engineer solve this problem? How would you obtaining an engineering degree help
you solve the problem?
? How would society benefit from this problem being solved?
Professional Society
? Which professional society did you choose and why?
? What do they do?
? What are the requirements to join the society?
? What impact does the society have?
? Do they have any conferences or trade shows? How many? Where? When? What is the cost?

Primary Paper– Choose an engineering discipline of your choice. Write a brief paper, 2-3 pages, typed,
on this major.
? Why did you choose this?
? What University do you want to attend? Why? Do they have an ABET accredited engineering
program?
? What are the consequences of obtaining a degree from a non-ABET accredited engineering
program?
? Are there student clubs, organizations, competitions offered by the University of choice that
interests you?
? What are the average salaries and the typical responsibilities of the engineering discipline you
chose?
? Identify the top ranking Universities for your engineering discipline of choice.
? Does the University you chose offer graduate school opportunities?
? Find a specific area you would like to pursue and why?
? Does the University you originally chose have a graduate program tailored to the specific area
you chose?

Campus/Class Demos – We will be performing in-class/campus demonstrations to prove
engineering/scientific theories. Data acquired from these may be included into additional assignments.

• I have chosen for this paper: American Society of Mechanical Engineers because I have
always been Interested in Mechanical Engineering and my major is Engineering
Technology Management leaning to Mechanical Engineering.
