Ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals

Industry placement gave me a great opportunity to learn many things. During the time I spent in the industry placement, I learned how theory is translated into practice. In school, we learn many concepts in various subjects. Sometimes it is very hard to imagine how the concepts apply in practice. The placement offered me a chance to apply the engineering concepts we learned in class. I practically applied basic science and engineering fundamentals in making judgments regarding the specific tasks I was given to handle. I also understood that in some instances there is a slight difference between theoretical ...

Introduction

In the past, agricultural production has relied on traditional approaches to enhancing farm production. For instance, farmers in the past used conventional approach such as the migration of birds to determine the climate conditions that were approaching. According to Zhang and Pierce (2013), farmers made planting decisions based on their experiences relating to the climatic conditions. However, traditional approaches to farming have severely resulted to a decrease in output because of the different and varying conditions that are beyond the comprehension of human experiences. As such, sensors have been developed for application in crop and animal faring with the goal ...

Abstract

This paper describes the Teotihuacan state-city thriving in the Basin of Mexico between 200 BC and 600 AD. A description of archeological findings at the site in Teotihuacan Valley offers an insight into political organization and everyday life of the powerful city. City features grid system and a large number of impressive structures. Its agriculture was highly reliant on systems of irrigation. A high demand for construction wood might have had a harming effect on local ecology and agriculture. The economy of Teotihuacan was based on market commerce including trading with areas as remote as Veracruz or Guatemala. Political power and ...

Introduction

The report focuses on the future development of agriculture in India. The lack of education, disproportionate workforce in agriculture and other non-farming industries, low productive and virtually no development strategy significantly affect and hinder general development. The problem of food produce is among the most burning due to the forecast that world population will increase to almost 10 billion people by 2060. The amount of food present today will be unable to satisfy the needs of everyone on this planet. Therefore food production must increase by 70%. In order to achieve this goal the only viable solution is seen ...

Introduction

Human beings have moved to some of the most inhospitable areas of the world. Some of these areas include inhospitable arid regions, often deserts; for instance, Death Valley in the United States is an incredibly arid region, and yet, there are still people who live in this region. One of the larger cities in the American southwest is Las Vegas, Nevada, which is situated entirely within an incredibly dry desert. The Sahara desert, similarly, is extremely dry, and there are many people who live in these areas.
Deserts are not particularly hospitable and are extremely difficult places to ...

In general, Kenya is a dry country; about four-fifths of the land is considered arid or semi-arid. The land considered useful for agriculture only occupies about 17 percent of the nation’s area; throughout the country, average yearly rainfall ranges from 200 mm (in the north) to over 1,800 mm on the sides of Mt. Kenya (The Encyclopedia of Earth, 2008). Ironically, the economy of the country centers around the agricultural part of the country; agricultural products bring in about 30 percent of the nation’s income. When droughts come, they can send Kenya’s economy into severe ...

I. Introduction
Research on potential futures for the earth has suggested that in the future, clean, fresh, potable water will be as important if not more valuable than oil is today. The future of the world and of humanity is very dependent upon water; although much of the planet is covered in water, the vast majority of it is contained within Earth’s oceans, making it undrinkable in its current state. In recent years, the global community has come to recognize that access to fresh and potable water will become an issue in the relatively near future, and ...

Abstract

Application of the nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) processes is applied in the handling of water that is produced raw. The application has been investigated in the current day through various studies (Wang 14). The experiment of the processes of both nanofiltration and ultrafiltration is conducted in the laboratory unit which is operated in a pattern of cross flow (Ashaghi, Ebrahimi, & Czermak, 46). The study that was conducted in Oilfield of North Sea using the process of membranes of ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) indicated that the content of hydrocarbon decreased from 50 mg/l to 2 mg/l which recorded ...

- Introductory Information
Fresh Water shortage is a serious concern in arid regions of the world which are defined as dry, sandy regions where rainfall is rare and suffers from sparse vegetation and extreme temperatures. With 80% of the arid regions having serious droughts and nearly 40% of the population of this world residing these regions this is a serious issue transpiring (Prudhomme, 2002). High intensity and less rainfall increases crisis of water as wetlands, reservoirs and river get empty. Global warming adds to the uncertainty in these regions over the availability of water in future. It is becoming evident ...

Abstract

Access and availability of portable water supplies in arid and semi-arid areas of the world is quickly becoming a large problem. Notably, these semi-arid and arid regions only have the least amount of annual precipitation and account for 2% of the entire global runoff. Water is and will always be the most important resource in the world. This report will investigate the feasibility of different techniques for providing fresh water in the arid and semi arid regions of Liberia.

Currently, China ranks the top in the world in producing Rice, potatoes and wheat. China has a variety of crops and a range of different fruits, flowers and vegetables. It also boasts of animal farming since it has a lot different breeds of the same. This has been possible because the climate of China is favorable. The climate is varied of rainfall and temperate and zones but during winter it becomes cold and dry and in summer it is hot and rainy (King, 2000). It has also been made possible because of the cooperation of the farmers with the government. The government ...

The effects of climate change are significant around the globe. Coastal waters and temperatures are on the rise as a result of climate change in many regions around the world. Scientists predict a global extreme weather change that will have negative effects on human beings, plants and animals. Climate change is associated with continuous trends of increases in temperature. The worst hit decade since 1850 was 2000 to 2009. Climate scientists view that if green house gases continue to be emitted global temperatures should be expected to rise by the end of this century. The exact amount of temperature changes is ...

Introduction

Water availability is becoming a very important and tough problem worldwide, though every country is attentive towards this problem; there are a few countries like North Africa and Middle East that have a lot of semi-arid and arid regions, and for them water provision is a major national issue and has a lot of political and social importance.[ CITATION JuU04 \l 1033 ]
Some of the common reasons for these issues in the Middle East are, lack of natural water resources, rapid population growth and proportional increase in the demand of water, no effective management of the current resources, the current resources not being ...
