O*NET Online
In this assignment we had to take notes about roller coaster engineering and I also took notes on mechanical engineering. It explained the different abilities, task, and things of that nature about the topic. This assigment brought me more information about the different feilds of engineering. It also makesme contemplate my fture because I could easily go into one of these feilds and become very successful. These types of assingments are helping me better understand these fields and brings me closer to an engineering career.
eGFI
In this assignment I went through the magazine and talked about two articles that I liked. In the first article it was talking about auto-tunes. I already knew alot of artists use auto tunes and engineers are the ones that help them with it. It was an article that made people who dont know aware that engineers have alot of different career fields and one of them is in the music industry.The second article was about eGFI. It stands for engineers Go Fot It. From the interactive website to the colorful and inspiring print and digital magazine, there is something for everyone--students, K-12 teachers and informal educators, parents and guardians, and anyone else with an interest in engineering. It was a cool magazine and this was my first time hearing about it.

Careers with Video Clips
In this assignment i learned a little about 3 different jobs. The videos explained what their responsibilities were and the education you need to go into the field. I believe this helps out a lot of people and makes them more aware about jobs and the things you need to be successful in that job area. THis brought more insight into the things that i possibly want to do in the future.

Careers in Engineering Power Point
In this assignment we had to take notes on two power points. In the first power point it talked about Engineering and Technologist. Engineering requires desire, hardwork, and education. It also requires good work ethic, leadership skills and education beyond high school. There are various jobs in the engineering feilds such as:mecahnical, eletrical, robot technition, electrical controls, engineer, drafter and so on. A engineer plans, designs and supervises. A technologist develops systems, provides technical expertise, and develop different processes. A technician assist engineers, does research, and works on equipment. An engineer needs to have a strong college background and be strong in alot of different fields. A technologist should have 4 yr bacheolor degree and be good in fields like math and communication. The next powerpoint talked about theintroduction into Engineering. Tools are the first element of all technological systems. Its the study of taking resources and applying a process to make things we need. Technology has seven essential steps:
capital, energy, resources, tools people, information,time
All technology can be classified into 5 categories
Construction, transportation, manufactoring, communication, bio-related
The engineering defintion is similar to the technology one

O*NET Online
During the O*NET onliine task i answered some questions and they genrated the job best for me. The job that came of was nuclear engineer. Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics. It includes, but is not limited to, the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components— specifically, nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants, and/or nuclear weapons. The field may also include the study of nuclear fusion, medical and other applications of (generally ionizing) radiation, nuclear safety, heat/thermodynamics transport, nuclear fuel and/or other related (e.g., waste disposal) technology, nuclear proliferation, and the effect of radioactive waste or radioactivity in the environment.

True Colors Assessment
In the true color assignment it told me what my color was and I was orange. The orange color means you are a persuasive motivator who knows how to get people moving and excited about projects. It sounds like me and the next color that was second was the color blue. A blue kind of person is a inspiring people and building their self-esteem and I have no problem with that so its all cool. (like the color blue)
