Activity 01:
1) Form into your teams
2) Each group will be given a topic card (on a particular research topic)
3) Spend 20 mins to discuss
4) Type findings into the Blog under, "Comments"
(10 mins)
5) Then nominate one person from each group to present
(5 mins each group : total 25 mins)

Civil Engineering(Dementium)
-Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the profession of engineering after military engineering.
Eg.The construction of the dams and power stations that provide the electricity we use every day requires civil engineers
-Help to preserve our environment.
Eg.Assisting in the cleaning up of existing pollution and planning ways to reduce future pollution of our air, land and water.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
An exciting and dynamic field. Electrical engineers are responsible for the generation, transfer and conversion of electrical power, while electronic engineers are concerned with the transfer of information using radio waves, the design of electronic circuits.
Eg.The design of computer systems and the development of control systems such as aircraft autopilots.
Advanced robotics:
- science and technology of designing, making, and applying robots to help with daily lives.
- robots made up of electromechanical system and is able to convey an intent of its own

-Name 4 Attributes Of A Modern Engineer.
1. Technical Skills
An engineer has to be technical and solves problem through practical. He has to have a solid foundation.
2.Team Player
To be able to produce results and work well together in a team. Teamwork is essential.
3.Innovative
-To be creative.
-Able to produce good ideas.
-Improvison.
-Problem Solving Skills
-Critical Thinking.
4.Efficiency
-Submit work punctually.
-Fast worker and also a good worker.

Mechanical Engineering is...
Involves :
Principles of physics
Design
Manufacturing
Mechanical systems.
Principals including drag, force, friction, energy, power, and more.
The study of which helps people understand how their inventions can or should work under the laws of physics and abide by them under certain circumstances.
BioEngineering is...
Similar to, Bio-medical engineering
It works on the aspects of the design of various artificial limbs (Prosthetics) and medicine.
Aerospace engineering is...
The branch of engineering that concerns the design, construction and science behind aircraft and spacecraft..

MEMS Technology
-integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through micro fabrication technology.
- MEMS is an enabling technology allowing the development of smart products, augmenting the computational ability of microelectronics with the perception and control capabilities of microsensors and microactuators and expanding the space of possible designs and applications
A city car is a small, moderately powered automobile intended for use in urban areas are typically between 3.4 m and 3.6 m long.
In future it would be controlled by computer to allow more efficient travel. Fuel would be saved by having the cars a few centimeter apart from each other to make use of drafting and save fuel.
Accidents would also be minimized as the computer knows the vector of each car.
Cars can also be folded into the empty space inside the car so as to take up less space. Something like this:

The cars can also be lifted up by a crane and stored vertically to minimize 2D footprint.
Cars would also fly in the far future to have a smaller 2D footprint:
