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?
Provide Bibliography to cite any sources used (does not contribute towards page count).
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.
• Please include work cited
