Industrial Engineering

This is a factory where rocks are processed into bags to sell to other companies or people. Here there are many different types of rocks being processed into bags for purchase. People run machines to make sure each bag of rocks can be bagged up and sent to a store for sale. Trucks deliver the rocks to stores and the trucks also bring in rocks from other places to be reused/recycled.

The Quarry

There are two buildings that run the overall business. The building that collects rocks to create the cement and the building that breaks the rocks down and ships them . This is the building that collects rocks with drills and special equipment to be processed later. This building also receives rocks from other places other than just their local mine.

For the next three pictures you'll see different parts of the computer. In this picture, you will be able to see the power supply of the computer and the hard drive. The power supply is what it is called, it supplies the computer with power to make it turn on. Next to it in blue, you'll see the hard drive. The hard drive is the main source of where data is stored. It can range but, the one I have is 1 terabyte of storage

The motherboard, GPU, and cooling fan can be seen. The motherboard is the wiring of the parts of the computer. It allows for each part to connect to it and communicate with one another. The GPU or known more commonly as the graphics card is located where it says GeForce. Now I couldn't take out the whole thing or else I would have to take apart the motherboard because they're attached. The graphics card is in charge of rendering images and videos for your computer. The cooling fan is the fan located in the center of the motherboard. The job of it is to send out the hot air from inside the computer and bring in the cool air from outside the computer.

The ram can be located next to the cooling fan. The ram is known to be the computer's short term memory. It allows apps to store data for a short amount of time. Here there are two sticks of 4 gigabyte DDR4 ram. DDR stands for double data rate and RAM stands for Random Access Memory.

In this picture, you'll be able to see a small model of an invention idea that I thought of. For people with fireplaces, this would be a saver for your wood and fire pit. The idea is that there is a plate placed underneath the fire pit so the ground is even. Then, there is a metal dome with a hook and a latch to release the smoke from the fire. In the small model, the sheet metal represents the plate and the sticks and paper represent the fire pit. The metal dome represents the biggest part! Since fire requires oxygen to burn, placing a dome, like above, on top of the fire it will slowly turn off the fire.

Here you can see that the cover is on top of the fire and will slowly make the fire burn out. After a minute or so, the fire is completely out and if the cover is left on, the wood is safe from getting wet and the fire pit is safe from becoming rusty. Now you might be thinking that the cover would be burning hot, but don't worry there is a hook on the top of the dome so you can pick it up with a pole or a stick. Once the fire has been under the dome for some time, open the valve/latch to let the smoke escape.

This is a short 35 second video that shows how my idea works. If the video doesn't work above try this link

In the job of a lighting engineer, they would design and create lights for places like: parks, concerts, buildings, and even television shows! The picture above is something that a light engineer most likely placed for a park so people could see at night. But the lights that they make sometime are incredible!
