That's it for now, but I will keep looking.
Apr 28, 2010
Why do we need standard units in Engineering? We need standard units to be able to communicate facts, measurements, durations clearly and precisely. At least that’s the intent. The metric system was adopted in 1960. The problem of standard units for the whole world remains unsolved, for example the United States is one of the few developed societies that hasn’t converted to the metric system: Celsius, meter, grams, etc. It still uses the English system: Fahrenheit, feet, yards, miles, pounds, ounces, etc. There is more cooperation on standard units in engineering and scientific communities.
“By the eighteenth century, dozens of different units of measurement were commonly used throughout the world. Length, for example, could be measured in feet, inches, miles, spans, cubits, hands, furlongs, palms, rods, chains, leagues, and more. The lack of common standards led to a lot of confusion and significant inefficiencies in trade between countries. At the end of the century, the French government sought to alleviate this problem by devising a system of measurement that could be used throughout the world. In 1790, the French National Assembly commissioned the Academy of Science to design a simple decimal-based system of units; the system they devised is known as the metric system. In 1960, the metric system was officially named the Système International d'Unités (or SI for short) and is now used in nearly every country in the world except the United States. The metric system is almost always used in scientific measurement.”

“One might think people would have a very good number sense, but as it turns out, people do not. Experiments have shown that the average person has a number sense that is around four. People groups in the world today that have not developed finger counting have a hard time discerning the quantity four. They tend to use the quantities one, two and many-which would include four. …
So what separates people from the rest of the animal kingdom? It may include many things, but the ability to count is very much one of them. Counting, which usually begins at the end of our own hands or fingers, is usually taught by another person or possibly by circumstance. It is something that we should never take lightly for it has helped advance the human race in countless ways. “
http://www.math.wichita.edu/history/topics/num-sys.html#sense
Old customs are hard to change. It might be more practical to “eyeball” a measurement instead of using a ruler, a scale, a measuring cup or other instrument. I wondered if there is some biological aspect to number recognition. I was surprised to learn that humans are not really different in their number sense than other animals.
“There was little need for a numeric system until groups of people formed clans, villages and settlements and began a system of bartering and trade that in turn created a demand for currency.”
http://www.math.wichita.edu/history/topics/num-sys.html#hindu-arabic
Human counting ability has been extended by more advanced mathematical concepts and tools. Engineering and scientific notation was developed to express very small or very large numbers. The origin of scientific notation is controversial. Some sources say it was Descartes who invented it. Other sources say it was Archimedes. But the actual term “scientific notation” first came into use in the 1960s by computer scientists.
“The Oxford English Dictionary (http://www.oed.com/) keeps records of the first time that any particular word appears in print. The first recorded use of the term scientific notation goes back to 1961 in the third edition of the New international dictionary of the English language.
The next recorded use of the word in the Oxford English Dictionary comes from 1963 in Digital Computer Technol. & Design, “The power of the base appearing in an expression which is in scientific notation in effect indicates the position of the point.” The 1963 quote above makes it clear that scientific notation referred to any number of the form first number times (second number raised to third number). In modern usage, the second number is always 10 in scientific notation, and the more general term exponential notation can be used when this second number is different.”

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_invented_scientific_notation
What is the standard unit used to measure Voltage? Current? Resistance?
"The volt is the quantity of electric potential energy per unit charge measured in joules per coulomb.
James Prescott Joule first proved that heat was a form of energy so the unit of energy most commonly used by physicists, joules, was named after him.
A joule is the amount of energy required (or work performed) when applying a force of 1 newton (1 newton=0.2248 pounds) over a distance of 1 meter. There is a famous legend about apples falling on Isaac Newton's head, and a small apple weighs roughly one newton. So think of a joule as roughly the energy required to lift an apple from the floor to a table, roughly 1 meter.
One can also understand how much energy a joule is by noting that a 100 watt light bulb emits 100 joules of energy each second. To convert between joules and calories, 1 calorie equals 4.186 joules.
An erg is a very small energy unit that is still occasionally used by scientists. An erg is 1 ten millionth of a joule. (1 erg=1E-7 joule) Think of an erg as very roughly the amount of energy it takes a flea to jump."
“Between 1785 and 1787, the French physicist Charles Augustine de Coulomb performed a series of experiments involving electric charges, and eventually established what is nowadays known as Coulomb's law. According to this law, the force acting between two electric charges is radial, inverse-square, and proportional to the product of the charges. Two like charges repel one another, whereas two unlike charges attract.”
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node28.html
“Opposite charges will produce an attractive force while similar charges will produce a repulsive force. The greater the charges, the greater the force. The greater the distance between them, the smaller the force.
Quantity of charge can be measured in either elementary charges (an elementary charge is the amount of charge on one electron or proton) or in Coulombs. An elementary charge is a very tiny unit of charge. Since it is so small it is not usually a convenient unit to measure typical amounts of charge. It would be similar to measuring distances from one town to the next, in millimeters.
On the other hand, a coulomb is an incredibly large unit of charge. It is actually too large a unit of charge for talking about electrostatics (stationary charges) but it is an appropriately sized unit as we begin describing the quantity of charge moved in an electric circuit.
Unfortunately, we are stuck with either one unit or the other: 1Coulomb = 6.3x10^18 elementary charges; 1elementary charge = 1.6x10^-19 Coulomb.”
http://regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/acoulomb/default.htm
A volt is the amount of work 1 joule performs on moving 1 Coulomb of electric charge. This an astronomical number of electrons. A trillion is a million million. A Coulomb is 6 .3 billion billion electrons. In other words it is 6.3 million trillion electrons.
“Electric current is measured as the amount of electric charge transferred per unit time.” The SI unit of electric current is the ampere defined as 1 coulomb per second.
http://physics.about.com/od/glossary/g/Current.htm
“In order for a current to exist in a conductor, there must be an electromotive force (emf), or potential difference, between the conductor’s ends. An electric cell, a battery of cells, and a generator are all sources of electromotive force.”
http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/electricity
Electrical resistance is a material’s opposition to the flow of electrons; measured in ohms.
“An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance. Resistance is the hindrance to the flow of charge. For an electron, the journey from terminal to terminal is not a direct route. Rather, it is a zigzag path which results from countless collisions with fixed atoms within the conducting material. The electrons encounter resistance - a hindrance to their movement. While the electric potential difference established between the two terminals encourages the movement of charge, it is resistance which discourages it. The rate at which charge flows from terminal to terminal is the result of the combined affect of these two quantities.”
http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/circuits/u9l3b.cfm
Ohm’s law describes the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R); V = I R or I = V/R or R = V/I.
So many of the measurements and instruments in biomedical engineering are derived from electronic sources that a degree of familiarity with the physical relationships is essential.

open a joint account at a local bank - since your daughter is a minor she could not have an account in her name only, anyway. Social Security only sends checks electronically through direct deposit - not through the mail - therefore the need for the account.
as for how the money is used I found this on the social security website:
SSA Publication No. 05-10085, September 2004, ICN 468550 [View .pdf]

About 3.8 million children receive approximately $1.6 billion each month because one or both of their parents are disabled, retired or deceased. Those dollars help to provide the necessities of life for family members and help to make it possible for those children to complete high school. When a parent becomes disabled or dies, Social Security benefits help to stabilize the family’s financial future. NOTE: Disabled children whose parents have little income or resources may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income benefits. Contact us to get a copy of the publication, Benefits For Children With Disabilities (Publication No. 05-10026). |

My daughter was approved for ssi threw a judge with no lawyer. I received a phone call today saying that i have to use this money for her disability only and i have to open a dedicated account. She is bipolar I asked if i could use the money to keep a house over her head. They said no the back pay is only used for her disability she could not tell me what i can use this money for that she would not need a wheel chair, ect ect. Because bipolar is just a mental disorder and her medication is already paid. I said to her so you are telling me that her money will just sit in this account because i can't use it for stuff like electric bill, phone to call the doctor she said no just her disability at least i am using it to take care of her. I have to keep all records when i take the money out and show what i used it for. Did anyone ever hear of a dedicated account and i am only getting it in 3 installments. And the installments are not that much. Thank you for any replys about this issue it would be very helpful.First my daughter is 9 she is going to camp this summer but her insurance pays for it. And more about me i am not well my self in march i had my armpit removed because i had staph infection really bad when i came home i still did not fill well i went back to my doctor to find out i had MRSA (SUPERBUG) and my arm is still opened alittle will not heal. I am on 13 medications. I don't want to live like this i want to be part of society and work but i can't due to my illnesses. I didn't have enough work credits to receive SSD. So i was approved for SSI it it is enough to pay the rent and where I live there is no apartments that have section 8. I moved in a doublewide and we have to pay rent, mortage, and property tax's, I moved in with my parents that didn't work out because my dad got very sick he passed away March 20th 2008 the day I had surgery, I moved in to a friends house that didn't work because she had 40 cats and the smell was not good for my children thats why i moved in this. So it has not been easy for my children or I. My son was on home bound all school year and i was running him to school 3 x's aweek and with the gas prices going up that didn't help me. I don't want any pity from anyone but trying to live its been very hard.
But again thank you for your inputs I guess they would rather have us on the streets and living in are car then let us pay the bills that need to be paid.

Two easy ways to do this:

- Or, if you want to start a separate thread - make a new page.
Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.

I am a student struggling to make it so that I can have a future and not have to continue working jobs for 7.50 an hour and barely having anything to eat. I don't even have a sofa right now because food is more important

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Need Scholarship for Bipolar student"
Nancy, I am also in pursuit of scholarship money for a bipolar child. My girl is 17 and is a very talented high functioning musician, who has some challenges in school with the logistics of it, but not the learning. The schools don't get it.

I am an Engineering student who is on the verge of frustration. I have recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and while, I hate to admit that this may be the source of my problems with keeping up with my chool work, it is a problem that I must face. I am now also faced with an inability to pay for my next year in college. Tuition and board comes to about $20,000 a year. I'll be pleased if any form of aid is made to me. KNow also that you'd have made a great ally and friend in me as well.
Thanks for reading

I am the mother of a 20-year-old bipolar son who is pursuing an engineering degree in aerospace design. We are in desperate need of scholarship money to send him to Rose-Hulman next fall. The approximate cost is $40,000 per year! I am a single mother and was unfortunately unemployed for a year until just recently. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Being the first of four boys means sacrifice in my family. Years of giving up new school clothes and bikes so my brothers could have more, alongside watching my mother struggle for years has me tired of not having anything for myself. I do not wish to struggle like my mother.
Media Tech Institute will provide the skills in Audio Engineering and Studio Techniques, Audio Engineering for Film and Television Production, Producing and Songwriting, as well as Live Sound Reinforcement so that I may begin my life in a way that no one in my family has ever experienced.

I am in the process of finishing my mathematics/ water resource engineering dual degree. When I finish I hope to either work for the government purifying water or as a missionary overseas purifying water. As of right now I have no more money for school as I am starting my 6th year of school.

I plan to attend college this fall and need funding assistance. I'm enrolled in the pre-engineering program. My parents are able to provide limited assistance due to the fact that they will have four children attending college. I'm a young Native American male with plans to pursue an education in the engineering field. I plan to work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in transportation.

I am a sophmore, mechanical engineering major (3.0 GPA) student, currently attending Savannah State University in Savannah, GA. I am in need of some type of aid to help cover the overwhelming costs of tuition and textbooks. After earning a Bachelor's degree, I plan to continue my education at Georgia Institute of Technology and earn my master's degree in Mechanical engineering. I believe my creativity and strong work ethic will make me a valuable asset in the industry.
I am also interested in internship opportunities availiable in any field of engineering. I am most specifically looking to gain experience in mechanical engineering but I value the opportunity to learn from and work along side engineers of all professions.
