...icycles, and heavy duty industrial machines all rely on common gears, and without different types of gears we wouldn’t be able to live in the modern society that is today. We know how they've helped us build modern civilization; it'll be exciting to see what they help us accomplish in the future.
There is a very famous maxim, “You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” I strongly believe in this quotation. My desire for knowledge was never ending. Machines fascinated me since my childhood. I always wondered what the mystery behind their functioning was. So I chose to study mechanical engineering. I learned many things about the machines, the more I learn about them through the research the more they enthralled me. I developed a strong interest towards manufacturing field when I started studying manufacturingtechnology in my 4th semester. I gradually fell in love with those processes. Though my college helped me to solve my enigma, my never ending crave for knowledgein manufacturing inclined me to study in your University which is the most promising academy for a student like me, where study and research go hand in hand. It is superfluous to mention, university of Hartford is the best place to learn manufacturing technology.
Completing high school education from an illustrious junior college, my academic accomplishments at school earned me admission in Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai. Ranked 3rd in the southern region of India by Outlook and The Week, and is affiliated to prestigious Anna University. I am pursuing my bachelors in Production Engineering. I have a commodious curriculum which enunciates on latest manufacturing techniques, production management until my junior year. In my senior year, I have electives like Operation's research, Ergonomics. This opened the gates to the field of Industrial engineering and that moment, I realized that manufacturing alone is not the crux of an Industry but there are many other segments, which have to be given equal importance for the amelioration of the Industry, which made me decide to augment my knowledge to these areas rather than merely focusing on manufacturing.
Real knowledge, like everything else of the highest value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more than all, it must be prayed for”
Engineers and scientist create and build machines, that are meant to benefit the human race, but the consequences for these advancements are not always positive. For scientist and engineers, technological exploration is an everyday task. They are always finding out whether or not something is plausible through experimentation and tests. Using the information from past experiments, they refer to it to further advance the capability of solving a problem presently presented. This overlapping of information is the building blocks for new things that could be made in the future.
When people think of robots, an image of a mechanical, stiff, talking, moving, human-like machine might come to mind. Robots are, in fact, computerized machines that are ultimately utilized to simplify larger scale tasks. They include control machines, computer controllers, or microprocessor based automated systems just to name a few. The ultimate goal of industrial engineering is to expedite processes; therefore, with such developed and modern technology, the manufacturing process is more efficient, cost effective, and there is almost no human error. With all its benefits the automation and robotics movement has made way for new fetes and greater prospects in economic terms for large-scale firms.
Everyone has different opinions on new machinery with technology. Some people love it and many dislike it. It is hard for some people to get use to, and hard to understand how to use it. I feel like machines are a positive thing but, they can also be a negative thing. It is hard for me to choose whether I like them or dislike them, because I like them and sometimes I don’t.

Simple machines possess a science behind them that provides work with a fraction of the effort. According to the United States Lerner Publishing Group, “Machines allow people to apply force and to do more work than could be done with muscle power alone, and force can be applied more efficiently” (Woods 2). Work equals force times distance; therefore, when machines are used, they lessen the force or effort required to achieve the work. The consequence is that people have to travel a farther distance when decreasing their amount of effort. Whether people trade less force for more distance, or vice versa, they still endure an equal amount of work. Simple machines also allow people to change the direction of their applied force, which may provide a simpler task as well. Western Michigan University states that the input force equals the work put into the machine and the output force is the work accomplished by the machine (Wakild 4). A lever is a perfect exampl...
