Summary of the article “Engineers and Climate”

Climate is one of the most concerns of people since the ancient time. Climate had an important effect on human communication and activities in the past. The forecasting of the climate often depended on religious activities and witchery in ancient society, but as time went on, the forecasting technology has become one of the important sciences. Then how to develop this technology and make the forecasting accurate seems another challenge to human beings. The forecasting has become important because it is not only the prediction of the weather that affects our timetable of activities but also the matter that can save lives. The forecasting of the droughts, floods and other nature disaster can save lots of people. Meteorology is related to physical background and we engineering students just need to have a good knowledge of physics. So engineers can make a contribution to this field as well. A hot issue nowadays is the destroying of the atmosphere caused by greenhouse gas which is mainly carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect makes the temperature increase and the sea level increase, which threatens our life. How to deal with such problems are also the challenges that faced the engineers although they are more concerned to science, since many technologies and the knowledge that used are grasped by engineers. So engineers also need to care about the issues in other fields as to mostly benefit the humans.

difficulties in studing MLE1101

As one of my core modules, MLE1101 is the most difficulty module for me to study. This module is about material science and needs a high level of chemistry. For me, i do not have chemistry background and it is difficult to change English into Chinese, because there are so many new words with a lot of letters. Mostly the questions are also difficult to comprehend, not to mention how to solve the problem. Actually for me, it related to the English level more or less. It will be easy for me to understand the questions and to express myself exactly if i can improve my English. So i need to put more effort in English studying beside MLE if i want to have a big improvement in this module. Anyway, i need to work hard now since i was busy doing concert the few weeks passed. ahaha
