Architectural Engineering Degree

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I am interested in pursuing a career as an architect. I like planning and drawing and am good with shapes, number, trigonometry and general math. Engineering is attractive to me. What options do I have to earn an architectural engineering degree?

Architectural engineering, also known as building engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering discipline, that offers a general engineering approach to the planning, design, construction, operation, renovation, and maintenance of buildings, as well as with their impacts on the surrounding environment. The discipline requires pertinent knowledge integrated from traditional well-established disciplines:

* Civil engineering for building structures and foundation;

* Mechanical engineering for Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning system (HVAC), and for mechanical service systems;

* Physics for building science, lighting and acoustics.

* Electrical engineering for power distribution, control, and electrical systems;

* Chemistry and biology for indoor air quality;

* Architecture for form, function, building codes and specifications;

* Economics for project management.

Architectural engineering students are ideally trained in all phases of the life cycle of a building, and learn to appreciate buildings as an advanced technological system requiring close integration of many sub-systems and their individual components.[opinion needs balancing] Technical problems and appropriate solutions are studied to improve the performance of the building in areas such as:

* Energy efficiency, passive solar engineering, lighting and acoustics;

* Construction management;

* HVAC and control systems; Indoor air quality;

* Advanced building materials; building envelope;

* Earthquake resistance, wind effects on buildings, computer-aided design.

The architectural engineering degree graduate may work as a consulting engineer, design engineer, project manager, construction manager, cost engineer, facility manager, conservation-utility director, HVAC engineer, operation manager, process engineer, or in research and development, among other career possibilities.

Business Website Designer

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

As a small business owner, I recognize the need to hire a cost effective business website designer. But this area is new to me. What options are available? What type of website do I need? This website includes information about business website design and recommendations to benefit the small business owner.

What is entailed in making a website? In summary, web design is the skill of creating presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia like online video) that is delivered to an end-user over the Internet, by way of a Web.

The intent of an effective business website designer is to create a profitable web site. Simply put, this is a collection of electronic documents and applications that reside on a web server and present content and interactive features/interfaces to the end user in form of Web pages once requested. Such elements as text, bit-mapped images (GIFs, JPEGs) and forms can be placed on the page using HTML/XHTML/XML tags. Displaying more complex media (vector graphics, animations, videos, sounds) requires plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, QuickTime, Java run-time environment, etc. Plug-ins are also embedded into web page by using HTML/XHTML tags.

Improvements in browsers’ compliance with recognized web best practices prompted a widespread acceptance and usage of XHTML/XML in conjunction with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to position and manipulate web page elements and objects. Latest standards and proposals aim at leading to browsers’ ability to deliver a wide variety of content and accessibility options to the client possibly without employing plug-ins.

Typically web pages are classified as static or dynamic:

* Static pages don’t change content and layout with every request unless a human (web master/programmer) manually updates the page. A simple HTML page is an example of static content.

* Dynamic pages adapt their content and/or appearance depending on end-user’s input/interaction or changes in the computing environment (user, time, database modifications, etc.) Content can be changed on the client side (end-user’s computer) by using client-side scripting languages (like JavaScript). Dynamic content is often compiled on the server utilizing server-side scripting languages (Perl, PHP, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion, etc.). Both approaches are usually used in complex applications like databases or ecommerce catalogs.

Web design is a kind of graphic design intended for development and styling of objects of the Internet’s information environment to provide them with high-end consumer features and aesthetic qualities. The offered definition separates web design from web programming, emphasizing the functional features of a web site, as well as positioning web design as a kind of graphic design.

The process of designing web pages, web sites, web applications or multimedia for the Web may utilize multiple disciplines, such as animation, authoring, communication design, corporate identity, graphic design, human-computer interaction, information architecture, interaction design, marketing, photography, search engine optimization and typography.

Dallas Carpet Cleaner

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

he most effective Dallas carpet cleaner is a truck mounted carpet cleaner that brings is effective on both carpet and upholstery cleaning. The truck contains a unit that is generally mounted to the floor of a van or trailer. Its cleaning method is hot water extraction. The Dallas carpet cleaner will park the van near the premises and connect the vacuum hose and solution line hose into the machine, bring the hoses into the building and connect a carpet cleaning wand to the end of the hoses.

Typical small machines start off at 16 horse power and range up to anything to 60 horse power Van powered P.T.O. units are available on the market. Truck Mounted units heat their water by one of two methods. -The first is by heat -exchanger. This heating method runs water through a coil of copper which is then placed in a stainless steel tube which has exhaust from the unit running over it. Good news: this method super-heats the water in just seconds. The second is by a small hot water heater that is powered by propane gas. This type of unit is usually less expensive to purchase but ultimately more expensive due to the weekly cost of propane.

Traditionally, tTruck mounted carpet cleaning machines have been more powerful than portable carpet cleaning units. Recent changes in technology have allowed portable manufacturers to match the previously unsurpassed power of a truck mounted carpet cleaning machines. The primary advantage lies with the user. The quick setup and relatively easy use of the truck mount makes it among most professional cleaners. Regrettably the cost, usually between $10,000.00 to $35,000.00 US, makes it cost prohibitive for many carpet cleaning professionals. Currently it is estimated that only 28% of professional carpet cleaners currently use Truck Mounted Carpet Cleaning Machines.

Main components of the carpet cleaning machine

A gasoline or diesel engine powers a high pressure pump and vacuum blower by direct drive. The engine will generally have a starter motor fitted alone with a pull starter and an alternator that charges the battery and supplies 12 volt DC current to all the electrical components The vacuum blower lifts the dirty water from the carpet. The high pressure water pump blasts heated water and chemical onto the carpet. Additionally, several heat exchanges are fitted to the machine that heat the water up through the exhaust manifold system. Most machines have a mixer tank/water box which is a holding tank that store water for the high pressure pump on demand. Some machines have a magnetic water softener fitted to prevent build up of minerals to protect the pluming components Some systems in America fit a de-ionizer to the plumbing to purify the water to protect the plumbing components and to give greater cleaning effect An on demand electrical fuel pump is bolted to the fuel tank or the machine and supplies the carburetor or injectors on the engine with a fuel tank that is normally fitted to the chase of the van to supply the fuel pump.

Computer Support Specialist

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

A computer support specialist offers IT service or technical support service is often subdivided into tiers, or levels, in order to better serve a business or customer base. The computer support service is generally classified as Level 1, 2, and 3. The number of levels a business uses to organize their technical support group is dependent on a business’ need, want, or desire as it revolves around their ability to sufficiently serve their customers or users. The reason for providing a multi-tiered support system instead of one general support group is to provide the best possible service in the most efficient possible manner. A common support structure revolves around a three-tiered technical support system.

Computer Support Specialist Level 1

This is the initial support level responsible for basic customer issues. Also known as first-line support, level 1 support, front-end support, support line 1, and various other headings denoting basic level technical support functions. The first job of a Level 1computer support specialist is to gather the customer’s information and to determine the customer’s issue by analyzing the symptoms and figuring out the underlying problem. Understanding the problem is sometimes half the battle. When analyzing the symptoms, it is important for the computer support technician to identify what the customer is trying to accomplish so that time is not wasted on “attempting to solve a symptom instead of a problem.” Once identification of the underlying problem is established, the specialist can begin sorting through the possible solutions available. Technical support specialists in this group typically handle straightforward and simple problems while “possibly using some kind of knowledge management tool.” This includes troubleshooting methods such as verifying physical layer issues, resolving username and password problems, uninstalling/reinstalling basic software applications, verification of proper hardware and software set up, and assistance with navigating around application menus. Personnel at this level have a basic to general understanding of the product or service and may not always contain the competency required for solving complex issues. Nevertheless, the goal for this group is to handle 70%-80% of the user problems before finding it necessary to escalate the issue to a higher level.
