Robots Reach for Goals
Robots Reach for Goals Robots Reach for Goals Robots Reach for GoalsCaltechs engineering design laboratory class was out to enjoy a little competitionbut one student didnt expect the robotics challenge to be like this.When we were told it would be a soccer competition, we learned you could have up to three robots, says Juliane Preimesberger, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering. We knew it would be a lot of work but it was the way to go.A 2 x 4 bump would be in the way on the course and there would be two goals, one at ground level and the other beginning a foot off the ground. We were going to have robots of different specialties, deciding to build two offensive robots and one defensive, with the defensive robot blocking the goal, she says.Her team, named Blitzkrieg Bots, ultimately went with four motors for each robot, giving them a maximum speed of 3,500 rpm and maximum torque of 2.27 millimeters, she says.Building the BotsAs far as materials, they were torn between aluminu m and wood. In the end, we decided on plywood because of sturdiness,she says. It was fun testing it. We hammered it, we threw it across the room, and mora.Team Blitzkrieg Bots (in the white t-shirts) winners of the ME72 competition 2016. prestige CaltechThey also needed to figure out how to connect the various pieces of the frame so they used more than 200 combined pieces of wood when calculated for the three robots. They could be machined rapidly with a CNC mill.The completed robots were controlled with Xbox controllers. We had a receiver connect between Arduino and the robot, testing first to see if it would move and then would it move the way we wanted it to, she says. By the time the competition came we all learned how to control the robots but we zupflmmeled certain people to be our drivers. We had a mock competition a few weeks before where the whole class got together and played against each other and we were able to see how the robots were doing against other teams.Then it w as time for the competition that counted and Preimesberger says it was a bit tense. We were varying degrees of anxious, she recalls. There was a round robin where youre playing all of the teams and that eliminated one. Now four teams remained for two semifinalist games and then a finalist game.And Then There Were TwoFinding themselves in the final, Preimesberger says there was a big potential problem. Our opponent had the ability to hit the higher goal, worth three points, and the lower goal was only worth one point, she says. They had some sort of elevator shaft it seemed and it allowed them to pick up the ball and raise it up.The crowd was very into it, Preimesberger recalls, with students from multiple elementary schools among the attendees.In the end, victory belonged to her team. We didnt beat them by a lot but we were happy to get the win, she says. We worked on this a long time and it felt great to see our robots working well.And the victory was more than just scoreboard deep . I learned so much about the design process from the project what you have to do when given a problem, bringing ideas, prototyping, and going back to the drawing board when things dont work out, she says. I also learned a great deal on the electrical side and wiring. I have to say that it was a very good experience in working on a team, getting a sense of strengths and weaknesses, and getting a better understanding on how to allocate.Eric Butterman is an independent writer.Learn more about prototyping and 3D printing at ASMEs AM3D Conference Expo.I have to say that it was a very good experience in working on a team, getting a sense of strengths and weaknesses, and getting a better understanding on how to allocate.Juliane Preimesberger, Caltech

Importance of Internships for Your Professional Career
Importance of Internships for Your Professional CareerImportance of Internships for Your Professional CareerHow important is it really to do an internship before applying for a job? Do you need to get the hands-on experience that is talked about when discussing the importance of internships or is it a matter of just landing the right job? During the school year, students may feel overwhelmed with coursework, sports, or co-curricular activities that may keep them extremely busy while leaving no time to think of doing an internship or a job. Many students may also feel that they are caught in a bind since they need to make money to pay for their expenses but they can only find unpaid internships in their field. Getting Your Feet Wet Internships are a proven way to gain relevant knowledge, skills, and experience while establishing important connections in the field. Internships are also a way to get your feet wet and find out if a specific field is something you could landsee yourse lf doingfull-time. Internships may be completed during fall or spring semester or full time over the course of the summer. Unpaid internships may be easier to get but may also pose problems if making money is necessary, especially during the summer. There are many who cannot afford to work for no pay, so they are forced into doing menial jobs such as wait staff or bartending to work their way through college. It may preclude some from doing an internship which may be a detriment when hoping to get a full-time job. Financial Considerations Financial considerations when looking for an internship can make a big difference in the decision-making process. Sometimes, students will take a part-time or full-time job to supplement the time that they are spending at their internship. Whether an internship is paid or unpaid, there are many things that need to be taken into consideration to decide if an internship is worthwhile. Its important to decide if an internship will ultimately be in the best interest of the student to help meet the requirements needed when applying for a full-time job. How to Get Funding for an Internship Some colleges also offer funded internships for students. Check with your college to see if they offer a funded internship program that may help to meet the requirements of your college curriculum while offering experiences that employers seek when hiring new college graduates for entry-level jobs. Many foundations and organizations offer financing to college students so they may try writing to a number of them to see if they provide funding for college students seeking to do internships in their field. Having an Internship and a Job Students may elect to do a summer internship a couple of days per week while working a part-time job for the remainder of the time. For those who need to maximize the amount of money they make over the course of the summer, they may look into doing an internship during the academic year when they are less likely to expect to make money to help defray their college expenses. In addition to internships, volunteer opportunities can also be an excellent way to gain experience and exposure to the workforce. Employers love to see volunteer experiences on a students ?resume. Volunteering shows commitment to causes and certain values that are intrinsic to the individuals who have participated in these types of experiences. Employers look for employees who are publicly engaged and who take an interest in community service and in doing good work. What Employers Want Internships and volunteer experiences make candidates more competitive in the job market. In addition to gaining exposure and experience in the field, they also provide an opportunity to see if the particular career field is the right one based on getting personal experience in the field. No matter what opportunities you engage in, its important to maintain professionalism and take on the individual responsibility that is requ ired. The Benefits of Completing an Internship By doing a great job and completing more than what is required of you in your internship, you will be creating a great impression that can provide a great reference letter at the least, and may even potentially lead to a potential job offer. When you leave the organization at the end of the internship, you should ask for a recommendation letter that you can keep on file for future reference. Internships Are a Learning Experience Internships are a great way to learn the ropes so even if you find yourself filing or making coffee, as long as youre learning about the field take advantage of the opportunity and dont take the experience lightly. Asking questions is one key to learning in an internship and keeping yourself flexible throughout the internship can open many doors.

Marine Corps Customs and Traditions
seestreitkraft korporation Customs and Traditionsseestreitkraft Corps Customs and TraditionsIn the Marine Corps, practically every custom has grown out of the manner in which Marines of the past conducted themselves as well as present Marines honoring Marine heroes of yesterday. Many Marine customs have been incorporated into regulations in order to standardize conduct throughout the Corps, but some of them cannot be found in written directives. Knowing and observing these customs, both written and unwritten, is important to each Marine because it keeps him mindful of the heritage and traditions of his Corps, and of his duty to uphold them. In addition, it makes him feel that he is a part of the team and helps to create the strong bond of loyalty between him and all other Marines that has become a distinguishing mark of the Corps. When you think Marine Corps, you may think of the night in Tun Tavern in 1775 where the first recruitment drive for Marines began in Philadelphia prior to the Revolutionary War. You may think of the terms Jarhead, Leatherneck,, or Devil Dogs, but The Few, The Proud are best known for Semper Fi (always faithful) and being the First to Fight in more than 300 beach landings throughout the 250 year history. Ooh-Rah Marine Corps Birthday One of the most famous Marine customs is the observance of the Marine Corps Birthday. Since 1921 the birthday of the Marine Corps has been officially celebrated each year on 10 November, since it was on this date in 1775 that Continental Congress resolved, That two Battalions of Marines be raised.... Over the years the Marine Corps Birthday has been celebrated in a wide variety of ways, depending on the location and circumstances of the Marine units. The celebration involves the reading of an excerpt from the Marine Corps Manual and a birthday message from the Commandant the cutting of a birthday cake by the commanding officer and the presentation of the first and second pieces of cake to the oldest a nd youngest Marines present. Salutes Some of the most important customs of all are those of military curtesy. In the Marine Corps, curtesy is an expression of respect for the authority possessed by an individual, as well as a demonstration of respect for the Corps as a whole. Through the use of the various forms of military courtesy a Marine says, in effect, As brothers in arms and fellow Marines, I consider you worthy of my respect. When used in this manner, military courtesy assumes one of its most important roles it is an expression of the respect a Marine has for other Marines and for himself. Of all the forms of military courtesy, the various salutes are probably the most important. They are certainly the most obvious and frequently used. Saluting is the traditional form of greeting between men of the profession of arms and it is an honored tradition of military organizations throughout the world. Marines in uniform salute officers (or senior officers), even if that office r is in civilian clothes (assuming the Marine recognizes the individual as an officer). Conversely, its not considered appropriate for a Marine incivilian clothesto initiate a salute to an officer (or senior officer), even if that officer is in uniform. During the playing of the National Anthem, at morning and evening colors, and at funerals, if in civilian dress, Marines uncover and hold the hat over the left breast at such times as those in uniform salute. Many stand at attention when in civilian clothes as well when hearing the National Anthem or the Marines Hymn. Miscellaneous There are many other customs which have significance in the life of a Marine. A few of the notable ones are listed here. Boarding a small boat or entering a car. When boarding a small boat or entering a car, Juniors enter first and take up the seats or the space beginning forward, leaving the most desirable seat for the senior. Seniors enter last and leave first.Serenading the Commandant. Commencing wi th the last New Years Day of the Civil War, on the morning of 1 January of each year the Marine Band serenades the Commandant of the Marine Corps at his quarters and received hot buttered rum and breakfast in return. Wetting Down Parties. Whenever an officer is promoted, he customarily holds a wetting downparty. At this time the new commission is said to be wet down. When several officers are promoted at the same time, they frequently have a single wetting down party.Wishes of Commanding Officer. When the commanding officer of a Marines says, I wish or I desire, these expressions have the force of a direct order and should be acted upon as if he had given a direct order.Looking Out for Your Men. One feature which has made the Marine Corps such a respected organization is the custom of Marine leaders looking out for their men. A Marine leader makes sure his men are comfortably clothed, housed, and justly treated. For example, in thefield,a Marine officer takespositionin the mess line after all the enlisted men in order to ensure all men get their food. A Marine leader never leaves a wounded or dead Marine on the battlefield to fall into the hands of the enemy. Being a Marine.But the most outstanding custom in the Marine Corps is simply being a Marine and all that it implies. Call it morale, call it esprit de corps, call it what you willit is that pride which sets aUnited States Marineapart from the men of other armed services. It is not taught in manuals, yet it is the most impressive lesson a recruit learns inboot camp. It is not tangible, yet it has won fights against material odds. Some Classic Quotes About Marines Senator Paul H. Douglas stated Those of us who have had the privilege of serving in the Marine Corps value our experience as among the most precious of our lives. The fellowship of shared hardships and dangers in a worthy cause creates a close bond of comradeship. It is the basic reason for the cohesiveness of Marines and for the pride we hav e in our corps and our loyalty to each other. A Marine is proud of his Corps and believes it to be second to none. He is loyal to his comrades and to the Marine Corps, adhering always to the motto Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful). Marine have garnered respect from other members in our military and special operations communities as well as the foreign fighters Navy SEAL Chris Kyle stated, In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers. RAdm. J. R.Stark stated Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. Theyre aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. Theyve got really short hair and they always go for the throat. Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army stated There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a secon d-hand opinion.General James F. Amos stated Once a Marine, always a Marine. The title is permanent. Do not use former Marine, as it implies no longer a Marine. Youre a Marine, just in a different uniform and youre in a different phase of your life. But youll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. Theres no such thing as a former Marine. In closing, as the day ends for the Marine recruit attending USMC boot camp, the final words out of the recruits mouth are, Good Night Chesty Puller - wherever you are

5 of the Best Resume Tips for Moms
5 of the Best Resume Tips for Moms5 of the Best Resume Tips for Moms20The kids are in bed. The hubby is watching TV. The house is quiet. Its the perfect time to revamp your resume as the first step in your newfound job seeker status. But as you stare at the old version of your resume on your computer screen, youre stumped. How do you address the time gaps? How do you bulk up your skills?Here are five of the best resume tips for moms who are planning to return to the workforce.Dont use chronological order without strong summary and key skills sections. Traditional resumes will have work history listed from the most current to the oldest. But if you havent worked in eons, you dont want the first thing the hiring manager sees is an old date. Sadly, that can count against you and cost you the job.Instead, structure your resume so that it begins with a career summary and a list of your key skills and proficiencies. The idea is to have your resume departure off with what youve accomplished , notlage the last time you were employed. So make sure that the paragraph spotlights your key qualifications. Below that you can list your work experience in chronological order.Learn how to make ahybrid chrono-functional resume to handle resume gaps.Showcase your skills. Just because you havent been in the workplace for a while doesnt mean you havent amassed new skills. Lets say that you were on the PTO of your childs school, helping spearhead fundraising campaigns. That translates into a project management position. Or perhaps you penned the schools newsletter. That gives you new writing, editing, and reporting skills to put on your resume.Look for the ways in which youve helped out in your childs school, and dont be shy to list them on your resume. They all count as workplace skills that you can use.Keep it professional. Even if you list skills that youve acquired, you should never give a eignung employer too much personal information about yourself. For example, dont mention if your skills were acquired helping your child who is in elementary school, high school, or even college.That way, a potential employer cant calculate approximately how old you are or count it against you if you have young children or older kiddos. And if youve been helping your hubby in his business, try not to reference his name, instead using the businesss name. The goal is to be as professional as possible so youre not eliminated before you have a chance to interview in person.Include any education. Keeping your skills and education fresh are something that employers look for. Sadly, it may be assumed that being a stay-at-home mom means that youve slacked in both areas. So if youve taken an online course, webinar, or a local class, be sure to list it on your resume. Any fresh content that you can include counts in your favorMind your language. Youve spent the last few years volunteering at your kids schools, as well as in your local community. Its not a good idea, though, to use the word volunteer on your resume. Even if youve amassed some great skills, stating that you were a volunteer minimizes not only the importance of what you did, but your potential earnings potential. An employer can read that to mean that he can offer you a lesser salary since youve volunteered in the past. So be sure to give yourself accurate, yet honest titles for the volunteer work that you have done. This will ensure that youre representing yourself in the best light possible. Titles like coordinator, administrator, project manager, and bookkeeper might make solid substitutions.Re-entering the workforce after a long absence requires creativity, and nowhere is that more evident than on your resume. Just keep in mind that you are not lying when you are revamping your resume. By using these resume tips for moms, you are simply shining a spotlight on your real skills and experience that you want a hiring manager to focus on.Start Your Job Search.
