Genetic Engineering: Friend Or Foe Genetic engineering is the artificial manipulation‚ modification‚ and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules in order to modify an organism or population of organisms. Humans have altered the genomes of species for thousands of years through artificial selection and more recently mutagenesis. Genetic engineering as the direct manipulation of DNA by humans outside breeding and mutations has only existed since the 1970s. The term "genetic engineering"

Garrison Katz The Concepts of Audio‚ Engineering “The most important thing about audio engineering is to understand the concepts of mixing. Since there are so many concepts finding the best one in general will be hard‚ I myself don’t think it exists yet”(May). From the dawn of time mankind has had music and every song since the first one is known as the infinity remix. By that I mean that the first concept of the second song is a remix of the first and every “new song” from that point is a

Engineering materials Choice of materials for a machine element depends very much on its properties‚ cost‚ availability and such other factors. It is therefore important to have some idea of the common engineering materials and their properties before learning the details of design procedure. Common engineering materials are normally classified as metals and nonmetals. Metals may conveniently be divided into ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Important ferrous metals for the present purpose

All engineering is based on risks and hazards. Nothing is perfect. A prototype still contains lots of errors. On lower level engineering projects‚ these may not be so harmful but on a higher level project they can be deadly. In 1986‚ the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded during launch‚ taking the lives of six astronauts and one teacher. Questions arose about what factors led to this disaster. I will discuss these factors in terms of general engineering disasters. In an article “Explaining
