This blog is a small summary of my team project I did in my engineer class.
Best Tower had to create a tower that meet the criteria 75 cm or higher. The tower had to hold 295g at the top of the tower. Best Tower only use approximately 40 index cards and 30 label sticker. We folded the legs of the tower into triangles. The design idea come from my partner Marisa. The base of the tower had the most legs. We just add a extra leg as we went up level. Approximately at 40 cm we reduce the legs to just four legs per level. We had total of ten level in our tower meeting the high requirement. We made the tower in 20 minutes and the tower hold the weight longer than ten minutes. To be honest with the time, cost, and material restriction the only thing I will do different is spending more time with making the legs. To make sure the tower legs was even on the corners. Making the tower legs more steady. I believe the tower would hold for additional ten minutes. Best tower design was the quickest and the cheapest project in our class. We was the first company done with their project.

4/20/2017 Eng100 Filmbase project Why Not In the film, Survivor, screenwriter Philip Shelby writes about Kate Abbott , an American security expert newly transferred to U.S embassy in London. Abbott do a series of background check , if she think you may cost harm to the U.S. In particular, Abbott’s suspicion is awaked by a Romanian scientist specializing in gases who claims to be going to United States for a medical conference. Abbott’s superior make sure the Romanian scientist got in the United States so he can start his master plan of a terrorist attack in Times Square with the Watchmaker. Abbott on a man hunt with the Watchmaker and the London Embassy. She finally find out the plot against America , so she went to Time Square and save Millions of innocent people. After watching this movie , I ask myself should America allow immigrants into the country? Yes, America should allow immigrants into the country because America was built on immigrants and the Declaration of Independence states that everyone is created equal with unalienable rights. People who come to live in a new country are called immigrants. Over the past 400 years, immigrants have had different reasons to come to America. Some immigrants came to America to escape wars. Other for the freedom to practice their religion without consequences. Still other came for the chance to own land or simply for a chance to work and escape for being poor. During 1607-1830 was the first wave of immigrants , approximately 1.2 million people came to America. The early immigrants were northwestern Europe, as can be seen from the ethnic of 1790: English 49% , African 19%, Scots-Irish 8%, Scottish 7%, German 7%, Dutch 4%, other 3%. Except for the enslaved Africans, the first wave of immigrants generally had an easier time being accepted as American. Many Americans wrongly believe that immigration hurts the economy. I was always hear immigrants taking jobs from American and lower their wages by working for less. According to a report published on Wednesday by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, prove immigrants are not take your jobs for less money. I know many American workers, struggling to recover from the recession , have said they feel squeezed out by immigrants. Fact are immigrants are entrepreneurs who create jobs. “According to a study of the bipartisan immigration bill passed in Senate in 2014, provisions in the bill could potentially bring between 336,000 and 470,000 undocumented immigrant entrepreneurs into the formal economy.” said National Council of La Raza in Immigrant Aren’t Taking Americans’ Jobs Immigration gives the United States an economic edge in the world economy. Immigrants bring ideas and entrepreneurial spirit to the U.S. economy. They keep our economy flexible, allowing U.S producers to keep prices down and to respond to changing consumer demands. “An authoritative 1997 study by the National Academy of Science(NAS) concluded that immigration delivered a “significant positive gain” to the U.S economy.” said Daniel Griswold in “Immigrants Have Enriched American Culture and Enhanced Our Influence in the World.” In 2013, immigrants added $1.6 trillion to total U.S. gross product. Immigrant entrepreneurs have also played a significant role in advancing technological and creating businesses. “Some of the most influential entrepreneurs in the United States are immigrants or children of immigrants” said Cesar Maximiliano Estrada in “How Immigrants Positively Affect the Business Community and the U.S Economy” We also wouldn’t have all these good foods in our country if someone didn't’ originally bring them here. I don’t know about you, but I love my mexican food and my pizza. Apple pie is a nice treat, but I wouldn’t want to be eating every single day. The culture they bring with them also helps our economy, because if a new type of food arrives in the USA. Immigrants have played an important role in building the United States, and they still continue to carry that mission today. Its is up to us and the Congress to reform the immigration system. The second paragraph of the United States Declaration of Independence said “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights.” Since God granted such rights the government could not take them away. In America, this fundamental truth is recognized and enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.
