ENES 100
Hi, my name is Stephen Medina I'm an engineering student at Howard Community College, Howard County Maryland

This is my engineering project portfolio. These are the classes I've had projects in.


 * /enes-100/ Introduction to Engineering Projects

/HCC Group 4/

The 2 topics I want to learn would be Electronics, more specifically would be the Arduino, and the other topic would be Programming, also more specifically would be C language to program the Arduino. Arduino/Software Install

Information on Arduino's would be here.

What I've Learned This Course
During this course, as a student, I've learned a lot about Arduino, and how to program Arduino. I've learned how to present in front of a decent amount of people and also how to create very well put together presentations. I learned how to use a breadboard, and also how to create CADD designs for the project that I would be putting together. Most importantly I learned how to use Wikiversity to the best that I could and that I know. I also learned how many different types of Bridges there are. Each different type of bridge has their own way of supporting a certain amount of pressure on it so it can distribute that stress out evenly and not be able to break very easily. There are:


 * 1) Arch bridges – These bridges uses arch as a main structural component (arch is always located below the bridge, never above it). They are made with one or more hinges, depending of what kind of load and stress forces they must endure. Examples of arch bridge are “Old Bridge” in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina and The Hell Gate Bridge in New York.
 * 2) Beam bridges – Very basic type of bridges that are supported by several beams of various shapes and sizes. They can be inclined or V shaped. Example of beam bridge is Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southern Louisiana.
 * 3) Truss bridges – Very popular bridge designs that uses diagonal mesh of posts above the bridge. The two most common designs are the king posts (two diagonal posts supported by single vertical post in the center) and queen posts (two diagonal posts, two vertical pots and horizontal post that connect two vertical posts at the top).
 * 4) Cantilever bridges – Similar in appearance to arch bridges, but they support their load not trough vertical bracing but trough diagonal bracing. They often use truss formation both below and above the bridge. Example of cantilever bridge is Queensboro Bridge in New York City.
 * 5) Tied arch bridges – Similar to arch bridges, but they transfer weight of the bridge and traffic load to the top chord that is connected to the bottom cords in bridge foundation. They are often called bowstring arches or bowstring bridges.
 * 6) Suspension bridges – Bridges that use ropes or cables from the vertical suspender to hold the weight of bridge deck and traffic. Example of suspension bridge is Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
 * 7) Cable-stayed bridges – Bridge that uses deck cables that are directly connected to one or more vertical columns. Cables are usually connected to columns in two ways – harp design (each cable is attached to the different point of the column, creating harp like design of “strings” and fan design

The cool thing about each bridge is that they all have their own capabilities to do their own thing and withstand certain stress so nothing does break. It's very interesting to know that some engineer has built these kind of things in order to get people across land or across anything really.
