#10 Creative Thinking Because we are in a time of rapid social and technological changes the need for engineers to think creatively is greater now than ever before Only through creativity can we cope with and adapt to these changes. If you like to question xplore, invent, discover, and create, then engineering could be the ideal profession for you! 3、Top10 achievements The top 10 Great Achievements of 20th Century Mechanical Engineering 1.The Automobile Henry Ford freed common people from the limitations of geography, creating social mobility on a scale previously unknown 2. Apollo Moon Landing From early test rockets to sophisticated satellites, the human expansion into space is perhaps the most amazing engineering feat 3. Power Generati。n From street lights to supercomputers, electric power makes our lives safer, healthier, and more convenien 4. Agricultural Mechanization The machinery of farms-tractors, cultivators, combines, and hundreds of others-dramatically increased farm efficiency and productivity 5. The airplane Modern air travel transports goods and people quickly around the globe, facilitating our personal cultural and commercial interaction 6.Integrated circuit From vacuum tubes to transistors to integrated circuits, engineers have made electronics smaller more powerful, and more efficient 7. Air conditioning and refrigeration No longer dependent on the weather for work or play, humans truly made the environment adapt to their need 8. CAD/CAM and CAE Technology Computers and imaging technologies are used to design and test a variety of products 9. Bioengineering Artificial organs, replacement joints, and biomaterials are but a few of the engineered products that improve the quality of life for millions 10.
