Bio+Medical

Bio+medical what do you get.......biomedical. i chose biomedical engineer for my second career cluster in science technology engineering and technology.its a very strang but very important career. they design biological or health systems like they technicaly make artifical organs and prostetics. they research material to be used for the organs and fake limbs. they actually give disabled people a chance to walk and hold things and be almost like a normal person(not that they arent.......they are....its just a saying) i think that these people are life savers and if you think about it they actually are. :)

STEM PUZZLEZ

Why do you think STEM is the only academy that shares a name with one of the 16 Career Clusters.....this is the question my teacher gave me and i cant seem to put a finger on it...i would just be a smart-elek and say that that was what they chose no need for a explanation but that would be wrong and i would get an F so what i say is that instead of taking a bunch of clusters and taking the time to do two careers each which would take forever they decieded to take all the clusters and put them into one big cluster.The next one was....Why do you suppose STEM is the one Career Cluster that matches exactly with one of PCHS's Academies...i cant repeat my first answer so i will say this.... its better to have on big cluster than abuch of tiny little clusters that will take too much class time.

Biofuels and Biodiesel

So today we are on our STEM cluster ( Science Technology Engineering Mathmatics) and for my first career i chose Biofuel/biodiesel technology and product development managers. i couldnt put much since someone else in my class had already done a career in another cluster simaler to that but i made it work....what i did learn is that they define plan or execute biofuels/biodiesel research programs that evaluate alternative feedstock and process technologies with nearterm commercial potenial, its pretty cool actually. I read more on and found out that they design chemical conversion proceses such as etherification esterfication intersterification transesterification distillation hydrogenation oxidation or recdution of fats and oils and vegetable oil refining....big words i dont understand( I'll look them up later :P)but it seems pretty cool......:)

Connections

I have been studying career clusters and i believe that all these careers will help me decide what i want to do with my life when i graduate. I need to make a connection between two careers and see how they relate to one another and i relized that a sociolgist and a social worker alike in a way. I was looking at the two careers and i noticed that both careers involove social groups and how they react to one another, social workers help groups of people get along and sociologist study and analyze body movment posture and reaction to the littlest of things other poeple do. They both require the same degrees ( Masters and Bachelors degree ) and they involve interacting with others.sociologist and social workers both have the same meaning and word in the name(social). so in conclusion Social workers and Sociologists are alike in some maybe alot of ways

Sociologists and Epidemiologists

For my careers in Health Science i chose to study Sociology and Epidemiology. A Sociologist mostly studies and watches people teens and children and see how they act and react to day-to-day things. Since your health revolves around your mental/emotional, physical, and social health its important to know how people react. Sociologists studies these reactions and then figures out were that reaction and behavior originated. As of Epidemiologists, they study and test different diseases ,disabilities, or health outcomes. For this they see what diseases and disabilities are permanant, fatal, or temporary. I do think these careers are important but i dont believe i would do either of them in the future, good thing im just doing the paper for a grade. :) ;P
