In this article the author mentioned different technique where he tried to make driving safer and easier by developing an intelligent co-pilot for cars. In this article the author mentions Sterling Anderson's work, who’s a PhD student in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. With the help of his partner/researcher he developed semi-autonomous safety system where the camera and laser rangefinder to identify hazards in a vehicle’s environment. the author mentions the use and advantage of the system and said "  The system allows a driver to control the vehicle, only taking the wheel when the driver is about to exit a safe zone." (Chu,2012). He made this system effective for drivers and their surroundings. The system works in the background while the driver is driving and if he makes a mistake serious enough to make collusion, the system acts to make sure you avoid it. After it was developed the system has been tested 1200 times to make sure if it's working properly. With all their research and experiments on the system they believe that they are working on something that could end up being in our cars in the near future.

This is a professional article because this article was written by a MIT officer and Massachusetts institute of technology is a well know institute. Well in my opinion i think this is a very good idea that can help a lot of drivers in the future and could make driving a lot safer. The impact of this technology in the future will be so helpful that i think almost every car will introduce this technology in their cars, through which driving will become safer. This article definitely tells us  the role of a working engineer. Through this article it tells us that engineers in their field perform different operations where they test their inventions like how they perform or if they're safe or not. In their life they do a lot of research and scientific study to invent their product that is going to work perfectly.

Tech writing first blog

Hi my name is syed haider and this is my first year in LaGuardia College and i am studying mechanical engineering. This is my first blog for my technical writing class. My education/career plan is to get a degree in engineering and a job as a mechanical engineer to be specific i want to work in automobile field as a engineer. I am really interested in mechanical engineering because i love cars and i want to go into  automobile field. Now a days everything involves technology and with new technology my interest grew more towards it,with all these new things i got close to technology and as i child i also wanted to know how these things work such as car and robots. A lot of people in Laguardia and in other colleges are interested in engineering because now technology is taking over everything. People might not have the same interest like me but there are people who are really passionate about it. I prefer writing over reading but i do read articles about technology and some sports articles because i love sports too. the kind of writing that i do involves essay writing and journal writing, mostly related to school work.
