My proyect
My project is about alternative sources of energy that aren't as pollutant to the atmosphere as fossil fuels. The project was made by me and Graisy Marin. My roll in it was to be the leader and technology person. I believe i did my leader roll pretty well by letting Graisy know what needed to be done and the guidelines on how to do it. The technology person roll wasn't much complicated, since we used something we are used to use, wich is power point. Aniway the presentation can be seen at www.wiziq.com, we begin talking at the 84th slide on the 35th second... hope you enjoy it.

Article I chose:
15 Companies That Might Not Survive 2009
With consumers shutting their wallets and corporate revenues plunging, the business landscape may start to resemble a graveyard in 2009. Household names like Circuit City and Linens 'n Things have already perished. And chances are, those bankruptcies were just an early warning sign of a much broader epidemic.
Moody's Investors Service, for instance, predicts that the default rate on corporate bonds - which foretells bankruptcies - will be three times higher in 2009 than in 2008, and 15 times higher than in 2007. That could equate to 25 significant bankruptcies per month.
We examined ratings from Moody's and data from other sources to develop a short list of potential victims that ought to be familiar to most consumers. Many of these firms are in industries directly hit by the slowdown in consumer spending, such as retail, automotive, housing and entertainment.
But there are other common threads. Most of these firms have limited cash for a rainy day, and a lot of debt, with large interest payments due over the next year. In ordinary times, it might not be so hard to refinance loans, or get new ones, to help keep the cash flowing. But in an acute credit crunch it's a different story, and at companies where sales are down and going lower, skittish lenders may refuse to grant any more credit. It's a terrible time to be cash-poor.
That's why Moody's assigns most of these firms its lowest rating for short-term liquidity. And all the firms…

My summary of the article:
This article talks about an important part of industrial engineering; wich is economy. Due to different factors, the United States is suffering from an economic crisis, and this report shows some of the reasons for witch some businesses may close.
I think it’s quite informative and the timing for its release was quiet appropriate.

Interview
My answers:
1. Could you please define Engineering in your own words?
I believe engeniering is a discipline that consists on defining the diverse forms of energy that are in the world with numbers, to try to understand and control many of the variables that surround us and by doing so be able to create and desing all sorts of advance things to make life simpler.
2. What influenced you to pursue Electronics engineering, industrial engeneering, computer science engineering or informatics engineering?
I really like to work with numbers, i picked industrial because I want to be my own boss someday, or at least have many subordinates.
3. Could you please describe the educational process required to become an Engineer?
It's tough, you have to work very hard to obtain something the wright way or to even understand it, and once it's evaluated it may be wrong all the way. You get to see study partners being separated because some of them failed at some subject.
4. What are the skills you need to be a good engineer?
You need to be very smart or be very dedicated to study and be good with numbres.
5. What job considerations were you looking for after you completed your education?
Well due to my carrer and my lack of experience in the work area, I would like to work in any area that involves managment.
6. What's something of your school life that you enjoy the most?
I have a lot of free time and my parents cover me financialy.
7. from your perspective, what is the most difficult part of being an engineering student?
Taking emotional hits when you fail a subject.
8. What are your plans for the future?
To have enough money to suport and raise a family without working for long periods of time so that I could spend a lot of time with them.
9. Point out your most personally gratifying moment in Engineering school.
Once I differed on an opinion with the entire classroom and when the test results came in I was the only one that had it wright.
10. Why would you recommend Engineering as a career?
I would recommend it if you like challenges and want to test yourself and your limits involving inteligence.
