CDM_Video Proposal

This project presents an excellent opportunity to educate others about topics that they are not familiar with or haven’t considered before. As an engineering student, I have learned a lot about different kinds of technology that our society relies on and how they are built. From skyscrapers, to airbags to MRI machines, engineers design our world and are constantly trying to increase the quality of the products they build. I intend to take clips from different engineering projects, hopefully from each engineering discipline, and mesh them together. This will be done with the software adobe premiere, and while I have some experience in it from class, I still need to practice using the software in order for the video to turn out the way I want. I would like to include at least one 8-10 second clip from each discipline, the disciplines are as follows: Aerospace, Biomedical, Civil, Chemical, Computer, Electrical, Industrial and Mechanical. Each of these engineering disciplines design products we rely on, and I want to keep the concepts simple and relevant to everyday life. I don’t not intend to try and make one discipline look better than the other ones, nor I do I want to make anything look more complicated that it really is, however I would like people to be surprised by how the work engineers do affects their lives. One example of this would be clean water. The process of cleaning and distributing water is very difficult, I do not intend to explain the process, rather inform the class that the engineers at ALCOSAN work hard in order to help serve the community with something essential for living.
