Energy Deregulation in New York and California
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. When California Legislators decided to institute electric industry restructuring in 1996, it was believed by many that the deregulated industry would offer consumers a way to make better choices and to have lower rates for their electrical and utility services. The decision to deregulate is under fire in California. That state has seen not only increasing rates but also blackouts which have caused Governor Gray Davis to step in and urge the California Public Utilities Commission to adjust its rates. This chaos in California is being closely watched by other states that are also experimenting with the deregulation of the electric industry. The focus in this paper is on the states of New York and California and the impact of energy deregulation. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Engineering Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page paper provides an overview of this issue. William LeMessurier's decision to withhold information from the public regarding the structural defects of the Citicorp building in New York City, and to later expose his knowledge about the flaws, has often been viewed as a very ethical way of dealing with a difficult situation. LeMessurier has been touted as one example of an ethical respondent in a situation that seemed to almost warrant unethical behavior. Closer examination, though, of both his choices and his actions demonstrate that LeMessurier was playing a kind of engineering "god," and that his choices threatened the life and safety of tens of thousands of people.

Excessive Driving Speeds Cause Deaths
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The issue to be dealt with in this paper is one addressing the fact that excessive driving speeds cause a substantially higher number of deaths than those caused at slower, more prudent speeds. Promoting road safety is the function of speed limit restrictions both on the highway and on surface streets, however, these specifications are routinely ignored by motorists who are either perpetually late, intoxicated or are merely the type of drivers who pay no regard to the law. Despite the reason, statistics clearly show that excessive driving speeds are instrumental in effecting road fatalities. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Extravehicular Space Suit
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the components of this highly advanced piece of space equipment. The astronaut’s proximal point of survival during extravehicular activities in space, the extravehicular space suit (ESS) has steadily evolved over the years to the form in which it exists today. The ESS is the complete unit, but it is comprised of several critical, nonnegotiable components. There is no degree of hierarchy outside of the primary life support system; all components are of equal importance to the astronaut when performing extravehicular activities. Life support, communications and protection for the astronauts can be considered to have been perfected. The future direction of ESS evolution likely will be that of reducing bulk and increasing mobility. Includes an appendix of Internet sources of diagrams and photographs. The MLA-style bibliography lists 11 sources and 23 footnotes.
