9. BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu ChabotENGR_Cool_Engineering_PreCollege.ppt 9 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Engineering Engineer  Applied Scientist Engineers take BASIC Scientific Discoveries and turn them into things that are USEFUL to people.

10. BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu ChabotENGR_Cool_Engineering_PreCollege.ppt 10 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Engineering Engineer  Applied Scientist  The First Laser  Laser Sheet-Metal Cutting Machine Theodore Harold Maiman was born in 1927 in Los Angeles, son of an electrical engineer. He studied engineering physics at Colorado University, while repairing electrical appliances to pay for college, and then obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford in 1955. Theodore Maiman constructed this first laser in 1960 while working at Hughes Research Laboratories (T.H. Maiman, "Stimulated optical radiation in ruby lasers", Nature, 187, 493, 1960). There is a vertical chromium ion doped ruby rod in the center of a helical xenon flash tube. The ruby rod has mirrored ends. The xenon flash provides optical pumping of the chromium ions in the ruby rod. The output is a pulse of red laser light. Engineering

55. BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu ChabotENGR_Cool_Engineering_PreCollege.ppt 55 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Engineering California Needs Engineers boost by 50%  Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed an educational initiative that aims to boost by almost 50% the number of California-trained engineers during the next decade... 20,000 to 24,000 new engineers too few graduates to meet the demand forcivil, electronics, mechanical, aerospace and other industries  The goal of the Engineer Initiative is to bring 20,000 to 24,000 new engineers into the state's workforce. Even though the number of engineers in the state is expected to grow to 44,000 by 2014, there are too few graduates to meet the demand for civil, electronics, mechanical, aerospace and other industries, according to the state's Labor & Workforce Development Agency.
