Engineering students need a computer that is portable, has good CPU speed, lots of memory, great graphics, and is affordable, which means that the laptops useful for most students simply won’t be the best computer for engineering students. Ironically, the laptops that make the best computers for students in engineering are gaming computers.
The reason why gaming laptops tend to be the best computers for engineering students is because the features that make these laptops good for gaming are also the same features that engineering students need, including:
While good gaming computers aren’t cheap, unless someone is a real hardcore gamer, gaming computers can be acquired for between $1,000 and $2,000, which is cheaper and much more portable than a workstation for engineering students. In addition, while great for completing engineering tasks, gaming computers will also allow engineering students to play games, as well as do all the things that regular laptops do.
This allows engineering students to save and share their work, as well as use the Continue reading
Technology is here to stay, and it is only natural that technology has started to play a role in networking. Social media, cell phones, texting, and even sites such as YouTube all can help you use technology in networking with a purpose.
Here are some ways you can engage in networking with a purpose using technology.
One of the most difficult things to do is to try and maintain the relationships with the contacts you have made through networking efforts. Texting and social media make it easier to maintain those relationships and to check in with those in your network semi-regularly. Even if the contact is just a brief message asking about their family or about their interests, your contacts will notice your sincere interest in them.
When networking with a purpose, the first thing you should do is to find out what your contact needs and try and fill that need without asking anything in return. It doesn’t have to be all about business, you might be able to recommend a dentist to a client Continue reading

People suffering from severe neck pain who want to reduce their reliance on pain medications often turn to TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) treatments to relieve the pain, reducing their dependence on prescription medications to get the pain relief they so badly need. TENS uses electrodes for neck pain or back pain, and while some people swear by such treatments, others find themselves wondering whether or not TENS really work to relieve pain. Keep reading to learn more about these electrodes for neck pain.
A TENS treatment consists of electrodes for neck pain and other bodily pains through electrical stimulation therapy. Found in physical therapy and pain clinics, TENS uses electrodes placed on the skin around a painful or injured area with a small electrical charge running through the device to temporarily reduce pain.
The use of electrodes for pain is believed to reduce pain by using electrical impulses to flood the nervous system and reduce the nerves’ ability to transmit pain signals to the brain, while at the same time producing the body’s natural pain relievers called endorphins. While some studies suggest that this type of therapy does work, other studies are not Continue reading

To advance in most careers these days you need to be creative and able to think outside of the box, but this is easier said than done. As children, we freely use our imagination and our creativity, but as we mature we are often asked to leave our imagination behind in order to perform in the “real world.” So how do you get back that personal creativity as an adult? Here are some innovation exercises that will help you increase your personal creativity.
Over time, it becomes ingrained in us to look at things from one given perspective; however, learning to look at things from a different perspective may help us to see things in a different light and spur creativity. For example, if you normally view that tree in your backyard from a distance, why not sit under its branches and look up. Close your eyes, inhale deeply, and touch its leaves and branches, “seeing” it not through your eyes but through your sense of touch or smell. This will help you to see the tree more creatively than by simply Continue reading
