5. • In the era of the pharaohs they built huge buildings (the
pyramids) without any machines. As of today, just how
these structures were built still remains a mystery. Do
you have an idea about how people in that era could do
this?
(Medhat Sharawy, Civil Engineer, A130)
6. • Law is essential for any country because it saves our
lives and provides freedom. Also, it protects us from
being harmed by other people in society. In your opinion,
do your country’s laws offer you sufficient protection?
Why/why not?
( Mohammed ALBadi, Law, Class A)
7. • Extracting oil from underground reservoirs is an
important process for our lives. Oil can generate heat and
fuel vehicles. It is also used to manufacture almost all
synthetic products, such as plastics. What are oil
reservoirs and how are they formed ?
(Abdualla Almuraghi , AI130A , Petroleum engineering)
8. • Business cycles are dated according to when the
direction of economic activity changes and is measured
by the time it takes for an economy to go from one peak
to another. In your opinion, what causes economies to
reach a peak?
( Ahmed Al Jashmi/Economics/130B)
9. • Most majors have several specific sub-topics that can be
studied (minors). For example, in math, there is algebra,
real analysis, and topology. When I told one of my
professors that I want to study algebra, he told me that it
is old field, so all of the easy research has already been
done. He wanted to let me know that it is difficult to do
new research in this field. Would you choose a field that
you like even if a professor gave you such a warning?
Why/why not?
(math, Abdullah Alshyaie, 130B)
10. • At construction sites, if a current engineer or employee
gets hurt seriously during the construction process, the
chief engineer is responsible for finding him/her a proper
hospital and finding a substitute for the worker. Do you
think this should be the responsibility of the chief
engineer? Are there any similar circumstances in your
field?
(Ananda, Civil Engineer, AI130B)
