  Empowering Third World Countries: Harnessing Engineering Expertise for Globalization   In today's interconnected world, globalization stands as a powerful force for progress and prosperity. However, for many third world countries, accessing and leveraging this global network can be a challenge due to limited resources and infrastructure. This article explores a multidisciplinary approach combining medium robotics, electronics, and software knowledge in engineering to develop a project that harnesses globalization as an advantage for these nations.   Funding the Future: Securing financial support is crucial for any project. Our initiative envisions a multi-tiered funding strategy. Initially, we propose seeking grants and donations from international organizations, private corporations, and governmental bodies with a vested interest in global economic growth and social development, for example, Mauricio Vila nowadays is expanding Mérida to the world, in that regard maybe

EcoTech Empowerment: MicroSolutions for Progress

Image
Hello, to provide you with some context, I am currently pursuing a degree in Embedded Systems Engineering, with a major focus on microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are integrated circuits housed within Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), and they offer a wide range of functionalities that can significantly impact both ordinary and non-ordinary aspects of life. The versatility of microcontrollers and their pervasive presence in today's world make them a valuable asset in addressing the unique challenges faced by third-world countries. Leveraging Microcontrollers for Empowerment:  With my background in embedded systems engineering, I envision utilizing the capabilities of microcontrollers to design and implement solutions that empower people in third-world countries. Here's how I see this taking shape: 1. Affordable Customized Solutions: Microcontrollers are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to serve specific purposes. By developing low-cost embedded systems tailored to local n

Engineering for everyone.

Engineering for everyone By Pedro Ocampo.  It is known that, in our actual society, adequate living conditions are not equally distributed. Some countries count on more economic power due to the great scientific advances provided by a quality educational system. On the other hand, a lot more countries do not have these benefits because they face a more difficult scenario.  But why does this happen? This is a very common subject in debates and assemblies around the world but although these assemblies had found some of the main causes, none of them have solved anything. So in this blog, we are going to abord this subject and we will offer a solution using engineering knowledge. Many of the third-world countries' main problems are related to unemployment; therefore one thing I would like to do is founding a technology enterprise that would apport with important technological advances to low prices accessible to everyone. Also, this foundation would give jobs to unemployed people by pr

A Data Engineering Student's Perspective on 3rd world countries (not very optimistic)

Globalization has severely affected third world countries' ability to keep a constant rate of growth and development. This problem comes mainly from all the time that they need to adapt to a new context, a few decades ago everything was slower, information and news could take days or even weeks to reach a different continent. Now, every event in the world (and sometimes even in outer space) spreads like wildfire in a matter of seconds, and in consequence, everything (including economy) moves faster. Taking this into account, third world countries lack the time needed to stabilize after abrupt changes in economy and world politics, making them dependent of countries that can manage this problem. My proposal would be a large scale prediction algorithm able to predict these changes in world economy to prepare third world countries for them. This, of course would need funding, but more importantly, it would need a lot of information. I think that these countries can afford to fund the

Using Engineering for Globalization in Third-World Countries

Create a low-cost renewable energy system to provide power in remote areas. This system will include small solar grids, efficient battery storage, and community involvement. It's all about affordable, sustainable, and accessible energy. To fund this project, you'll need financial support from government grants, non-profits, and private sector investors. Government grants and non-profit organizations will provide initial funding, while private sector investors can offer long-term support. This project is designed to be easy for local communities to use and maintain. Training programs will teach people how to operate and repair the system. Integrating technology like mobile payments makes it user-friendly and accessible. 

How engineering knowledge could develop a proyect which helps third world countries.

Robots and automatization are ideal ways to keep a city automatized and clear quickly if an issue appears. In Mexico City and many cities in third-world countries, water leakage is common, only in  Mexico City lose  40% of water  in its piping system . A solution for this could be the use of an autonomous robotic arm that can identify leaks and replace them instantly, moving thoroughly by rails next to the sewer pipes of the city. In order to fund this idea, private investors related to the subway piping  area, the CONGUA could be ideal to get started. The average price for this kind of robot is about 100,000 euros which is a beneficial investment in the short term and long one. It is not that easy regarding the installation but the difficulty and benefits are worth completely for the citizens, investors, businessmen, and ecology.

Search and rescue robots.

 Blog update,by Dana and Valeria. As students of computational robotics engineering, most of our projects tend to involve physical models. Multiple models can be extremely useful for various situations, but one of the most valuable ones in recent times has been those dedicated to search and rescue. These robots can operate in any possible mode of transportation, so they can be either drones or underwater models, depending on our goals and what we want to locate .   These robots require globalization because different regions of the world specialize in robots for different environments. For example, in areas with more islands, it's common to have more expertise in aquatic devices, while places with mountainous terrain might have greater knowledge of drones or robots designed for higher altitudes.   These robots are not particularly cheap, although they do tend to have a somewhat more reasonable price compared to other types of robots in different categories . However, they woul

What if Anakin had won in the fight with Obi-Wan? (Star Wars I-III)

 What if Anakin had won? When the prequel trilogy of Star Wars fist came out, there was a lot of questions surrounding Anakin Skywalker and his eventual turn into Darth Vader, so what would have happened if Anakin never got injured in a way so that he had to get new parts? Well, if the battle between Anakin and Obi-wan turned out in a victory for Anakin, we could have seen a Luke trained by the sith, or even when Darth Vader became Lord Vader, we could have seen Luke become a Darth in the sith.

Alternative ending for The Mist

 this movie is about a mysterious mist that was released from a mountain that contained dangerous monsters,  the original ending is that the protagonist and the group of survivos end up in a car with no gasoline in the mist , they hear something come closer, so he grabs his gun with 4 bullets,ending the live of the survivors and his son , but when he goes outside the car the soldiers where just minutes from them, indicating that if they were to wait some time they would have survived. in this alternative ending the revolver gets stuck, and while he tries to fix his weapon the soldiers finally arrive, making the group and his son survive.

Alternative ending to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 (Stone Ocean)

 After awakening the ultimate form of his stand "Made in Heaven", Father Pucci was only a step away from attaining his goal, to reach heaven. The main cast was in awe, partly because of the event they were witnessing, partly because of their failure in stopping it from happening. Suddenly, time started to flow faster and faster, entire days passed in what felt like just seconds. Not even Jotaro's ability to stop time worked because it seemed to work for only an instant. Then, Father Pucci started his onslaught, knowing that they could find a way to stop him even at this point, he decided to finish them once and for all. When all hope seemed lost, a flash of light shined came from the horizon, approaching at top speed. A golden stand that belonged to a familiar face. It was Giorno, and he had the arrow with him. That was their last hope, he had come all the way from Italy to help stop the end of the world. And so, the battle begun, Pucci approached Giorno as fast as he cou

Alternative ending to Titanic

 The story is set against the backdrop of the real-life sinking of the RMS Titanic during its maiden voyage in 1912. The movie primarily follows the lives of two fictional characters, Jack Dawson, a penniless artist, and Rose DeWitt Bukater, a young woman from a wealthy family who is engaged to a wealthy but arrogant man, Cal Hockley.Jack and Rose's paths cross on the Titanic, leading to a passionate and forbidden romance.  As the ship embarks on its journey from England to New York, their love story unfolds amidst the opulence and social divisions of the ship's passengers. However, the ill-fated vessel encounters an iceberg. Now, in the ending I would like, the Titanic would not crash with the iceberg, and everyone will make it to New York in a safe way.

What would have happened if Clu had escaped from The Grid?

Tron has been one of the most emblematic film installments of the cyberpunk genre, since its first arrival to the cinema in 1982, it has been a pioneer in the plots about cyberspace and the barrier between the biological and the digital.  The story of Tron, at least on screen, connects to the events surrounding the 2011 film "Tron Legacgy" when Kevin Flynn's son, Sam Flynn, gains access to The Grid which has become a dystopian world commanded by an order of perfection led by Clu who is Kevin's "Digital Analog Unit" programmed to replace him when he is off The Grid. Clu was programmed as a reflection of Kevin's vision when he was beginning to shape that world, which was based on creating the perfect system at any cost and with zero tolerance for failure and imperfection. However, Kevin evolved when he met the Isos who were bio-digital organisms native to that world, understanding that perfection does not exist and that the true beauty of a system is in it

Alternate ending for WW2 (By Walter Guerrero)

  It was the year 1945, World War 2 was about to finish and without getting into many details about it, we already know how everything started and how terrible were the world since 1939. Let’s give it a thought about its ending, unfortunately we also know how this worldwide event ended, with that terrible atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That’s where this wondering begins, what if that bomb was never created? What if that bomb were never dropped? Let’s analyze those questions. Without the creation of the atomic bomb, World War II might have seen a prolonged period of conventional warfare. The Allies were making steady progress, and an invasion of Japan would likely have occurred, resulting in significant casualties. Soviet involvement in the Pacific could have been more pronounced, potentially influencing the post-war political landscape. The absence of the bomb might have altered the dynamics of the early Cold War. Additionally, the scientific and technological advan

Shutter Island (Pedro Ocampo)

  Teddy Daniels is an agent sailing towards a mysterious island where there is a psychiatric hospital that houses the most dangerous criminals. He is there to investigate the disappearance of a prisoner but will uncover a sinister truth. Teddy confides to Chuck his partner, that he had a wife who died in a fire along with three other people. Upon arriving at the hospital, Dr. Kauli explains that in the past, the hospital used to torture patients to remove their madness, but they have since stopped those practices and are now trying to cure them through therapy. The missing patient is Rachel Solando, and Dr. Kauli mentions that she is dangerous because she drowned her three children in a lake. He also adds that she is a widow as her husband died in the war, which triggers some memories for Teddy about his time in the war and causes him to experience headaches. Dr. Kauli continues to explain that Rachel believes the hospital is her home, and the other patients are her neighbors, and nobo
