1. Presume you were born into a developing country. Your community’s health and prosperity are threatened by climate changes caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions generated primarily by developed countries. This situation is so extreme that people in your community do not name their children until they live past 5 years old, since many die before that age. If you had a chance to talk to an engineer in a developed country, what would you say?

Information about the level of CO present in the air is usually expressed in ppm, parts per million. This unit indicates how many parts of CO are in a million parts of air, for example, how many molecules of CO are in a million molecules of the gases that make up the air, or how many cm³ of CO are in a million cm³ of air . The maximum limit recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 9 ppm.The information corresponding to several days of a week in Buenos Aires was: Tuesday (8-16 hs) 8 ppm; Thursday (8am-4pm) 8.5ppm, (4pm-midnight) 3ppm; Friday (8am-4pm) 10.5ppm. Signpost: a) If the air in the city that week was highly polluted or not.b) On what days and times was there a higher degree of contamination.c) An oxidation that we try to avoid: metallic corrosion
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted upon youth employment. Present your thoughts about how civil engineering projects might be able to provide training and employment opportunities for potentially dis-enfranchised young people.
PART 1: Reading: Read the text below. Then answer the questions that follow. (1) Around 45% of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy people use every day - at home and when they travel. In order to generate that energy, fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) are burnt, and these produce greenhouse gases - in particular carbon dioxide (CO2). Car emissions are a major problem, but the truth is that more CO2 comes from the energy used at home. The average household creates around five and a half tonnes of CO2 a year, and it is that same CO2 which is changing the climate and damaging the environment. (2) CO2 and various other gases wrap the earth in an invisible blanket helping to prevent heat from escaping. Without this greenhouse effect, the average temperature on Earth would be around -18°C, compared with the current average of around +15°C. The composition of this blanket of gases has remained relatively constant for many thousands of years. However, since the industrial…
