Question: Power to genetically engineer a human? If you had the power to genetically engineer a human what gene would you adsd to the human and where would you get it from? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your genetically modifed human.

Answer: I would never support the genetic alteration of human beings. There is too much evil that could come from this. I can understand the argument supporting genetic alteration for the purpose of removing or avoiding lethal genes, but I would not do this to my child. There is too much racism and hate in this world for this ability to be the hands of humans.

Question: Career change : Electrical power engineer or computer networks ? I'm an electrical power engineering graduate , currently confused between continuing in the computer networks field ( currently working and holding CCNA ) or fall back and work as an electrical power engineer as I have a chance to work in a panel boards manufacturing company as a project manager ( Schneider electric ) Confused about which field is more booming and interesting , also which is paying more on the long run

Answer: Knowing a little about both I know that the technology field is definitely paying more! If you could be a project manager that would be neat if thats something you want to do. But mind you that to be a manager is a little stressful, but it also depends on the people and everything else. Also think of the hours you will have to work between the two, the time off, etc. And which one do you, or would you like to do more? I'd just keep going with your CCNA and work up to CCNP and since you have a job you are gaining experience everyday. But if you really like to do electrical work and this would be the ideal job for you that you would really like to do then go for it. And one benefit about that is the fact that you won't have to keep going to school for it b/c with technology it is changing every year, and month even. So there are benefits and draw back both to each. I am actually heading in the IT area as well, do you think you could e-mail me....my e-mail is humpady_dumpady1@yahoo.com its my unprofessional e-mail that i've had since high school so all of my friends are on it, but its my yahoo e-mail. But I hope that I helped you, and if you do e-mail me, I would have a few questions for you. Best of luck on your decision and Happy Holidays.

Question: Does a CIA Network Engineer have power over a Police Officer ? Could a CIA Network Engineer tell a police officer what to do. For example the CIA N E got pulled over for speeding, could he tell the officer he was on a Federal Investigation and would have to let him go. Could he arrest a police officer?

Answer: CIA is intelligence gathering only, they do not have powers of arrest. Anyone who claimed to be on a federal investigation would cast doubt in my mind immediately. If they are on official business, their boss can call and take care of the ticket.

Question: Wouldn't he have to be an engineer to work with green power? I have this friend, and he insists on wanting to "work on solar power," and this seems to me to be something that someone in engineering would do. But he's in environmental studies and philosophy major. Am I wrong, or...what?

Answer: He does not have to be an engineer, but it would help if he intends to design solar panels etc... With environmental studies he could probably get a job at a firm that hires engineers as well as non engineers to to work on these types of projects. Either way he will need to be good at math and science.

Question: Is there a difference between electric power engineering and electrical engineering? Im in high school and i want to work with electricity, the power grid, and stuff like power plants and transmission. Can I do this with a degree in electrical engineering, and is there a difference between electrical engineering and electric power engineering (there are not as many electric power engineering programs that i can find).

Answer: Doing your electrical engineering degree will get your foot in the door. If that is your goal electric power engineering would probably be a better choice but as you said the programmes are few (depending on your country and location). But really both could potentially get you to the same place. If you are in Canada I have seen Waterloo offers a masters programme in power, so you could do your EE undergrad and then a masters in power ... once again depending on school most undergrad programmes have a variety of courses that you can choose from as far as electives are concerned you could take these to improve your odds of employment post-education. I would also suggest self study if that is your true goal.

Question: my husband is a mechanical engineer working in ntpc power plant he has experience of 17 year? he got an offer of 4000us$+1000$accomadation+transport+medical+food free per month in saudi arab jeddah tell me how much he can save per month and is this a good offer and hou much he could expect in this experience(contract job for 7 year)

Answer: It does not look to me as though the person asking this question is from the US. Things like putting the $ after the number instead of before, VERY broken English and the name "Tazeen". Assuming that to be true, it is impossible to judge whether this would be a good move both economically and socially for the person asking the question. Saudi Arabia may be a step up from her country and $5000 US per month is very good money for most people in the US and is almost unheard of for most people in developing countries. Unfortunately the person asking the question is going to have to break out a calculator for the financial end AND evaluate the possible strain put on the marriage by this move then make her own decision.
