PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN – TASK 2 ICE ATTRIBUTES ACHIEVEMENT ABDULLA MOHAMMED BAHZAD | CIVIL ENGINEERING | November 2016 Attributes of MICE/IEng MICE to be demonstrated at Member Professional Review: During my childhood days, I have always enjoyed making things with Lego blocks, as I grew up I started to build slightly bigger versions of these. I really like the idea of problem solving and this is when I realised that construction is something which I would be keen to pursue it as my career. Therefore decided to take up Civil Engineering degree from Liverpool John Moores University. After successful completion of my degree I would apply my academic knowledge to the real world problems and then try to bring a difference in the society. Since, I am still pursuing my degree from the university, all the evidence for the below ICE attributes will be entirely based on my academic and personal experience to date. 4 – Independent Judgement and Responsibility A Ability to identify the limits of personal knowledge and skills. − After completing my A – Levels, I wanted to pursue my degree from a reputable university from abroad, therefore I decided to come to UK. I knew that my English would not be of the standard required by the university but I did not limit myself to not apply in UK universities. I decided that it would be better for me to pursue an English course in UK and therefore I successfully completed my English course and also completed the IELTS from St Giles Brighton
Achieving “The American Dream” is a great desire for all but rarely does it ever come true (website). Discrimination is a major theme in Of Mice and Men. Most of the characters are discriminated against for various reasons. Another major theme is male friendship. Friendships are symbiotic relationships, where people share their talents and qualities to help each other through life (website). An important additional theme is loneliness and companionship. Most of the characters are lonely for the reason of they are working on a ranch with no companionship. Steinbeck illustrates how the characters respond to discrimination, male friendship, as well as loneliness and companionship.

The last half of the book continued to follow Cece working on making friends and dealing with how she feels about her hearing. She also moves and makes a new friend, Martha. She also makes friends with her neighborhood children. Martha is a grade below her and they get along great. Cece assumes that Martha doesn’t know that she is deaf, because it is summer and they aren’t in the same class together in school and hasn’t seen her wearing the Phonic Ear. However, she does know and simply doesn’t care. The neighborhood kids are also kind to her and there is a neighbor boy Mike Miller that she has a crush on. All is well until Martha hurts Cece’s eye and panics. Her eye heals but Martha is still too afraid to be around
From a young age, I have been fascinated by making things and learning how they work. My educational experience and community service projects have given me an appreciation for engineering from project managing and constructing my Eagle Scout project to enjoying my chemistry and physic classes. I plan on obtaining a degree in Engineering because I enjoy taking something from conception to production and I am interested in the science and math behind
What truly is the “American Dream”? Furthermore, during the Great Depression, even the concept of the “American Dream” was not readily available and was no more than a fallacy at the time. For the 2 protagonists in Of Mice And Men, their dream, like many others, was to “live off the fatta the land” and become independent. However, this was not such an easy task at the time, not just because of the rough economic times, but because people of that era still had World War 2 still very fresh in their minds, with the harbored hatred and untrust that came along with it. Nevertheless, for the millions who died in the course of the war, this “American Dream” was not only something worth living for it was something dying for too. However, in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the author emphasizes that the dreams and hopes were delusions and has a grim outlook on living life in search of a dream.
“Listen to me, you crazy bastard,” “Don 't you even take a look at the bitch.In the book “Mice and Men” People in the story uses mean phases and words to use against people that is not the same as them or that does not look like them.In the quote it shines light on how people treat each other during the book and on how they act when they are near each other.In John Steinbeck 's Novel Of Mice and Men, the author illustrate that people discriminate against one another because they want to feel better of themselves and to gain self pride.
Of the four available choices for a senior project, I chose self-development. I wanted to challenge myself and see how well I could plan and complete a time-consuming project. In order to achieve this goal, I delved into 3dmodeling and design. After getting comfortable with 3dmodeling I decided to create a chess board. I enjoy playing chess equally as much as I love working with computers. This project was a married combination of my two favorite things. I was inspired to pursue 3dmodelling from many of the past (and recent) engineering classes I had taken. In the past, I took Basic Drafting and Intro to Engineering where a large majority of our assignments involves manufacturing an object using a 3dmodelling software

In John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men characters in the novel are segregated by sex, race, age, physical and mental disabilities. John Steinbeck portrays the intolerance and bigotry of 1930’s America through the separation of his characters based on their handicaps. Lennie, Candy, Candy’s dog, Curley’s wife and Crooks all face social pressure from the other characters on the ranch based on their intelligence, physical disability, age, sex and color. Stereotyping based on ethnic or physical characteristics is typical to the 1930’s depression where civil rights for minority groups had not yet been addressed. Almost all of the characters who, in

“The Mouse” is a short story written by H.H Munro. The main characters are Theodoric, the mouse, and the blind lady. The author Munro writes the story in third person and uses an omniscient view. The setting of the story takes part in the vicarage, the stable, and the ends in train compartment. The tone used by the author to engage his readers is an exciting, thrilling fast paced tone that bring the characters to life. To strengthen the thrilling exciting tone, the author uses phrases such as: “he was not even alone in his own clothes. “A warm, creeping movement over his flesh betrayed the unwelcome and highly resented presence, unseen but poignant, of a strayed mouse.” After reading the quote above, I as the reader was drawn into the
We aim to verify that different MECP2 mutations result in consistent and predictable aberrant behaviors, linking specific MECP2 mutations with certain symptoms. To this end, we propose to determine behavioral profiles characteristic for RTT mouse models. A variety of behavioral analyses, which assess motor deficits, sensory deficits, anxiety-like behaviors, cognitive abilities, etc., have been used to analyze the behavioral deficits of RTT mouse models. However, they also have limitations. For example, many of these methods require measurements with investigators present, which influence mouse behaviors. They are also designed to measure induced artificial behaviors, and not natural, routine behaviors. Many of these measurements require training
In the poems Robert Burns’ “To a Mouse” and “The Mouse’s Petition” by Anna Letitia Barbauld, many feelings and emotions about mice are brought forth. While both poems were written by different authors, many of the feelings they share towards mice are common. The analysis of the two poems will help to find the comparisons and differences in theme, political and social issues, diction, and tone. Examples from the poems will help to show the similarities and differences in the two.
A famous person once said “Judging a person doesn’t define who they are. It defines who YOU are.” Don’t judge someone by how they look comes out in both of the stories “The Lion and the Mouse” by Rob John and “Wonder” by R.J Palacio. Both of the stories have characters that are different from others. Both of the characters get judged, but are very helpful in the end.
I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.
