I worked as a civil engineering intern with Carter & Sloope after my freshman year. In 2017, my dreams came true and I spent 7 months as a Professional Engineering Intern at the Walt Disney Company working with their Environmental Programs team on projects related to their energy, water, and waste usage. I am now spending my last summer interning with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Marietta, Georgia with their environment, health, and safety team. The experience I have accumulated during my time at The University of Georgia has navigated me through new towns and office cultures. These work skills combined with my leadership growth at UGA, have helped me realized my goal is to pursue a career in technical project management, ideally with a sustainability emphasis. It has been an honor to represent the College of Engineering at all these fantastic companies and I am excited for the rest of my career path to
After completing my bachelors , I worked as an Design engineer in the field of Electrical where I was able to implement knowledge which I had gained from my Bachelors of Engineering. When I realized that my bachelor’s knowledge and skill was not able to address new problems, I decide to pursue my masters in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
In just a few centuries, mankind has made leaps and bounds in advancing technology and engineering capability. From skyscrapers to nuclear reactors, engineers continue to design and build things that previous generations would have thought impossible or could have never imagined. With each success in innovation, the world seems to be jetting towards a technological wonderland. However, not every project goes smoothly, and some even fail disastrously. Engineering disasters have made their mark on history just as prominently as its successes. With each success, engineers strive to reach that much further into the unknown and desire to innovate the next great technology. With each disaster, engineers have been forced to take a step back and analyze
I strongly believe that Carnegie Mellon University is teaching and engaging with people who improve the lives through technologies, and who have taken the responsibility of what happens in the rest of the century. The university’s emphasis on the new-age technology in STEM fields, offering opportunities to work on projects that unite multiple disciplines with an integrative approach, fascinates me.
My exposure in the field of engineering can be traced back to my high school days. Not only did I take science classes such as physics, but I was also a member of two engineering clubs which taught numerous material outside the school’s curriculum. With that
The mission of Harvey Mudd College is to “educate engineers, scientists, and mathematicians well versed in all of these areas and in the humanities and the social sciences so that they may assume leadership in their fields with a clear understanding of the impact of their work on society.” The current vision of the college includes a focus on global engagement as well as innovation, leadership and interdisciplinary scholarship.
Layton begins his essay describing what engineering is; that its work is in the marketplace rather than in a laboratory. He then states the “engineer’s dilemma” is based on bureaucracy, not capitalism. Engineers are called the “original organization man,” and are important to large businesses, but a social revolution amongst them would not end their terms of marginality. Moving on, Layton then goes over engineering and its history in America.
“Don’t just play on your phone, program it.” This quote by President Obama, which hung in my AP Computer Science classroom, embodies what it means to be an engineer and
In this article, Jonathan Lash is informing students to be aware of something that might be an issue for them after they graduate college. The pace of change is accelerating. Amount of new technical informations double every two years, and seventy percent of today’s students will end up in jobs that have not been invented yet. Students will collaborate with others on continents of institutions that do not exist today, so they can solve problems that have not even became a problem yet. The students need more than just narrow job training and efficient information to prepare for the jobs. Jonathan inform readers that students will have to push themselves even harder than they do now, so they can be more creative and the braveness to challenge
Becoming an HCDE student at the University of Washington will enable me to develop the required skill set to achieve my future goals. Also, it will grant me the opportunities to find connections that I would need to turn my dream into a career. As an engineer, I will have plenty of resources and networking opportunities to improve my problem-solving skills, and engineer new methods of achieving my goals. I wish to create more innovations, connect society to technology and improve communication skills between individuals of varying backgrounds.
The mission of the California Institute of Technology is to grow human learning and advantage society through examination coordinated with instruction. We examine the most difficult, central issues in science and innovation in a uniquely collegial, interdisciplinary environment,
I have chosen to pursue a career as an electrical technician, because I live in Southern Indiana where there are many power plants, that offer a good salary and benefits of a Union, for this area it is one of the best jobs. I also have the benefit of having a farther working at the nearby power plant to communicate what a good job this area of study can be. The world we live in is very dependent on electricity, so having a background should always allow me the opportunity of some type of job in any location.
Personal Statement: Twenty years of education have brought me a deep appreciation for the study of the Power systems, Controls systems and Telecommunication. When the time came to specialize, my decision to major in Electrical Power Engineering was motivated by the hope of achieving a strong opportunity of creativity, research, and development. Electrical Engineering, with its myriad sub-domains and multi-faceted nature is a natural amalgamation that allows me to express my creativity and innovative power to bring about works that offer benefits to society. The tools and aims may be different, but designing and developing software/hardware or devising a novel mathematical proof is relatable to the work of artists in their shared spirit of creating. I view my decision to study Electrical Engineering as a natural means of fulfilling my need to create since it equips me with tools for the job: the ability to devise, test and evaluate Power systems and the programming knowledge required to implement them.
The report focuses on two main career choices: Electrical Engineer and Computer Engineer. The report is broken down to main section and the following sub-sections:
The potential to create exceptional, innovative products through the use of electrical engineering and embedded systems have always fascinated me. From the miniaturized circuit boards in smartphones and tablet PCs to the large-scale embedded electronics used in aerospace systems (Bozzano, Cimatti, Katoen, et. al., 2011) electrical engineering has long fascinated me. One of the most significant factors that led to my passion for this subject is the revolution that is occurring in the areas of mobile processors, avionics and aerospace systems, where embedded systems are critical to the navigational integrity of the vehicle. This revolution in embedded systems is also leading to an entirely new era of performance in avionics and deep space exploration, which promises to deliver insights never learned before from previous technologies (Kadayif, Kandemir, 2005). Due to all of these factors I am extremely interested in electrical engineering and pursing it a graduate degree in this academic discipline .
