There are no engineers in my family to persuade me into becoming one. It was my own interest and curiosity that drove me into analyzing how things work. Over the years I have developed a passion for solving complex problems that involve technical challenges. I have learnt that an engineering problem does not have a standard solution to it and that an engineer has to choose the best from amongst the various options. The process of applying scientific methods to solve real-life problems continued to intrigue me throughout my years of study, initially in the context of my own behavior, and later to observe and investigate its impact on an increasing affinity towards Engineering.

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

Staring at engine components of a car as well as holding a smartphone with almost unbelievable thickness fascinated me in many ways indirectly leaded me into getting to know more through different sources about machines ranging from transportation to communication devices. Two years of A-level preparation, further solidified my interest in this area as I found myself very fond of learning mathematics, physics and mechanics in particular. In addition, my curiosity in the operation and dynamics of objects naturally influences my choice of degree, leading me towards Engineering as it is a discipline which satisfy my own interest and most probably bring out the best of me.

To begin, it was my freshman year in high school when, by chance I was placed in class, Pathways to Engineering. I became intrigued about the course when I was exposed to CAD package software. This course was geared specifically to 3D modeling. I was fascinated with how software creations can be brought to life through a 3D printer. In addition to that I was exposed to team based projects like building a catapult. Other projects include soldering electronics and some exposure to coding programs like Scratch. From these experiences I became interested in engineering, and fortunately enough my strong subjects are in science and mathematics. My goal is to go into the engineering field, revolutionize how we live.

Engineers use critical thinking and creativity to solve problems, which mirrors the process I used to write algorithms for the labs or projects in the class. Attending two hackathons over the summer, I learned first-hand the creativity and collaboration necessary in the field of computer science, and successfully created an app in only 24 hours. The limitless possibilities to use my inventiveness and intellectual abilities to solve these problems is why I want to study computer science and engineering in college. As I will be attending UCLA, I want to apply my theoretical knowledge of computer science and engineering into real-world experience in the form of internships and co-op programs. While I have programmed apps and websites, I want to take my coding abilities to the next level, and begin to create complex system structures such as operating systems, as well as optimizing the hardware components, such as processors, for these systems. However, I intend to explore a multitude of academic topics in college, such as economics and statistics, and use my years to grow as an intellectual and

I am currently holding an internship at Waupaca Foundry and with the time I have spent there I have seen how much technology has evolved. Not just in the manufacturing world but in the world around us as well. Technology is growing and we use it more in our everyday lives. This is why I want to study the electrical technology field because most actions that are held in a factory, school system, or home run off of electricity. Learning a trade in the electrical technology field will also allow me to pick up and move anywhere. Even if the work would be different the basic concepts would still remain the same. If one is willing to continue to educate himself as time progresses they will never lose value as an employee.

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true

I had an interest in the field of computer science from a very young age. It started in grade three when my school started teaching me and my friends about operating computers, while only grade six students were previously trained to do so. Although I was only taught about using paint software at that time, I learnt about the multidimensional usage of computer with time. Outside the school, I was an avid follower of automobiles, and to be specific I got really interested when I learnt about the supremacy of computing in automobiles, which helped to shape myself to major in computer science. In 2008, when Google launched the idea of self-driving car, I was amazed by the idea behind the technology empowering the mechanicals of an automobile.

The first reason I attend college is that I want to be a software engineer. Since, I have come to America, I started to like computers. Mostly, I’m interested in software, what’s inside the computer. I also can make a lot of money by becoming a software

Now, if Reno was the one who was dead, y’all need to be questioning me, but I’m not trying to go to jail for killing a woman who’s going through the same thing I’m going through. We’re both the victims of Reno.”

Germany, as a unified nation, doesn’t exist in 1860. There are 39 independent German states, one of the which is Mecklenburg. Mecklenburg is known for being the most backward of the 39 states. It has the highest percentage of emigrants of any of the German states as their landless peasants have little reason to hope for a better future. After living in such a poor state with limited freedom and few opportunities, many, such as Johann and Anna Friederike, nee Miko, Voss see emigration as a new chance at life. (Friederike goes by the nickname of “Rike.”)

Computer engineering is a very extensive, challenging career. To become a computer engineer you need years of experience and college education. Many people think this career is easy and good paying, but is not that easy, excessive amount of knowledge is needed to become a top class engineer in this field, but that doesn’t mean it is an impossible task. One must understand that computer engineering is a challenge since before one begins studying it. With that kept in mind an undergraduate must know their qualifications, training, job duties and drawbacks, salary, hours, work calendar and employment in order to become a Computer Engineer.

My new found enthusiasm motivated me to read about inspirational individuals, Nelson Mandela being my favorite. Nelson Mandela is really one of a kind, and a true hero to me. He once said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”. That’s a quote that will be with me forever for it opened my eyes to realize I could do anything I wanted to do. I decided to delve in Electrical Engineering as I felt it will give me an endless opportunity to be creative, practical and intellectual. I also realized that all my life I had radiated this negative energy, telling myself I could not get the best out of life because I wasn’t good enough and then I began to be cognizant of the fact that I could get the best out of life if I wanted to.

I chose electrical engineering for several reasons. One, I like to investigate stuff and figure out how it all works, and I have always had an interest in computers which function on electricity. I also love subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Trigonometry. I began considering engineering last year when I took an elective, Intro to Engineering, it was comprised of hands-on projects that I worked on and tried to make work. I loved the hands on approach it was fun and I learned a ton of useful skills and information. As for picking the electrical part, that was as simple. Ever since I was little I have loved computers I used them mostly for video games, but I was always curious as to their inner workings. I have had the enlightening experience of building my own personal computer from scratch. I went out bought the parts and carefully, as to not damage the delicate parts, put it together, installed my operating system, and now enjoy my own computer. This only made me more interested as to how all

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.
