Joining The School Real World Design Challenge Team

A great impact that I witnessed that year is when I took the school field trip to numerous colleges close to the city. I had never been to a university or even a community college. Therefore, me going to those visit gave me a greater idea on what type of college I'd like to attend. One of the colleges I remembered we toured to was Lakeland Community College. I really liked the aspects that it has, with the classrooms even the on campus living. Taking trip like that sets your mind up but also prepares you to know what to expect and look for when you are college searching.

The fundamental purpose of this project is for the team to collaborate to find innovative solutions for unmet needs within our company, Digital Monitoring Product Inc. Group 26 will analyze and evaluate each individual’s contribution based on his or her potential for the greatest success within the company and within each of the concepts individual market. The paper will act as a guide and direct one through the process of Team 26’s voyage through each concept eventually leading up to

Resources used will be primarily the project team members. To reduce risk all members need to be aware of the project schedule so that the right team members are available at the right times. Adequate computer resources, physical space and other support staff need to be ensured so that the project does not fall behind schedule.

It was truly gratifying serving as a positive role model for the students that needed the extra motivational push. Instilling passion within others to pursue a higher education, serving as a prominent role model for my peers, and intertwining my Hispanic and American mindset has been a true blessing.

While in DC I did learn new things about myself and my surroundings. At first I was very nervous, but after I realized that DC was the place of my dreams, I fell in love. I did many things that I never would have expected to do, such as eating sushi, holding a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, seeing the Enola Gay, and visiting the White House. Out of all of those my favorite was laying my eyes upon the White House. I was so excited! While at the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center I learned about the space exploration. Mainly what caused the Challenger Rocket to explode, a piece of the rocket came off during take off damaging the fuel tank. While in the rotunda at the Capitol, I learned that they are going to replace one of the

I made friends for life and became part of a family. At Kenes and Congress, I got to meet so many different people and we all got to learn from one another and we made connections that I hope will last a long time.

When I was a freshman, I shared a homeroom with nineteen other freshmen students and six seniors. Those seniors were known as “Bomber Pilots”, whose purpose was to mentor freshman students and demonstrate how to succeed at St. Xavier High School. The significant impact that my bomber pilots had on me, and the way in which I looked up to them, started my aspirations to do the same for other students. In that same year, I was nominated to be an “Ambassador” whose primary duties are to show interested 8th graders around the school and explain all of the advantages of becoming a St. Xavier student . My Sophomore year I was a tour guide at the St. X open house for families who wished to be better informed about the school’s academic and extracurricular

I was also honoured with the opportunity to teach, lead and be responsible for two of the classes who visited the school. I had to introduce the leadership SHSM, give instructions in regards to the activity and ensure that everyone new what they were doing. This was a phenomenal opportunity for me since I want to

When I was little I loved building things. I built complicated Rube Goldberg machines, Lego cities, and towering snow forts. However, I did not know that I wanted to go into a engineering field until my experience in the Madison West Rocket Club.

On August 27, 2015, I was overwhelmed with excitement. It was the day of orientation. I was going to meet some of my fellow classmates that I would get to know for the next five years. The time leading

This statement of purpose is to express my interest in pursuing an Interdisciplinary Master of Science in Engineering with a concentration in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. From an early age, I was always amazed when an aircraft would fly over while on an approach to land at a nearby airport near my house. Growing up, I religiously attended all of the local airshows. I remember going to the Cleveland Air Show when I was ten years old, seeing an F-18 Hornet and a F-15 Strike Eagle performing their flight demonstrations, and from that point on, I knew I wanted to have a career within the aerospace industry. There was nothing like the sound and thrill of an F-15 going by at Mach 0.90 with its afterburners lit. That to me is the "sound of

As a follow up to our monthly team meeting, please submit one Hackathon idea by Friday, July 15th to Tricia and myself. We will compile all the ideas and send out a survey monkey for the team to rank. The winner will be announced at the BPI Summer Party.

This opportunity afforded me the ability to guide other students through the actual building process, as well as steer their experiences in community service and solidarity. It required me to take responsibility for each student’s experience and mold their trip, ensuring there was meaningful learning and reflection. I explained to my group how some students had become inspired temporarily; however, after a while, both interest and motivation waned. While the work we completed during our break was extremely important, it was the everyday actions once we were home that could make a lifetime of differences. Their commitment would be tested once they were back on campus and I tried to guide how they could stay true to the ideals and thoughts we developed while in Louisiana. My commitment to service may not have started with these service experiences, but they truly helped shape me as a person and provided me the opportunity to shape the experiences of

During an aeronautical engineering club meeting, one of my friends told me that I was very resourceful. After receiving this compliment, I began to realize how many complications I have solved using my ingenuity and creative thought process. I had not known how creative I actually was until my fellow club members began to tell me that I could solve any problem they had with their planes, whether it was electrical, mechanical, or theoretical. This compliment boosted my confidence and allowed me to share my opinions without the worry of being ridiculed.

A team comprised of international components presents an interesting challenge in regards to management. Various problems can potentially arise in regards to organizing the team, developing rules that govern the team and assigning tasks. One method in which to mitigate all of the above mentioned rules is by setting performance standards for the entire team to adhere (Alexander, 2000). One such standard involves the use of a balanced scorecard. A balanced scorecard allows each individual irrespective of their position within the team to have a core set of standards in which to abide by. These standards will also include the job function and the roles of each member with the job function. The scorecard provides an ideal medium in which to judge performance as well. By viewing the scorecard management can easily pinpoint areas of opportunity and improvement (Blair 2010).
