Responsible Software Engineering Personal Statement

Through Level 3, I have been able to gain valuable knowledge about various areas in IT from websites to programming. The area of technology I would prefer to help in is the development of HCI and I would like to learn more about what software that could potentially be developed. In the specification for your course, the module Interaction Design is an exact link with this involving Human Computer Interaction directly. This may include voice communication that is very early in development including Cortana. As I have undertaken this course, I discovered there would be a higher demand

I am a first generation college student with Computer Science major with a Chemistry minor.

I was hoping that I could pursue my master’s degree this fall semester 2017. Can you help me with this Aurora?

I aspire to attend Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah where I intend to graduate with a double major in History and International Relations with the goal of working for a humanitarian aid organization.

In the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see

Working as a Test Engineering Co-op (Filtration) at Cummins Inc. in Stoughton, WI has been challenging and rewarding as an engineering student. Cummins Inc. is a Fortune 500 corporation that designs, produces, and distributes heavy & light duty diesel engines, filtration, emissions solution, and power generation products. The Filtration Business Unit (FBU) at Cummins is a leading manufacturer of air, fuel, hydraulic and lube filtration equipment.

It’s important to do good research so we can accurately learn about a subject. Research must always be of high quality in order to produce knowledge that is valid outside of the research setting. Without good research strategies, even intelligent and attentive people can be fooled.

Graphical user interfaces have been scrutinized for being perplex, reducing productivity, and even causing critical consequences because of misunderstandings of human capabilities. As Donald Schön (1983) emphasizes, design should be a reflective practice: designers should incorporate science into their designs and reflect on their decisions and resulting impact on users (as reported in Fisher 2016 IAT 201 Lecture 2, slide 8). Only then can a designer acquire an augmented understanding of how to design for the mind in mind.

I’ve acquired an Associate Degree in Architecture but eventually my interest has shifted to Graphic Design which suits my artistic side more. When it comes to design, I always try to be open minded and to always think outside of the box. I believe that each and every project is a learning experience, and in my time as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, I’ve refined old skills and acquired new ones (for example, creating typefaces and lettering) that helped me in delivering compelling, personal, and unique designs that meet and exceed my clients’ expectations.

Graduate school is my next step to improve upon what I have learned in undergraduate school and in industry. Currently, I work at Space Systems Loral (SSL) as a lead designer for the payload structure on a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) earth environmental monitoring satellite. For the past six months as a Lead Designer, I have been working to bring a non-heritage complex composite panel assembly from concept to fabrication by managing assistant designers, communicating directly with NASA, participating in design reviews, writing test protocols, and solving difficult structural design problems. My role on this project began as a junior designer helping out part-time, but as the scope of the project grew and manpower was lost, I agreed to take the big leap to head the project. I have been working at Space Systems Loral for the last year and a half. While I like this work, I want to pursue a masters degree so I can tackle more challenging technical solutions that require advanced mathematics and engineering

Defining a series of recommendations on how TUI staff can better manage usability training for TUI course developers and usability testing of their courses is the goal of this analysis. The usability of any application needs to take into account as many varied platforms as possible during planning, development and eventual launch and use (Hertzum, 2010). This is a multidimensional problem that needs to be dealt with at the initial phases of any course development project. The recommendations in this analysis pertain to getting TUI faculty more aligned with the pain points, needs and potential to increase long-term learning by relying on usability as a catalyst of great learning effectiveness.

The practice of world design is permanently being challenged to practice its conceptualization of educational course designs, especially for web-based affordances, to release designers to new processes that more align with the modern use of communication devices and networks. Suggest that the time has come for ID to

User interface design is the design of user interfaces (UI) for machines and software, used on computers, smartphones, and any other electronic device. The goal of a user interface is to maximize a user’s ability to access all necessary components of the intended application or website with less effort exerted by the user; as a developer you want to create something beautiful that somebody with any previous experience of interfaces would be capable of using. Using an interface should be an enjoyable experience, the user shouldn’t be stressed out or annoyed by UI, and its inability to present the necessary information in an aesthetically pleasing and efficient manner. There are no steps to design that are set in stone, but crucial things that should be considered are:

Research can be a very scary topic when it is first introduced to a class, and I was that scary student. Research to me was like learning how to swim for the first time with a life vest on, and my heart beating 100 miles per hour because I’m so afraid. Taking off my life vest and diving into this research course has been very rewarding for me. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. It has open my eyes up to a variety of ways I can start and conduct my research. Research is not so scary anymore. In this paper, I’m going to tell you about the things that I have learned and perfected while taking this course.

I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to write my desired future based Master Program in Software Engineering. I feel that a higher education for Masters enable me to approach to the most recent technologies and to practice myself in a competitive environment and learn more skills in the field of Software Engineering.
