My goal for this last additional activity was to learn more about an important aspect of senior year: Senior Design. In each engineering department, seniors must complete a design project in which they communicate with a customer in order to solve and engineering problem. I held an informational interview with a mechanical engineering major, Cat Yip. Senior design in the Biomedical Engineering Department is similar to that of the Mechanical Engineering Department. Both require a design seminar, or class in which one learns the appropriate steps of design from initial contact with the customer to prototypic and official approval. While speaking to Cat, she emphasized that senior design is a culmination of everything that an engineering major has learned throughout their four years and provides a real life …show more content…
However, I spoke to a Peer Advisor in the Biomedical Engineering Department and she said that it is different in our department. Rather than the professor assigning projects to specific groups, each individual applies for a project, and if they are accepted they form a group with the other students who are accepted. Cat’s project was to create a model of a periscope to be place in New Rochelle, NY with the purpose of being able to see the water front from downtown. I found it very interesting that Cat was drawn to the artistic part of the project. As an engineering major, it can be hard to remember that art is an integral part of design, because the course work is so math and physics heavy. Although it may be different in the Biomedical Engineering Department, I will keep in mind my various interests, like art, sports, and dance, when applying for my project as a senior. In biomedical engineering, the projects will be less focused on art and building, and more focused on medical

The object of this course and this project is to provide you with a realistic situation that you are likely to face in the real world business environment. You'll be working with limited information, limited support from your client, within a limited time frame - and yet, you have to get up to speed in a new area quickly, and make informed professional recommendations based on your research and analysis.
After taking two years of calculus and traveling to Tanzania with globalbike to deliver bikes to women in rural villages, I have realized how much I love math and how much I would love to utilize my math and science skills to aid third world countries. I have recently been struggling to find a job/major that incorporates aspects of both engineering and medicine on a global level. Until I discovered the Perry Initiative I did not think this was possible. A Job in orthopedics appears to fit my interests perfectly. I would like to attend the Perry Outreach Program to learn more about orthopedics and the influence it has on society; the hands on activities this program provides would be exceptionally beneficial in presenting me with an overview of orthopedics and bio-mechanical engineering. I believe that there is no better way to learn about my interests than participating in hands-on experiments, which is exactly what the Perry Outreach Program provides. Even though this program is only one day, it would provide me with the same opportunity I was given this summer—further assisting me in finding the career path that best fits my many
The Senior Project is an important part of a student’s final year of high school. It integrates skills, concepts and data from the student’s program of study into one culminating project. Students work on individual projects. A Senior Project consists of a major product/artifact, portfolio, oral presentation and a written reflection paper.
A Senior Project should be a graduation requirement in Sandwich. That was the unanimous vote of school committee members when presented with the program of studies by Dr. Ellin Booras in December of 2015. It was an excellent one.
I’m writing this memo because I believe the best way to donate one billion dollars is to fund the construction of a science and technology museum in the Detroit inner city. This museum will not only provide a safe learning environment but also foster a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in disadvantaged students. This museum will feature a program that will fund student research and products. This museum will create a safe place for students to study and learn about STEM, that is why I am placing it near Northwestern High School in Detroit. I will evaluate success using test scores from Northwestern because students in this district have very little access to academic resources. I will be donating this money for 3 main reasons:
When I think of a senior project, I think of an educational opportunity that help students obtain adult-like skills, interests, and hopefully, maturity. Also, it’s a form of expression for most students, because it’s their chance where they can show and demonstrate what they’ve accomplished throughout their experience with their topic. As I mentioned before, it helps students obtain interests but also helps them acknowledge others and expand their minds to new possibilities or opportunities. I also think that senior projects are beneficial for a student's future because if they worked hard enough on their topic, and chose to pursue it as a career, they could have their senior project as a listed experience to set them aside from other applicants. Even
I am a senior at my school and will soon leave for college. My parents have decided to expand their housing ownership to the college district that I will be going to and I will be the one responsible for their new property. As you can imagine I know next to nothing about owning and maintaining a house and, after looking some things up, I realized that I also know very little about how to go about things in the real world. I started this project for myself so I wouldn’t mess up something important for them, but quickly realized that it would make a great senior project. I already know the basics of how to take care of both myself and a house but I realize that I will need more detailed information when I graduate. The main area for my project is English as I will be producing a finished manuscript on the subject of living alone for the first time.
Throughout High School past students, teacher, and fellow scholars have told me to “Start thinking of a Senior Project Idea”, for me, at least I feel I’ve heard this remark since I was a Freshman. So I did, I thought and I thought, but it always seemed like I just kind of saw someone else's project and said to myself “ok, I’ll do that”, but I had come to recognize that I don’t want my project to be like somebody else, I want my project to be unique. When I started brainstorming my project I wanted to something with sports Baseball or Basketball, whichever one I could really think of a powerful meaningful idea. To be honest when I first started to brainstorm ideas I guess that I felt more that the idea was going to flow to me, but then I realized that I had to reach out and seek opportunities
Social media rules our world today and provides instant resources that keep us informed and connected. Advancement in technology has provided multiple resources and valuable information that is literally available at one’s fingertips. The availability of information is endless and provides for fast, more effective learning within the nursing and medical world. There is mass skepticism and question within the nursing environment regarding the use of technology, whether it is via cell phone use, computer, laptop, or internet usage. There is a serious concern regarding HIPAA laws, patient privacy acts, and the legalities tied to an individual’s rights while under medical care.
The main objective of this project was to experience what a career in civil engineering would resemble. In order to achieve my goal of becoming familiar with the project development process and funding sources, I attended project meetings, visited active construction sites, and became familiar with engineering plans and drawings (both civil and architectural). In addition, I learned about project scheduling, oversight, and maintenance. I
Many students come into an engineering program without a strong commitment to stay in an engineering course and to progress with an engineering degree. For students to achieve the puzzling goal of graduating in engineering requires a strong obligation, and behaviors and attitudes to follow through that obligation. To brace the commitment of the freshman engineering students an innovative project has been developed. The project dares students to develop their process to become a "World-Class Engineering Student". Having freshman engineering students design their individually custom-made learning process as part of a semester long project in the setting of a student achievement focused introduction to engineering course or any freshman engineering course will have an important impact on their academic triumph by improving the students’ confidence and motivation to succeed in engineering. This workshop will show participants how to implement the "Design your Process to become a World-Class Engineering Student" into their own introduction to engineering courses. The first year is the most important time for the Engineering Student .In this duration, student has to entirely set up his/her objectives after the exhaustive research like if someone wants to become a quality control engineer in the world level organization for this he should read about the future and scope of his relevant job position by taking the counsel from alumni, teacher or Senior Quality control engineer having
Political cartoons can be humorous and revealing, but they are also a powerful way to start debates, especially in the rhetorical situation of a presidential election. A cartoon that discusses Trump in a security briefing by Chris Britt, shown in the US News and World Report on August 22, 2016, displays the traits of a political cartoon by creating discussion about the presidential election. This cartoon depicts Trump showing the military generals a list of who he wants to attack, which leads to the generals telling him that he will not have access to the nuclear codes. Britt's cartoon effectively utilizes many of the elements of a cartoon to entertain a broad audience while spurring discussion about whether Trump is fit to be in charge of our nation.
