1. Beyond rankings, location, and athletics, why are you interested in attending Georgia Tech? (max 150 words) I want to major in engineering because I enjoy designing things. Georgia Tech could give me many opportunities to study in the field of engineering including internship and research opportunities that other colleges do not offer. Furthermore, Georgia Tech has a plethora of clubs and groups to allow me to interact with those who have interests similar to mine. I enjoy playing chess (I

use regularly. Naturally in my position I decided to go into the mechanical sciences of Airsoft. So with a subject and an idea I set out to build my own airsoft pneumatic Electric rifle. I have been playing Airsoft for a number of years now and I was recently was recruited into a local Military simulation group. The leader, John Lema has also been playing and leading teams for many years with a lot of experience with the mechanical nature of the airsoft rifles use. With him I have spent many hours

Well-rounded are the first words that come to mind when I think of Purdue students, especially engineers. I had the pleasure of meeting many influential Purdue engineers who have firsthand experience in the Honors College through my father’s work. These people exemplified the impact that is possible. This and their help has influenced my path in life. Broad perspective is critical. Without it, opportunities and possibilities are greatly limited. The Honors College is not simply a place to gain perspective

For the first Electronics Project, my team worked together to build a circuit and used a Multimeter to measure multiple elements of the circuit. There were three tasks, one assigned to each member of the group. There was a task assigned to each group member: Circuit builder, measurer, and the data collector/calculator. Because of this group collaboration, we were able to work quickly and efficiently to get the project done on time. This project was definitely a learning experience for all of us because

“planes, trains, and automobiles” have always sparked my imagination, and from an early age, I have always wanted to work with them. Despite my lengthy medical history and learning disabilities, I have striven for the day when I get to do hands on mechanical work as a career. With the help of this scholarship, I will be one step closer to making that vision a reality, and one step closer to developing a vehicle of my own design inspired by these magnificent machines. Most everybody loves trains, but

This is my assignment one for the course CHE 432 at Arizona State University. The instructor for this class Dr. Burrows. Assignment one is due on Wednesday, August 30, 2017. There is no progress for date as this is the first assignment for the course. The assignments in this course will help me learn about chemical processes. This course is unique from the previous chemical engineering classes that I have taken previously, as it at takes into account economics. This meets the instructor’s goals

Life is timed and things happen for a purpose. One day when I look back at the time that I began gaining ownership of my life, I will remember of Houston Community College (HCCs); despite the downfalls I experienced regarding my academic achievements. In this journey, every person that I had the opportunity to spend some time with, thought me a something. However, there is one that although we spent just one semester, it felt like a life. And I call her the professor who changed my life. She was

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a disease process that requires specific, intensive care to increase the odds of patient survival. Due to the rapid and significant decline in a patient’s ability to maintain their respiratory status, ventilation techniques in treating acute respiratory distress syndrome are specific and unique. Multiple techniques have been studied extensively and a few stand above the rest in changing the mortality rate. High frequency percussive ventilation and high frequency

The first phase occurs within 24 hours. It is caused by thermal damage and inflammation to the upper airway. Intubation should be considered early because of swelling and possible loss of airway. When mechanical ventilation is initiated it is important that burn victims have a higher than normal minute ventilation because they require a higher metabolic rate. The tidal volume should be at 6-8 kilograms per ideal body weight and respiratory rate should be

many visits to Marine Recruiting Offices, I figured my life was set before me and everything was smooth sailing from there. I knew exactly what MO I wanted, how many years I would be in, and what I would do after the Corps. I decided I would get a Mechanical Engineering degree as soon as I had had enough of the adrenaline rush that came with the Marines. All of a sudden, everything changed. I recieved a call from a college wrestling coach, saying he wanted to discuss scholarships. Then I began to get
