Nuclear engineering

As a child Ross liked math and science which in America often translates to some form of engineering, she later combined these skills with an interest in mechanical energy. Ross' lab specializes in what most people refer to as alternative energy, energy generated in ways that do not deplete natural resources or harm the environment. Ross avoids

Edgar changed my life. A student I tutored in mathematics while serving for City Year, he was a prototypical student from the South Bronx, with an absentee father and unfair personal circumstances. My life, conversely, had the exact opposite trajectory. Yet Edgar and I developed a mutual trust, and we tutored almost every day. Through hard work, Edgar passed the 7th grade. And in doing so, he taught me two enduring things: to pursue positive change and to utilize my privilege. These two views have

Virtues of Biomedical Engineering: Courage for the Sake of the Vulnerable Engineers play an integral role in shaping in day-to-day life from designing the structural components of buildings to coding the computer software that makes the modern lifestyle possible. Engineers have an ability to greatly improve the standard of living that is unparalleled by most careers, and also must actively ensure their work leads to good. Many standards have been put in place to act as guides, but their role is

Ever since sophomore year in high school, I have always wanted to pursue the construction industry. A big reason why I became interested was when I went to Try-A-Trade, which is a program where New Market puts on to try to get people interested into high-paying trade jobs. In 10th grade I talked to a man who was volunteering at Try-A-Trade, He explained to me that there is an apprenticeship program that will teach for free and even better pay you while you getting 4000 hours of training. So then

virtually any profession, engineering included. As has been instilled in my perceptions about my chosen career field since my first day at Texas A&M University, engineering is far beyond the intellect to do calculus and write computer code; engineering is making decisions that will affect countless others and could even hold others’ life at stake. For this reason, Aristotle’s duality of intellectual and moral virtues deserves a more substantial introspective role in the engineering field. Within Nichomachean

Architecture is an incredible business that combines both the art and the construction of buildings. Architecture has been on the Earth since the beginning of civilization. Every building, from the houses to the parks, architects had to design it. I love buildings because of the way they can touch people's lives. Architecture is an expression of life and from looking at the two different locations, I saw how Larimer Square showed this expression better that Writer Square. One thing that caught my

The most appealing career field for me is professional, and to be exact the career I am most interested in is Mechanical Engineering. The reasons why I am interested in Mechanical engineering are that, I love to build things, design things, and piecing everything together to finish the ¨puzzle¨, and see the final product. But the three main reasons why the professional career field is appealing to me are enormous paychecks, many different types of work experiences, and it can help me make other lives

The biggest life-changing event was participating in the FIRST Robotics program. This program has made me realize who I am and what I want to do in my life. When I first entered the program, I was a sophomore and clueless about what I was. Everyone around me knew what he or she wanted to be in life. I did not have the mentality for language arts; I was unable to read the cryptic sentences to find hidden meanings that, to this day, I do not believe exist. I also did not care about German. Although

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. The first time I ventured into the club’s disheveled basement, I did not know what to expect. Upon my entrance, I immediately got thrown onto a team of strangers and told the basics of rocketry. While overwhelmed at first, I slowly got accustomed to using

Growth is necessary for successful students and the desire to learn should be a powerful driving force for those who intend on advancing to professional programs. Challenges are important for self-improvement, development, and overall growth. Through growth and challenge, I was able to change my study habits and become the student that I am today. I allowed science to change who I am as a student and I intend to pursue my dreams of becoming a doctor and continue using science to help others. Science
