As a young child, I was always interested in transportation, math, and science; it was through these interests that my desire to pursue a career in engineering surfaced. I am extremely committed to pursuing this major, as I hope to one day be able to work with products that focus on travel. I began my own research to learn about random technological products and understand how I could incorporate their qualities to create a more influential product focused on the development of transportation. It was through these efforts that I discovered my desire to one day advance our efficiency in transportation in order to lessen crowding and pollution in cities. I am also interested in minoring in business in order to gain the knowledge of what is needed …show more content…

I would take advantage of programs such as joining clubs, like the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and the Men’s Club Volleyball team. It would be a great way for me to further pursue my passion in the engineering field while still keeping in touch with people of the same culture and pursuing relationships with other athletes to help broaden the community I am acquainted with. Within the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers I foresee gaining hands on experience in the field I hope to pursue and becoming more acquainted with the topics I am studying. By being a part of these organizations, I would be able to not only further develop my knowledge in this particular field, but also further develop my experience of working within a team. Within the Latino Alumni Association I would like to take advantage of the Mentorship and Professional Networking support that they have to offer such as internships and advice for running my own business. Not only do I seek opportunities to take part in clubs in order to advance my knowledge, but I’m also interested in pursuing internships that will introduce me to the engineering and business worlds. By being a part of the LMU community, I hope to join programs that will benefit me in my pursuit to become a mechanical engineer that successfully runs his own transportation

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is a test designed to detect the strength of a person’s automatic association between mental representations of concepts in memory. During the first step of IAT I saw that I was very focused on the words, but I got confused as the instructions changed each time. The first couple steps of The Implicit Association test moved very slowly and they gave me time to think back on when I should tap the letter “E” or tap the letter “I.” The beginning of this exam was confusing because first we had to memorize faces make sure we decipher between, which picture was a European American or African American. This step was confusing because The Implicit Association Test displayed the pictures in black and white for both the European American photos and the African American photos. I noticed that as I went on to the next step and I had to pick up the pace and move faster.

Many people come across roadblocks through their journey of life. I know I've had my fair share of them. The biggest bump in my academic life was changing it completely upside down. Growing up african American or with any skin that holds the slightest of pigment is not easy, but that's obvious due to our nation's past. Racism and stereotypeing has always been there.

Going to Barret Honors College at ASU would put me in a better position to be a global citizen. For the past four years, I have developed my programming and engineering skills by studying in my high school’s Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (CSEE) program. Though I value the engineering skills I have developed in CSEE, I am most grateful for the opportunity to work as a teacher’s assistant during CSEE’s Summer Robotics Program. CSEE’s Summer Robotics Program is a class designed to introduce and foster an appreciation for engineering in underrepresented middle school students. During class, I would help my teacher teach classes, answer questions, and assist students in their lab work.

With my experience so far, I have learnt that success is not just a product of hard skills like executive and operational excellence, but also on soft, interpersonal skills, and on Change Management. Now I use intuition and experience to steer my work. I expect the well-structured course work at Texas A & M UNIV-Kingsville to help me strengthen my skills by learning formal methodologies in the intellectually stimulating environment of my fellow students and learned professors.

One particular program that I hold a keen interest in is the opportunity to act as a student ambassador for the engineering department. In my reading of the program's webpage, I have found that ambassadors meet expectations similar to that of the tenets of a Nutmeg scholar: leadership and service. Accordingly, the engineering ambassador program offers prospective students opportunities to pursue leadership and service aspects. One of these opportunities allows selected representatives of the engineering department the chance to assist in the recruitment of prospective engineering Huskies. Moreover, by exciting others about the prospect of attending UCONN for engineering, I'd be improving my new school by providing driven, collaborative, and successful students to help enrich our learning environment.

Jadeah Norris John Dewey was an American philosopher and educator, who has contributed immensely to the development of educational thinking in the twentieth century. His concern with interaction, experience, and interest in community were brought together to form a highly suggestive educative form. Within this form there were many ideas posed on what makes an education system great some of which I agree with and others which I do not. When discussing John Dewey's ideas on education I think that there are many great ideas in his theories. I like that John Dewey thought that memorization and regurgitation of facts wasn’t the best way to teach students, he thought that hands on education was the best way to go and students learned better
