Engineering Class Analysis

1. - Communication

I began this class having no idea of what to do after I graduated. I was really lost in the sense of looking for a job or even interviews because of not knowing what to do in the whole time from finding a job to hand shaking it. So that transition from college to real life would definitely going to hit me hard, and I realized that almost before finishing my studies, so taking this class was necessary. Honestly, I was not planning to take this class but the destiny shoved me out of another class and finally ended up being in Intro to Career Development, which I couldn’t be more grateful.

While studying hard for engineering classes, I totally forgot about the communication and social skills one needs in order to be distinguished from all of those employees that want to be recruited. Also, in the real world there is too much self-interest, and by taking this class I definitely can now take advantage of certain situations that would benefit me in ways I couldn’t even imagine before. From a handshake, to changing my designed paycheck, this class has been one of the most useful classes I have taken before, not because of its difficulty, but because of its study in something that a lot of people miss, which is the study in-between that guides you after college and before work.

The career center is there, but specific details got to be asked and for me to ask those questions requires experience, which I did not had, so by going to the career center to ask certain questions could’ve helped me, but honestly it wouldn’t covered everything I needed to know since I did not asked the most important questions because I did not knew what were

    However, there are a couple of areas where I feel my perspective was altered due to the material of the course. One such area is team dynamics and communication. With regards to team dynamics, Berkun’s (2008) book completely changed my perspective with regards to the value of informal hallway interaction. Previously I did not view this as necessary or valuable, but after reading his insights I understand the strategic value of these interactions.…

    At the beginning of the semester I was somewhat intimated by the amount of course work that was expected of each student in this class. However, as time went on and I started to complete the assignments, it became clear how useful many of them were, particularly the resume and the career exploration paper. Both of these assignments were beneficial in their own way, despite the time and effort that went in to completing them according to the instructions. The resume and subsequent critiques from multiple sources yielded a professional document that is flawless and ready to be disseminated to potential employers after a minor customization to it based upon the job description and requirements. The career exploration assignment has taught me how…

    In D.A.R.E class, Officer Pete is welcomed to come in our classroom once a week to teach us about staying healthy, and being a better person. My class also learned about stress and how we contain it. I’m glad D.A.R.E taught us about the effects of alcohol, drugs, and smoking. They affect most of the organs of your body, and can lead to serious diseases and death. Knowing this important information, I know that I wouldn’t dare take a step into making bad choices!…

    When I was a sophomore in high school, I had good grades except for one class I had a hard time in Physiology.

    I have discovered the areas that I have been successful in as well as the many areas that I will need to make improvements. For example, prior to this class I had no knowledge of the X and Y theories. Now I realize that I operated with the mindset of a theory X manager and had the same thought process about all employees collectively, which in return made me less effective and resulted in not reaching maximum production. I currently will apply this knowledge to communicate more effectively with my current managers and to better recognize what theory they most resemble and why they interact with me on the level that they do. This class will also assist me greatly in my future goals to own a business in which I possibly will have to manage multiple people in different departments.…

    First, a confession: Prior to taking this class, I was not attentive with understanding the requirements, so I will not pretend otherwise. As a student who didn’t enroll in college until my mid-thirties for reasons besides desire or ability to learn, most classes I’ve taken thus far have been very interesting to me. This one I must say, had me challenged, but not in a way I enjoy. Within my professional development, I have worked in operations and logistics for nearly two decades, but lack the educational background to support further advancements with my career. Understanding that experience in the field can only take me so far.…

    The Importance of Presentation Essentials Before I started this class I honestly did not think I would learn anything from it, but I was wrong. I was able to learn about the importance of presentation skills, I gained more knowledge within myself, and I learned how to present myself to others. Those are three great qualities to learn before becoming a businesswoman. I have learned it is really important to know how to give a good presentation because this skill will benefit me greatly in my future classes. One of the interesting lessons I learned was, “When writing an outline for a presentation there are four main objectives when writing an effective introduction: gain attention, you must reveal a topic, establish credibility, and preview…

    Throughout the course, I learned different aspects of project management, and skills that can be used in the everyday life as long as involve interacting with other people. In this class I learned about how to be a better team member. This semester I was reminded of how important communication is and how people need to keep emphasizing it as one of the most important skills any person could possesses. The personality test was useful, I think it gave all of us a good way to start to see how everyone is different. It made it easier for each of us to better understand one another in how our unique personalities can be a challenge when working with others.…

    When I first began this class I thought that this would be just another introductory class that is required to orient you to the expectations of the particular college. Now, after completing this class, I know that this is not the case. Personal Dimensions of Learning has been a great help, not only to my school work, but also in my daily life. Before taking this class, I thought that learning, and completing daily tasks, were mostly memorizing the order of the way things are supposed to be done and just completing the task. I never liked this strategy, but it always seemed to be the most convenient way to get things done at school, home, and work.…
