    Senior Brag Sheet Career Choice: I plan to double major in mechanical engineering and finance, but still face some uncertainty in this plan. My interests developed mainly from the push of my parents. Ever since I was a child, the overarching career I was pushed towards was engineer or doctor, so I pushed myself to learn topics that would better support these ideas.

Other clubs such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS have also given me experiences that have fostered this interest in engineering with competitions and processes of creating something.…

    My view on ENGR 1000 During my first freshman semester as a student of UCONN, my point of view of what is like to be an engineer haven’t change at all. I took the class ENGR 1000 because it was part of the curriculum to graduate as an engineer, but it was also intended to give clues and ideas of the different areas that are within the engineer field. I learned some useful things with my professor, but also from my peers. Even do the majority of my class wanted to become computer/system engineers, I and everyone in the class of ENGR 1000 shared many similarities when it comes to knowledge and the use of technology as a tool to solve real world problem, and build things that would help the whole humanity today and in the near future.

    Throughout high school, I have been involved in many activities. I started off with the STEM academy in my high school. In the STEM academy, we held special events that teach people, especially kids, about new experiments and science-related careers. I helped out the STEM academy by explaining people about the experiments, the purpose behind the experiments and cleaned or organized lab equipment. I was a part of the STEM academy for approximately three years in high school and I really enjoyed it because I knew I could make a difference in my community.…

    For most people, school is about staying on top of your class, making perfect grades, and then moving on to the next thing, with little thought of the past or future. Now I’m not here to criticize others and their methods, but to me, that all sounds like a big waste of time. Good grades are great and all, but if that’s the extent of school, then I’d rather just learn everything on my own time. I’m in it for the knowledge learned and the experiences gained; the kinds of things that will help you to react in the best way to what life has to throw at you. The best way I can see to gain this kind of practical experience and knowledge is to surround myself with other people with the same idea as me, much like the Engineering Honors program will…

    To the Office of VP External, A few weeks ago, I attended the SESS’s Annual General Meeting and was shocked by the agenda. I didn 't realize how much was happening in the SESS that I didn 't know about. As a first year, I don’t know a lot about the inner workings of the college, but the AGM revealed just how out of the loop I’ve been. I have since read through much of the Constitution of the SESS and some of the Policy Manual as both someone who wishes to become more involved and as simply a citizen of the society.…
