The massive sculpture by Oldenburg and van Bruggen portrays a massive shuttlecock. The shear size of this can be overwhelming to many people. This sculpture can have a wide variety of emotions of the viewer. When viewing this massive sculpture, it is amazing the amount of detail put into this piece of art. During my initial walk around I felt humbled in a way. It was amazing to see such a magnificent piece of metal work. I felt humbled because, with myself being a metal sculpture I know how…

What is a Millwright? A millwright utilizes a diverse skill set to work with complicated, large machines. They have an advanced understanding of many different types of machinery. The best way to describe them is as an industrial machinist. What’s a millwright job like? Services are usually performed contractually and involve only days or weeks at a single location. The profession requires a broad background and experience with industrial machines in many different settings. Therefore, the…

Marie Curie did all sorts of things from helping in World War I to making prodigious discoveries, she had many different accomplishments, many of which helped technology advance just a little bit further. Marie Curie was a very inspirational woman to many, and still is today. She is still recognized for many of her discoveries and deeds she volunteered, all for science. Marie Curie gave her all to science with knowledge, inspiration, hard work, and patience. Marie Curie’s early life was very…

I would definitely call myself a tech and science nerd. I am in robotics and I am currently taking two sciences; so I definitely qualify for my geek card. Something that has always intrigued me is the future of technology and science, and one of the most interesting possibilities of technology would being able to augment myself and /or others. Robotics is something that’s always been intriguing to me, and of course anyone in robotics have always thought about the implications of augmenting the…

Do you like to create things? I do. I think humans have a natural desire to create. Everyone has an outlet to bring the ideas in their head into the world. The only thing that stands in our way is finding the right outlet. My outlet for creation is computer programming. When I discovered what was possible through programming, I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. As a kid I would take apart my toys to learn how they work. Once I understood the inner workings, I would take…

it, but abruptly it happened. An epiphany! For no foreseeable reason, I wanted to be a mechanical engineer. What an engineer did was beyond me, especially a mechanical one, but I trusted my gut instinct and when an opportunity arose to visit an engineering program here at CTE, I did not hesitate. When I came and visited for Step Up day, there wasn’t a thought of hesitation to come here or not; I knew it was for…

Lawrence Technological University centers on changing the world. Its founding was revolutionary and it still continues to influence history. I, too, desire to change the world. Being a twin, I seek personal individuality and venture to stand apart from the crowd. This reason supports why I chose such an obscure field, Transportation Design. Only two thousand such designers exist in the world, and being a woman furthers my unique interests. By distinguishing myself, I can push past restrictive…

melanoma in a global environment, meets many challenges. Targeting a diverse audience in the development of an effective health communication campaign focused on awareness and prevention, can be aided from theory and following the integrative model of behavioral prediction (Fishbein and Yjzer, 2003). This theory focuses on “changing beliefs about consequences, normative issues, and efficacy with respect to a particular behavior” (Fishbein and Yjzer, 2003). Changing beliefs and steering a…

to graduate school labs. My father dedicated his life, passion, and determination to his emotional engineering research and students. I grew up watching my father formulate innovative hypotheses and implement them in real-life engineering systems; from these observations, I have grown my own passion and determination to achieve something similar in my future. I pursued my education in engineering in college, and although my grades in my initial years were not excellent, I have matured as a…

John Hopkins University John Hopkins University is located in many places, but one, there are more campuses in other countries as well, but the one I feel I will be successful at, is in Baltimore, Maryland. When I become a biomedical engineer and work with prosthetics, John Hopkins University will give me the tools to be what I want to be, and to be successful. I want to become biomedical engineer because I want to unblock the barrier that stops disabled people from becoming…
