Dean Kamen

today we have Dean Kamen. A living embodiment of courage, he is an inventor, entrepreneur, and advocate for science and technology (Dean 1) With over 440 U.S. and foreign patents (Dean 1), he is one of today’s greatest minds. He founded three companies to market his inventions and ideals: AutoSyringe, DEKA, and FIRST (Dean 1). Both AutoSyringe and DEKA are working to revolutionize medical advancements while FIRST is Kamen’s way to get the next generation involved in science and technology (Dean 1). Being involved in FIRST has given me an idea of this mans impact on modern society. Kamen said that FIRST came into being because this country’s children do not receive the education that they need (Bill 1). In his blog on The Huffington Post after his interview with Kamen, Bill Robinson said, “How intriguing, I thought to myself that this man sees it as his “job” to fix the education system … by himself if necessary” (Bill 1). Kamen wants to better the world (Bill 1), and his plan for the future, to educate the world, is what makes him courageous. His passion to make the world a better place did not start with his founding of FIRST, though. While he was still in college he invented a wearable infusion pump, and continued to improve the medical world from then on (Dean 1). Perhaps one of his most notable inventions, the Segway, had bigger intentions than being a mere toy. In his Ted Talk, Kamen states that it is the last mile that is the problem with the modern car (Kamen 2). What…

The only reason water is a problem, is because the world doesn't see it as a problem- Dean Kamen. Dean Kamen had stated many critical facts about water in the video that really opened our eyes to everything water-related going on around us. Many people who live in first world countries don’t realize the importance of water. Some people in first world countries don’t find the fact concerning that even though 71% of the world is water, some people still don't have any clean water to drink. This…

The faculty salaries in china are categorized into two; the base salary which is the amount fixed for each step and a variable amount determined by annual performance review. The base salary is paid by the government regardless of institution or discipline with some regional cost of living adjustments. The performance bonus is paid by the institutions, and is determined by system of work point quantifying faculty activities of the year (González, Liu, & Shu, 2012). The size of the bonus is…

Interesting and to be honest the first order of business after viewing the video was to establish a connection between this TAMUC Dr. Dawg and their institution. In general terms to review their academic credentials, as such evidence points to the fact that the individual in the video is Dr. Rusty Waller, Educational Leadership from Texas A&M University- Commerce. Specifically, from their Center for Faculty Excellence and Innovation (Moseley, 2017). Dr. Dawg or Dr. Waller presented within the…

Each professor has a different experience but they all show the importance on creating and keeping a global community. Also, all of these professors have more than 10 years of experience in teaching. Therefore, the result of this small study may not be relevant for adjunct professors, community professors, or professors who are just starting this career. Also, in this sample, all of them experienced traveling abroad, thus this results may not apply for professors who did not traveled abroad.…

For the biographical interview extra credit assignment I interviewed my friend Steven. Steven is a twenty-year-old junior studying communicative disorders at Cal State University, Fullerton. He was born and raised in Placentia and has lived there all of his life. A proud resident of Placentia, Steven would like to stay at Placentia the rest of his life because of the nice weather, the peaceful environment and because all of his family and extended family live in close proximity to him. Steven…

Center, but also in the humanities department in the College of Arts and Sciences. His first meaningful interaction was with a faculty member in the Africana Center. He built a relationship with a Black female faculty member who taught a Black theater class. There were a few other Black faculty members that Langton had in the English department and in the social sciences. One of his professors ran an outreach program in downtown Ithaca, Southside Community Center. His most memorable professor…

Growing up can be a difficult task to accomplish. However, growing up with a sibling is even more challenging. This ideology is seen throughout John Steinbeck’s novel, East of Eden ,which has many different scenarios in which two siblings are pinned against each other to repeatedly compete for the love and affection of their parents, and to make a claim about who they are. John Steinbeck’s East of Eden constantly demonstrates the effects that sibling rivalry has on the characters in the story…
