Throughout my high school career, and previous to high school, I have taken various science and art classes. These are subjects that have always caught my attention and I plan to continue attending classes that fall under these categories, during my senior year and throughout college. Science has been a subject that I have always had an interest in and have thoroughly enjoyed. During high school, my focuses have primarily been in health science classes that will help me excel in a medical…
he was promoted to the apprentice of George Riebau, a bookbinder. This gave Faraday access to hundreds of books, including those relating to both scientific and theological topics. The majority of Faraday’s knowledge of electricity originated from The Encyclopedia Britannica, while his knowledge of chemistry came from a six hundred book called Conversations on Chemistry. These books made him increasingly inquisitive, and he started to use his meager salary to purchase apparatus for scientific…
significantly devote their lives to humanity and the environment through architecture. When an architect receives this award, they also receive $100,000 and a bronze medal.

Biomechanics is the study of how living things move and describes the forces which cause this movement. Studying in biomechanics can be helpful to develop new skills, detect errors, improve safety, prevent injury and develop new equipment designs. Using biomechanics during elite performance is powerful help to bring the skill up to high level. To analyze my performance I take 3 steps, firstly state the objective of the skill, the main purpose of a golf is to make impact on the golf ball and…
What is the Bionic Eye and how are Australians involved? A bionic eye mimics the function of the retina to restore sight for those with severe vision loss. It’s proudly pioneered by Australia, giving Aussies a great name to Science. Researches from the Bionic Ear Institute, University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales are in the development of a better bionic eye, which incorporates easier lifestyle. The inventor of the bionic eye Mark Humayun invented the first prototype of the…
Racing Team and I am interested in joining one. Joining a smaller design team would give me larger responsibilities and I would learn more here at the university of waterloo. I would be responsible for designing certain components and actually apply engineering. My third goal is for my personal well-being and it is to enforce physical activity in my weekly routine. Like I mentioned, in high school I was very active and had the time to participate in teams and clubs, but I have been very busy in…
Technology is the utilization and application of knowledge to solve problems or to accomplish tasks by way of goods or services (Technology, 1998).

Furthermore, I am in advanced classes and am used to doing difficult work and lengthy projects. I have overcome many challenges that most kids will never deal with like dyslexia and…
Hi Jun, Thank you for your patience as we’ve reviewed the latest FreeFlyer files you sent us. The particular engineer who was reviewing your questions is out of the office sick today, so it will be another day or two before our full analysis can be sent back to you. However, he conveyed the preliminary results to us yesterday which I will share with you now:The primary engineer who’s reviewing your questions is out of the office sick today, so it will be another day or two before our full…
In fact, the reason why I decided that I wanted to pursue engineering was because of a simulation game I liked to play whenever I had free time. In the game, I was able to design and build the most opulent and expensive houses that I could think of. Playing this game, I realized that I was passionate about having the ability to create beautiful and functional things from simple materials, and this is what inspired my interest in engineering. When I started high school my freshmen…
