My passion for controlling mechanical systems can be pinpointed to when I exposed to a Legos Mindstrom kit back in middle school. Since then I have had a diverse undergraduate career where I tried to pursue many different field but I’ve found the field of control systems to be the most interesting. The Given my undergraduate and work experience I believe that graduate school will be the next logical step on the path to become an engineering leader in this field. I started college at UC Santa Cruz where I earned a degree in business management economics then I transferred to UC Berkeley to complete a mechanical engineering degree. Since I transferred into Berkeley I had to take a much heavier course load then the average engineering student, I did so while maintaining a 3.5+ GPA. At Berkeley I gained a wealth of theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience through lab and project classes. I took a total of 4 semester long project based classes which taught me how to act in a team where multiple things were happening in parallel. During my time at Berkeley I developed a pass...
Texas A&M. I did some research and asked my fellow students about whether there is a major that combines both Business and Engineering, and I stumbled upon Industrial Distribution. I decided that was the best fit
In The Other Side of the Sky by Farah Ahmedi, Farah suffers from coping with the Taliban in her daily life. Farah describes the Taliban as “a terrible army of big bearded boys” and “wild alien beings, or beasts from another world.” The group took all of Farah’s family away from her, and the Ahmedi family was just another unfortunate victim of the Taliban’s violence, when the group rose to power.
Baraka, Ajamu (25 Oct. 1953 - ), human rights defender and community organizer, was born at Plymouth, Indiana, United States. He is the oldest of the five children of Raymond and Beverly Ball. His father worked odd jobs until he ultimately retired as a Post Office worker and his mother was a domestic and a nurse in senior citizen homes. During Baraka’s early childhood, his family enjoyed a middle class life on the South Side of Chicago until his parents separated in 1963. Baraka and his siblings moved with their mother to Woodlawn, an area known as one of the worst slums on Chicago’s South Side. After his mother became financially unable to care for her children, they were sent to their father at Chatham Park, an area considered one of Chicago’s ultimate middle class neighborhoods. Baraka and his siblings began to feel the blows of class discrimination when his father was barely able to make ends meet. Baraka married twice. He wedded Bahamian Donna Chipman, in 1973. Together they have two children, Linda and Jahmilla. Although he never divorced his first wife, Baraka married Ife Ujema (aka Ann Dubarry), in 1987. They have two sons, Jelani and Lamin. In total, Baraka has fifteen grandchildren.
Currently, I am attending Waynesburg College in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. majoring in computer science and minoring in business. I have always had a
...as gone through those very same experiences. I arrived to college with many common misconceptions about the so called college experience. Similar to William Dereiewicz’s argument, for me college became this one thing everyone must do to earn more money. To be more successful I had to look towards the “STEM fields – science, technology, engineering, and math” (27). I am personally guilty for falling into this common misconception but have since learned that college is more about experiences. College gives you the necessary skills to function in your chosen major. I came to Montevallo as a Biology major but have now began to question that decision. Looking towards the future I am hopeful that I will adapt to my newfound independence and develop my own set of moral beliefs and similar to my parents provide my future children with better opportunities than the one I had.
The short story "Araby" by James Joyce could very well be described as a deep poem written in prose. Read casually, it seems all but incomprehensible, nothing more than a series of depressing impressions and memories thrown together in a jumble and somehow meant to depict a childhood infatuation. Like the sweet milk inside a coconut, the pleasure of this story comes only to the reader who is willing to put forth the intense effort necessary to comprehend it. Or like an onion, peeling off one layer reveals yet another deeper, more pungent level. Practically every insignificant detail becomes vitally important and meaningful as the plot progresses, until it becomes apparent that this story is not about romance at all but rather the "coming of age" that marks everyone's passage into adulthood. This is especially apparent in the point of view, the symbolism of the first paragraph, and the character of the narrator himself.
One addition I could add to the college is my public speaking skill. When I was younger, a local church was having a “Youth Day”, a day where teenagers and children take over and run the entire church service. From ushering, to singing, acting as deacons or even preaching, we did it all. Two kids and I were asked to preach for that service, and naturally I was scared at first, but I decided to get out of my comfort zone and give the church a sermon. I worked on the
The first step, in deciding my degree, was determining which degree I would pursue. As a way to determine my degree, I took the SAT, which informed me of my aptitudes. I learned that I had a very high understanding of mathematics and critical reading. After figuring out my skills, I began researching degrees that were complimented by my talents. The degree that best fit my skills and the high income that I wished to obtain was chemical engineering. Next, I researched the universities with the best engineering departments. Resultantly, I narrowed down the colleges in which I was going to apply to. My top three choices were Texas A&M University, the University of Texas, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Deciding my degree and college educated me in how I had to perform in and out of the classroom to attend these

Kasimir Malevich Kasimir Malevich, a Russian painter and designer, was born near Kiev on February 26, 1878 (Guggeheimcollection.org) and was “one of six children from Russified Poles” (Articons.co.uk). While living in Ukraine, he became absorbed into art during his teens, “largely teaching himself” the basics (Articons.co.uk). After saving his money “from his job as a railroad clerk” (Articons.co.uk), Malevich enrolled in the Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture in 1903 and began to study art more seriously. Later he trained at Kiev School of Art and Moscow Academy of Fine Arts and “produced portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes” in his early stages of his career (Artstudio.com). By 1907 Malevich “took part in the Moscow Artists' Society's twice yearly exhibition along with such artists as David Burliuk, Aleksander Shevchenko and Natalia Goncharova” (Articons.co.uk).
Currently, manufacturing’s hardware and software is comprised of progressive manufacturing project, automation and innovation. **** Argues that the industry today necessitates a greater level of capability and critical intellectual as innovation magnifies sophisticated technologies, professors need to be better educated about their digitally enamored students, and in what way enhanced to influence them with learning procedures to which they can transmit. Preparing for a career in manufacturing is no longer based on following the education standards created 50 years ago. The Australian Government invests $9.7 billion in STEM, research and
A major controversy in the Islamic philosophy in its early centuries regarded the condition of the universe as either created or eternal. Aristotle had claimed that the universe should be considered as eternal, because for him time and motion are functions of each other, and before the creation of the universe there was motion, because motion needs a universe to occur. Because there is no motion/movement, time does not exists, and thus no time where the universe was created, furthermore, on Neoplatonic progress of such a theory, the course of creation appears eternal itself, since the universe exists due to the continuous discharge from the greatest degrees of reality down to the universe, and does not make any sense for one to ask when the process began. This paper will analyze Al-Ghazali’s argument on the eternity of the world, as found in his first areas of debate with philosophers and evaluated against Ibn Rushd’s answers, as well as present a personal view on the most proficient argument.

My first interest in Supply Chain Management resulted from my experience. Ever since I was young, I wanted to understand not just the ‘how’ of Mechanical engineering problems, but also why machines worked at the fundamental level. In particular, I was interested in learning the application of experimental techniques and principles governing Physics to solve problems. Therefore, I found the pursuit of B.E. in Mechanical Engineering almost a necessity, given my need to satiate my curiosity to gain deeper knowledge of that area.
