I Want to Revolutionize Our World
When I was eight, I wanted to be an astronaut so I could explore the moon and go to the stars. Now that I am eighteen, I have decided I want to build the spacecraft that will take others to the moon and the stars. In my college experience, I want to gain the knowledge and insights that will enable me to fulfill my dream of designing and testing spacecraft.
For the past three semesters, I have conducted research in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Mississippi State University. My research has confirmed my decision to major in aerospace engineering, and has sparked my continuing interest in aerospace engineering research. My research has been incorporated into the two required freshman aerospace labs, ASE1013 and ASE1023. I want to continue researching throughout my college experience with the professors and students who have become my teammates. My research has made me realize that my dream of being an aerospace engineer is not just a child's whim, but a very realistic goal.
Also essential to a career in aerospace engineering is the Cooperative Education Program. The experience gained in placement with a company during college years serves to reinforce the concepts used in the classroom, as well as to prove one's ability to a future employer. It is my dream to co-op with NASA or Lockheed Martin. These employers are my top choice because I know that I would be able to work closely with spacecraft research. To achieve my goal of placement with NASA or Lockheed Martin I must pursue rigorous studies at MSU and continue a high level of achievement.
During my two years at the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, I have taken advantage of the most rigorous science and mathematics classes available to high school students in our state. Importantly, however, I have learned many lessons about being away from home. I came to MSMS without knowing any of my classmates, but the bonds I have made with my friends at MSMS will last through the future years. My MSMS friends have become my family, and I want to have the same experience at college.
I want to gain the knowledge in my college experience that will fulfill my dream of becoming an aerospace engineer, as well as the insights that will afford me the lasting friendships that will carry me through my life.
Having lived in a small, rural community, I have long desired improvements for my own hometown. It has long been a fact that very few people who live in my community gain a college education. I plan on earning a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from University State, and with that degree, I w...

However, K+ had no effect on the strength of contraction. The expected chronotropic effects were negative and the observed was also negative, so the heart rate decreased as anticipated. For Ca2+ the expected inotropic effect was positive as was the observed. For this result, there was strong evidence to show the increased strength of the heart contraction. The expected chronotropic effect for Ca2+ was positive were as the actual effect was negative. One possible reason for this discrepancy could be that not enough ringer solution was used and the drug solutions were not properly rinsed out. The expected inotropic effect for caffeine was positive as was the observed. Also, the expected and observed for the chronotropic effect was both positive. As expected, caffeine increased heart rate and strength of contraction. There was strong evidence to prove this
60-B is home to the Design-Build-Fly Team, Team Air, and the UAS club on campus. As president of the AIAA Design-Build-Fly Team I can only begin to tell you about the needs of our team, and the needs of the teams aforementioned. Hands-on experience for the engineering student is a crucial part of learning, it makes us understand the difference between theory and real world practice. While we may only be an extra-curricular team, we take part in what may possibly be one of the best simulations of what our members will see as part of the work-force. From the ground up we design, build, and test our very own aircraft, we then compete against-most recently- 140 schools from across the globe in representation of our university. While we are completely student run, some of these schools consist of graduate students, and some of these schools use this competition as their senior capstone projects, and yet we still fare incredibly well in competition with them, placing 12th this year. There are a vast number of engineering teams on campus, with only so many places to construct our projects.
Aerospace engineering can be a menacing career for most people. These types of engineers plan the construction of aircraft, ballistic missiles, and other devices that are propelled from Earth. However, it is a very interesting profession. From developing missiles for the U.S. Army to making commercial airline components, it’s a very demanding job. As an aerospace engineer, you must meet strict deadlines and high standards. Personally, I want to be an aerospace engineer for two reasons: I like solving problems and I’ve always had an interest in aircraft. To be able to send an object off of the earth in such a capacity amazes me. It is important to know the education requirements, salary, and skill requirements for an aerospace engineer.
My animal is the southern flying squirrel (glocomys volans) and it is an endothermic vertebrate. This Squirrel is a really cool squirrel because it can fly! Well it can’t actually fly; it can glide from tree to tree trying to find food. The foods that Southern flying squirrels eat are mostly grasshoppers and crickets, because it’s a carnivore. But they also eat nuts and berries too. The flying squirrel eats at a rapid place and likes to store food in its nest to eats later.
Entering a male dominated field churns my stomach. With roughly 5% of female pilots in the aviation department, it is a terrifying thought as a woman. I am left wondering what challenges I will face on the path to pursue a career in aviation. I fear the sexism, the wage gap, the snarky comments, saying women can’t become pilots. Although it is intimidating, I know that Embry—Riddle Aeronautical University is the best school for me to obtain my dream as an airline pilot. I will pursue my dream and not be stopped by the challenges that will come my way, because I am a woman, and I am unstoppable.
Let’s flash back in time to before our college days. Back to then we had lunch trays filled with rubbery chicken nuggets, stale pizza, and bags of chocolate milk. A backpack stacked with Lisa Frank note books, flexi rulers, and color changing pencils. The times where we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive, but we did. Through all the trials and tribulations school helped build who I am today and shaped my future. From basic functions all the way to life-long lessons that helped shape my character.
The United States Naval Academy is an ideal institution in that it provides tools to give those who wish to give service to their country knowledge and a degree. To obtain a degree in Engineering is an unwavering objective, the Naval Academy is the keystone to accomplishing that objective while fulfilling my commitment to serve. An education at the USNA is more than an education, it is an edification that will prepare me to join a leading rank of officers by offering skills that are nonpareil, and it is an education that will cultivate bonds and unity that are indissoluble even from the hands of time. After experiencing Summer Seminar, I first hand saw what hard work and persistence poured into an education at the USNA can do for I and my country, and I would be honored to pour every part of me into the laborious pathway through the United States Naval
As a freshman, I was conflicted about what I wanted out of college. At the time, I naively believed that I would major in Neuroscience and Arabic while completing plenty of biomedical research on the side. Perhaps I would also sign up for a few clubs here and there and thus produce the perfect resume for medical school. In the following year, I realized that my heart was not into the breakneck agenda I planned for myself and I started to reevaluate just what exactly I wanted to pursue in my undergraduate experience. With the aid of many advising sessions I gained a clearer picture of my passions, which as I had come to realize, were what I truly wanted to work towards. Among my interests is Global Health -- in particular, I wish to learn more
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing,” spoken by Helen Keller, and this is my life motto. Aerospace, aeronautics, space flight, engineering, and mathematics intrigue my inner mind, and is a signal to what my career shall be. Aspiring to be a ranked officer pilot for the United States Air Force, I realize science and math will be involved daily with my career. I am determined to attend the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs; duel majoring in aeronautic engineering and mathematics (or chemistry), giving me a fall out as an engineer, incase their is an abundant amount of pilots and I am not needed to fly. Getting into the Academy is one of the most difficult tasks, as I have been working endlessly for five years to be accepted, having received nominations from both Senator Grassley and Harkin, I feel my chances are positive in being accepted. Attending the NASA Trip would be a great attribute to send to the Academy, as many individuals do not have these types opportunities. Having aeronautic engineering degree as a pilot will allow for me to be the best possibl...
As I am preparing for a new chapter in my life, I have put a lot thought in about what I want out of life and what to look forward to as I get older. In order for one to achieve anything, they need to set goals to reach for. I have a handful of goals for my future, short term and long term, that I will actively work towards in my college years and beyond. In my time at UW Eau Claire, I plan to be involved and engaged in student activities on campus. Being active will help me meet new people, build a better resume, and have fun at college. At UWEC, I would like to get involved in anything musical, along with various clubs and Greek life. Similarly, another goal of mine is to have a job on campus. Having a job will not only help me make some
My ultimate goal in my career is to make a commendable contribution to the computing world either by starting an innovative venture or doing research which would change the dimensions of future computing and the way we perceive the computers. Now I have determined that a dedicated higher study on Computer Science will enable me to aggregate all my previous knowledge & experience on the field and encourage in achieving my career goal. I am looking at Graduate studies to provide me with the required expertise to carry out higher studies.
The purpose of this assignment is to explore the profession I hope to be working for in the near future. My task for this assignment was to find an engineer who has a degree in Aerospace Engineering, which is the degree that I am pursuing. I had to set up an appropriate setting for an interview with that engineer. I also had to arrange interview questions which consists of their career information’s, requirement skills, and advices that would help me get prepare to work in the field of Aerospace Engineering. I found Gonzalo Mendoza who is an Engineer Specialist in Aero sciences for CESSNA Aircraft Company. Mr. Mendoza graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Aerospace Engineering at San José State University (SJSU) in the Spring of 1997. I chose to interview Mr. Mendoza because other than his position at CESSNA, he was a student at SJSU which is beneficial for me because it would be the best time to ask some advice with senior project designs as well as getting some feedback on courses that are relevant to his job. The interview took place at E-114C at SJSU on Friday February 24, 2012. Prior to the interview, I reminded Mr. Mendoza that he does not need to answer questions with information’s that are confidential. The following questions and answers were recorded during the interview.
I look forward to being a better engineer than I am today by joining the student community at Clemson University.
