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...
...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 lights, the sirens, the rush of adrenaline running through his body hits him all at the same time as he rushes to the hospital to save yet another life. Noah Klima has gone through his life taking what he does seriously while also having lots of fun. As Noah got into high school, we wanted to be a geography teacher, but one day in college changed his whole life plan.
For my first two years of university, I was enrolled at the Community College of Allegheny County in the pre-health major. I attended the community college for financial reasons, being that I was unable to afford a four-year college on my own right out of high school. While
I’m sure that everyone here has heard the phrase “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee”. This was the slogan used by the man considered by many to be the greatest boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali was born in 1942 with the name Cassius Clay, but later changed it to Muhammad Ali after he became a Muslim. Cassius grew up in Louisville Kentucky and threw one of his first punches when he was only six months old, hitting his mother so hard that she had to have two teeth pulled out. Clay got into boxing at the age of 12. After having his bike stolen, Cassius ran into police officer Joe Martin and told him that he was gonna whoop whoever stole his bike. The police officer happened to run a boxing gym, and suggested that Cassius should learn proper boxing technique first. Clay soon began to excel in boxing and furthermore began his journey down the path of greatness.
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).
When I enrolled at Boise State, I had not attended a school in 20 years, beyond the usual military training programs. In addition, I worked a full time job and a second part time job on the weekends. My days would often turn out to be 20 hours of work and school work combined. I really started to turn my GPA around in the last two years when I finally found a balance and my degree really started to target the B.S. requirements.

I am drawn to the teaching style in Penn’s Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics program, which promotes interactive learning. I would be able to understand both the conceptual foundations of engineering, as well as the practical applications of these textbook teachings. Furthermore, by gaining exposure to real-world problems as an undergraduate, I would be better prepared and more confident to face new challenges in the
Since starting high school, I knew my passion was to become an engineer, but I wanted myself to have additional options to choose rather than merely walk a linear line I wanted to test my abilities and see precisely how much I can handle. Therefore, I started filling up my high school schedule with AP and pre-AP classes, not because I wanted to show them off for future universities that I plan to go to like my classmates but just for the sole purpose of seeing how much I can handle and keep on going. Although my grades started falling below par I did not give up and started looking wherefore I could do next, and my perception fell on taking dual credit classes during my summer break and get a head start on my academic career. Subsequently to that summer, I applied for an early college high school program for my concluding two years of high school and got in.
Khaled Hosseini is known for the most heart wrenching stories, such as The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Hosseini's novels are projected throughout all ages, making his works extremely popular, not only throughout the nation, but also across seventy countries. As a result to this, Hosseini was immediately transformed into an international bestseller. Khaled Hosseini's successful novels are majorly based on his observations made during his childhood years in Kabul where he employs relationships not just between a parent and a child but heart felt relationship regarding marriages and siblings. He clearly describes his work as the kind of like a fairytale turned on its head. You have a very painful rupture at the beginning and then this tearful reconciliation at the end, except the revelations and the reconciliations you are granted are not the ones you are expecting. Which is how life is, really (Hosseini, The Guardian). Hosseini’s words exactly describe his first two novels, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, the protagonist suffers much guilt after betraying his half-brother as a child until he finally chooses to reconcile as a middle aged man. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, the protagonist’s father betrays his little daughter but later comes back to her, asking for forgiveness. Hosseini’s topics discussed throughout his novels provide him the opportunity to reach out to many, giving him the capability of affecting readers emotionally, his main strength in writing. When further looking into Khaled’s life as a writer and a physician, many similarities were found between his life experiences and his novels, while his years as a medical practitioner has taught him to become a dedicat...
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.
One of the memories of my childhood I deeply cherish is that of my first visit to my father's small scale factory.Exploring the machinery which made my goal more easier and my dad sharing his experiences about the working of machines made me to grew up grossing my interest towards them. That was the time i chose to get into the field of mechanical.As a child, I was always intrigued by the working of complex mechanisms and equipment. I used to spend a lot of time trying to explore and figure out their principle. In school
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.
An ambition to learn and grow and having passion for engineering have prompted me to go in for graduate studies. Chasing my Dreams! While growing up at a young age I was always intrigued by objects that produced mechanical work and energy be it prime movers such as automobiles, construction and mining equipment, turbo machinery such as jet engines, space shuttles or complex mechanisms of mechanical watches, I used to spend a lot of time trying to learn and figure out their basis and propositions, it was necessary for me to explore my inner conscience to understand my fascination towards machines and their ingenuity, Mechanical engineering seemed a direct consequence of my convictions. I have always admired my father as a civil engineer and his hard work and struggles throughout his life; He has always been a role model for me. He motivated me to pursue my dreams so I decided to pursue my undergraduate study in Mechanical Engineering
People travel miles in search of their true passion; some find them early in their life and I consider myself lucky enough to be one among them. I found my true calling at the age of 12 on a field trip to a milk factory. It seemed like the Disneyland of science with huge machineries, conveyer belts running all around, and instruments working about in their own rhythm with sheer intricacies and perfection. As a kid, I was eager to understand the mechanics behind this magical rhythm. The desire of gaining in-depth knowledge about Control System and Automation eventually led me to choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering as my undergraduate study.
