Experiences
Interdisplinary
PSCY 100 & SOCY 101
Over the course of my time here at UMBC I took several courses that were outside of the realm of engineering, particularly two courses, PSCY 100 and SOCY 101. These two courses brought me out of the bubble of engineering I was mainly in and exposed me to various other things that the social sciences had to offer. I was able to engage in discussions with people outside my major who I probably would not have a chance to talk to if I didn't take this course. These two courses did increase my interest and appreciation for the social sciences.
Service Learning
Center for Women In Technology Peer Mentoring Lead
I was the CWIT Peer Lead for two years, I was in charge of actively assigning the matches, planning, and executing events for the peer mentor matches. Over these two years I've had a chance to look back on how I can improve on my method of planning and communicating events with the community. I also have had a chance to improve as a mentor and how I provide advice.
Research
ENME 444 Capstone, ENME 408 Design Optimization, & ENME 408 Biomaterials
Over the course I've done research in various topics in order to create a solution to a problem.
For my Capstone, my team and I needed to research how Arduinos work, and how to properly wire and implement them so we could create 6 challenging modules for the ENES 101 UROS competition.Â
For ENME 408 Biomaterials, my team and I were tasked to research and make a heart valve and an improved solution to treating cataracts.
For ENME 408 Design Optimization, we are tasked to find a problem and work on an optimization of said problem. I am working with the same people in Biomaterials so we chose to optimize the design of a prosthetic.
