When an Eighth grader, I wrote my first program – a basic theme-page cover of a daily science and technology journal, using HTML. Since then, I have participated in several intra and inter-school computer science competitions. Attending the workshop on ‘Ethical Hacking and Information Security’ in December 2011 exposed me to the intriguing world of virtual theft and penetration. I discovered the world of robotics, where AI played an important part, in 2013, when I partook in a national level, inter-school computer symposium competition. Securing the First place in the above-mentioned event, obtaining a perfect score in the Eleventh grade; being facilitated for my projects on Electromagnetic Induction and Humanoid Robots etcetera, has propelled …show more content…
This March, I made a telephone directory, which besides the telephone number stored the name, age and residential address of the given person, using binary file in C++. For my senior year project, I wrote an online airline registration code that included flight details, passenger name, age, time, etc . I also kept the provision of returning the final ticket credentials for confirmation and consequent printouts. Outside the purview of my curriculum, I designed a program, which accepted a candidate’s registration for the IIT-JEE, a pan-India engineering entrance …show more content…
Working on my senior design project, where, I apply myself to an engineering problem, work out a solution; make a commercially viable working model of the same, with my team, for an industry partner, will be the litmus test, being the cumulation of my four years of undergraduate study. Additionally, Independent Study under the guidance of expert faculty, REU projects at GA Tech and JHU, partaking in the Engineering Learning Initiatives Program and CUR’s outreach initiatives, will enable me to develop a sound tool-kit for life. Furthermore, I will thrive, as I explore CURB’s Peer Mentorship Program, write research papers for JUR; undertake NASA and RISE internships along with UROP at RTWH Aachen. Of the plethora of other research activities, I am keen to inquire in the domain of VLSI Circuits and Systems, Robotics, MEMS and Nanoelectronic Devices, in the cutting-edge facilities of CSL, CNF and The Robot Learning
To me, programming seems to align with everything in my life that was lacking security, normality, and “syntax.” Growing up acquainted with PTSD has allowed me to push through difficult times and stay determined. I believe that a person’s future is not based on the opportunities and privileges given to them but rather, the opportunities that they seek and go after. Therefore, my unfamiliarity with the world of computer science doesn’t stop me from being optimistic with my future scholastic success. I want to excel in a male dominant industry and be able to be in the position to empower other young women to go after their dreams.
In high school, I was a member of the STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) magnet program. I completed the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) pathway and took a wide variety of engineering classes. I also got experience job shadowing’s and explore different activities that prepared me for my future career with activities such as mock interviews and resume writing. During my junior summer in high school, I got the opportunity to intern at a small engineering firm (Infrared Tools LLC) and work side by side with the engineers there getting hands on experience. This past semester I’ve been a student at Virginia Tech as a member of the Corps of Cadets and enrolled in Air Force ROTC.
A principal once said “ work hard, but played harder”. So in this essay I will write about intersession and some of the things I was a part of such as battlinbots, lifetime sports,and escape the classroom. Basically battlinbots is a intersession activity that involves robotics. The subject can be very difficult at first, because most of us had never learned about this before.
As a matter of fact, the Cockrell School of Engineering has cultivated the best and brightest minds of the world that are leading us on the forefront of technological advancement. Hence, I feel deeply inspired by such an accomplishment and am eager to carry out their legacy. To those whom I am well acquainted, they would agree that I place significant emphasis on my education as a student. The twenty-first century encourages, even dictates, progressive and critical thinking in order for a person to thrive above the familiar. Personally, I envision a world where technology ultimately transcends every limitation set by man.
Throughout my years in high school, I have been involved in multiple engineering classes following the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) curriculum. These classes have continuously challenged me with a variety of problem solving projects from designing a puzzle cube to constructing a ping pong launcher. Through the difficulties and adversity of these projects I have learned how to deal with and solve challenging circumstances. The most interesting of these projects has been a VEX vehicle design project, a month-long endeavor completed in my junior year. To start, VEX is a brand of robotics designed for students to learn the basics of robotic functions and programming.
I have always interested with the intricacies of mechanical physics, molecular chemistry, and calculus from a very young age. Moreover, my father inculcated in me a love for programming and computer science. As a result, I feel that for my undergraduate studies I should major in engineering. At Georgia Tech, more than half of the undergraduate students and about one-third of the graduate students are enrolled in an engineering course. Thus, Georgia Tech has one of the highest concentrations of like minded individuals that I can hope to encounter in any institution.
Computers and I go a long way back … I discovered them as a toddler, tapping the keyboard on my father’s Dell Inspiron. Later, I learned my English alphabet on the fifteen-inch screen. Today, I know they make the ‘impossible possible’ – IBM’s Watson being the best example. Currently, I am the Secretary of my school’s Computer Club, and hold events where I invite eminent computer geeks. In the last Speaker Series my guests were Microsoft’s Mr. Pradeep Jhunjhunwala, and Mr. Rohit Kumar, from Chapter Apps, a Silicon Valley-based startup.
This setting will not only me to communicate and develop with other students holding similar interests, but also those who are selected as some of the most advanced in these fields. It will help me build connections to pursue collective investments into the evolutionary future of human technology and engineering, where idea advancement is crucial. In addition
The students will be able to use technology to research different tools and their purpose to use components from their design. The students will also be able to describe the engineering design process. The students will design a rover that would move and explain why it would move. Students will test their designs to meet certain criteria and constraints, and see how well they were able to meet the constraints and what they could do better to improve their designs. They will research tools and describe why they should go to Mars on their rovers.
The article, “Coding’s Finest Hour” by Linda Jacobson is an overview of relatively new initiative, Hour of Code, which aims to introduce elementary children to computer coding. Hour of Code is in its third year and encourages schools to introduce coding to all students, including the very young. The article details the Hour of Code held every December and describes free coding activities available through the website Code.org. Students can decide to experiment with coding through three different tutorials that are very appealing to children. The tutorials use characters and settings from Minecraft, a popular online game, Frozen and Star Wars both based on popular
Ever since I was young I had an interest in computers. I have always been someone that messes around with them, and loves to find out new information about them, like how they work. I am a hard worker and almost nothing pleases me more than getting a job done, and getting it done well. Staring in my 10th grade year of high school my school stated a robotics club, and I was one of the first people to sign up. Robotics club has taught me so much that I would not have learned without it.
Carlie Zeisler Mrs. Stetson Current Event Essay Nadine and Other Forms of Artificial Intelligence “All of this seems like science fiction... DuLight and the Google chatbot may be experiments, but Facebook’s facial recognition, Microsoft’s Skype translation, and Google’s Android voice recognition are very real-and available to us all.” (Metz) What is artificial intelligence (A.I.)? A.I. is technology that can process most information and display some form of intelligence. Your phone, tablet, computer, or even a robot?
Dear, Committee Members, I am very interested in working at the Rutgers Graduate School of Education as a Part Time Social Studies Lecturer. As a life-long learner, I was heavily influenced to pursue this profession because of the inspiring educators I encountered in the public school system. I’m part of two Historical Organizations (the Civil War Trust and the National Trust for Historical Preservation) that help protect, interpret, and educate the public about the past. I completed a four-month long-term substitute social studies teaching position at Piscataway High School, teaching four World History classes and one Sociology Elective. In addition, I have over five years of substitute teaching experience working at Dunellen and Middlesex Public Schools, providing aid and assistance to a variety of different learners in multiple
The government funding for computer science and engineering could profoundly influence engineers to keep researching and advancing on robotics to better help humanity flourish into the future. Many government agencies are starting to fund computer science and engineering for research on robotics advancement. According to Kumar and Kalil (2015), “In recent years, the U.S. government has created two national education and research initiatives that are particularly relevant to computer science and engineering.” These two enterprises where the National Robotics Initiative (NRI) and the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). Also, the NRI and the CPS promote robotics in manufacturing healthcare, agriculture, and education.
Right from my childhood days, I was always eager to know how things work in surroundings. When I was given toys, I hardly played with them rather tried to dismantle it and try to know the mechanism running it. During school days, I have participated in many science exhibitions which further motivated me towards taking my knowledge and experience onto a higher and advanced level. With this desire and curiosity to understand machines and mechanisms, I chose to complete my graduation in Mechanical Engineering.
