Communication Skills and Teamwork
For my Introduction to Engineering class, I did several group
projects
that challenged me to use my communication skills. We were put
into
groups and were told to construct a cardboard boat that could be
quickly
propelled and could stay afloat for a long period of time. I was
required to work with my team in constructing the boat model, helping
assemble
the boat, and piloting the boat itself. I had to use my
communication
skills to help coordinate group meetings and schedule tasks for certain
group members. I was also the main writer of the formal report
for
the project. In another group project, I was put into a group and
was told to build a parabolic hackey-sack launch mechanism. Once
again I was responsible for coming up with preliminary ideas with my
team,
helping build the mechanism, and helping coordinate group
efforts.
My two partners and I had to give a formal presentation of the project
after the competition was held. By doing these group projects I
have
learned how to work with other people and how to work as a team to
accomplish
a goal.
Professional and Personal Growth
In my first semester at UOP, I discovered that college in general,
and
engineering specifically, is very challenging. I am enjoying my
college
experience at UOP, but I know in order to be successful here, I will
need
to be diligent in my studies. I have made new friends and worked
with people who I had never previously met. Working in these
projects
has allowed me to improve upon my team work and problem solving
skills.
Having attended classes from several different fields of engineering, I
am still undecided as to exactly what type of career I plan to pursue
with
my engineering degree.
