A few years ago, my mom took me shopping to a Kohl's. While there I picked up little broken clips, size markers, and everything in-between. By the time I left the store, I had assembled the trash into a little fake gun to play with. That, in a nutshell, is what I aspire to be. Creative, inventive, and resourceful.
I grew up in the ultraorthodox Jewish community in Monroe, New York. At the age of five, my mother left with me to travel to Spring Valley, and then later, at the age of 12, we moved to NYC.
My biggest interest, and the field I plan to go into as an adult is computer programming. Though I am inexperienced in the official coding languages, I often code within the game Minecraft, which has an inbuilt coding language in the form of command blocks. Over time, I have learned the ideas behind programing. I hope to be able to further my understand of computer science and one day become a professional.
What disciplines of engineering interest me the most?
Naturally, given the profession I plan to go into, I am very interested in computer engineering, though architectural engineering interests me as well. The proof of computer engineering's importance is plain to see. If it weren't for computer engineering, I wouldn't be typing up this assignment.
I believe the creation of sophisticated calculators such as those produced by Texas instruments marks important achievement in the field of computer engineering. The calculators, depending on model can graph complex equations, store pictures, and even calculate algebraic equations.
The Texas Instruments calculators represent complexity, compactness, and utility all intertwined in one package to elicit maximum possible efficiency. As efficiency a large part of engineering, I see this as a great accomplishment. All types of people, from middle-schoolers to college students and beyond use these calculators for everything from doing math equations to fixing world problems.
I hope that in the future computer engineers will continue to create inventions and innovations that make work and engineering smoother, as the Ti-84 does.
