Mathematics
I have constantly applied what I have learned in my mathematics coursework to my internships and my daily life. Mathematics is the study of numbers and how they are related to each other and to the real world. Math is as important as language. In fact, people sometimes describe math as a kind of language. I have learned how to relate numbers with each other and some other advance functions and formulas. I used my mathematics skills to set up questions, solve formulas and questions when developing STEM activities, in classes and any workspace I find myself. My internship helped me improve my knowledge in mathematics through the research and teaching as a STEM Youth Coach. I am happy that my mathematics skill has improved, because it's one of the qualities of an engineer. With my skill I definitely will stand out in my field.
Physics 1 (mechanics)
Physics is the branch of science that deals with the structure of matter and how the fundamental constituents of the universe interact.
In my physics labs, I work in groups of 3 in the lab. We all work together as a team to complete drafts, summaries, and reports. Working with others has been a great experience especially when it comes to getting things done. Teamwork makes us organized, less stress, and stay on track. Communication played a big role in teamwork. Texting, calling, and zoom calls were our means of communication, we gave each other room to express, correct, and improve ourselves. In the engineering field teamwork play a lot of role, which means I am on track in my career field and I tend to apply my skills in my career. Taking leadership role in my lab was another aspect of me practicing and improving my leadership skill.
