Eric Johnsen ePortfolio

My name is Eric Johnsen and My interest include computer engineering and programing engineer.  What prompted me to have interest for these types of engineering is enjoying working with computers and wanting to pursue a career in using program as computers are a essential part of everyone's life. I wanted to pursue a Career of programing and computer engineering every since I was introduced to the world of coding and programming through small and fun assignments.

Classes to prepare me for a career within programing and computer engineering  include basic coding and AP computer science principles.  I have not taken any program of studies buy try to involve myself in programing engineer courses.  I have learned to use code to manipulate physical things and have used such devices such as a Arduino or raspberry pie to control movement of projects and displays.

My field of extracurricular include playing soccer  for my Highschool and for a club. This helped me to build skills in working as a team for a common goal and to as think what decision is best for the benefit of not just yourself but also your team.  Soccer would help me with my career as it would teach me to help others find and lead others to a common goal.  I have been employed as a soccer referee which helped me to control and maintain a efficient yet fun environment or players, coaches, and refereeing officials such as myself. It aids me in my future career as a engineer as it would help to control situation in a group and help me to lead me to control and take action in certain situation that are out of hand.  

My plans after High school graduation is to attend University as it gives the experience of working as a adult alone and helping to pursue a degree and major in a selected study.  As some jobs do take certain degrees I would want to work to achieve those degrees to pursue a well paid job.  I do however not oppose going straight to work if the opportune presents itself.

After the career goal has been reached I will hopefully strive to teach others about the Joy of manipulating and creating your own code as it helps to better the growing education of Kids as technology becomes a larger part of the worlds lives and as time's change so do the Jobs needed and the careers that are available to children and give them different and new options for career paths.
