WHAT- [Gold Experience]
My involvement in Mechanical engineering includes my research experience including my REU within the department of Electrical Engineering while at Penn State University as well as my REU within the department of Materials Science and Engineering while at Northwestern University. Altogether, my goal was to contribute to the advancement of non-invasive technology with improved machine-human interface.
This connects to enhancing virtual reality, as my REU research included application for improved computing system. It gave me a strong foundation and base of understanding shortcomings to today’s VR technology.
These research experiences completed my GCSP requirement as it amounts to summers altogether. My time commitment breaks down to forty hours spent weekly for ten weeks per REU experience. This sums up sixteen hundred hours (1600hrs) spent collectively.
WHY
Integrity: Conducting research required being following the scientific method such that feasibility study was consistent with similar research conducted by Universities or National Lab. With that said, I am accountable and can fully confirm that my investigation are in accordance of IEEE standards.
HOW
Express ideas in an organized, clear, concise, and accurate manner. My REU taught me the importance of communication. Whether it be written or verbal, I have been able to exercise the skill to formulate a concise and accurate description of my research investigation.
Write clearly and effectively. My REU experience taught me about scientific writing, such that my report was reviewed by senior members of the lab.
Effectively connect multiple ideas and approaches. My REU experience gave the space and opportunity to explore different sub-topics and applications related to my research question.
Formulate questions and hypotheses within the discipline. My REU experience began with a research question and formulating an hypotheses based on previous iterations of the project.
Understand how practitioners think within the discipline and view the world around them. My REU connected me with a graduate mentor, from whom I learned to familiarize myself with the instruments used in the lab
Predict, recognize, and weigh the risks and benefits of the project for others. My REU encouraged me to write a formal report about my project, where I give a deep analysis of my involvement including its Impact on VR technology.
