          1.             Describe	
  the	
  assignment	
  including	
  the	
  tools	
  and	
  process.	
  
             	
  
                    I	
  believe	
  the	
  assignment	
  was	
  pretty	
  light;	
  not	
  too	
  complicated.	
  The	
  assignment	
  did	
  
                    take	
  some	
  times	
  to	
  complete,	
  but	
  all	
  it	
  really	
  took	
  was	
  effort.	
  	
  The	
  purpose	
  of	
  the	
  
                    assignment	
  to	
  me	
  was	
  to	
  help	
  the	
  students	
  begin	
  thinking	
  about	
  who	
  they	
  are,	
  what	
  
                    their	
  likes,	
  dislikes,	
  skills,	
  and	
  weaknesses	
  are	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  help	
  them	
  determine	
  a	
  
                    potential	
  field	
  that	
  they	
  could	
  begin	
  striving	
  for	
  once	
  in	
  college.	
  I	
  believe	
  this	
  project	
  is	
  
                    a	
  great	
  way	
  to	
  get	
  high	
  school	
  students	
  to	
  begin	
  thinking	
  about	
  the	
  future.	
  
                    	
  
                    	
  
          2.             Write	
  about	
  what	
  you	
  have	
  learned	
  from	
  this	
  assignment.	
  Describe	
  the	
  skills	
  and	
  
             competencies	
  demonstrate	
  by	
  this	
  assignment.	
  	
  
             	
  
                    From	
  this	
  assignment	
  I	
  learned	
  more	
  about	
  careers	
  in	
  engineering.	
  I	
  always	
  thought	
  
                    engineers	
  always	
  being	
  smart	
  scientists,	
  creating	
  robots,	
  and	
  building	
  computers	
  from	
  
                    scraps	
  of	
  tools.	
  And	
  through	
  this	
  project,	
  I	
  learned	
  that	
  there’s	
  way	
  more	
  to	
  
                    engineering	
  then	
  building	
  robots	
  and	
  making	
  computers.	
  I	
  even	
  learned	
  that	
  I	
  could	
  
                    mix	
  both	
  of	
  my	
  interests,	
  business	
  and	
  engineering,	
  fairly	
  well	
  as	
  an	
  industrial	
  
                    engineer.	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  was	
  really	
  awesome	
  because	
  I	
  often	
  felt	
  intimidated	
  about	
  
                    having	
  to	
  build	
  robots.	
  Through	
  this	
  assignment,	
  I	
  also	
  learned	
  more	
  interesting	
  facts	
  
                    about	
  myself	
  as	
  I	
  decided	
  what	
  I	
  really	
  wanted	
  as	
  a	
  career.	
  
                    	
  
                    	
  
          3.             Evaluate	
  your	
  performance	
  on	
  the	
  assignment.	
  Identify	
  what	
  you	
  did	
  well	
  and	
  what	
  
             could	
  be	
  improved.	
  	
  
             	
  
             	
          On	
  this	
  assignment	
  I	
  feel	
  that	
  I	
  did	
  fairly	
  well.	
  It	
  was	
  a	
  project	
  grade	
  so	
  I	
  definitely	
  
             made	
  sure	
  that	
  everything	
  was	
  on	
  point.	
  Besides	
  that	
  I	
  found	
  the	
  workload	
  very	
  light.	
  I	
  
             had	
  been	
  asked	
  previously	
  by	
  a	
  teacher	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  student	
  portfolio,	
  so	
  making	
  this	
  one	
  
             was	
  not	
  too	
  complicated.	
  One	
  thing	
  that	
  could	
  be	
  improved	
  is	
  my	
  wiki-­‐space.	
  	
  I	
  would	
  like	
  
             for	
  it	
  to	
  be	
  more	
  visually	
  interesting	
  to	
  look	
  at.	
  I	
  would	
  aim	
  to	
  making	
  an	
  actual	
  website	
  
             as	
  an	
  online	
  portfolio	
  instead	
  of	
  Wiki-­‐space.
