B2 – Design Thinking

3 Possible Future Me’s

Description:

My first possible future would be to continue my journey to earn my bachelors of science in aerospace engineering. In my third year of college, I’m hoping to get some research done and gain experience with flight designing in order to secure an internship with one of the major aerospace companies. I’m currently working part-time at a retail store but hope to leave to intern for an aerospace company in about two years. After I graduate, I’m hoping I get hired full-time for the company I’m interning for. After a few years of gaining experience at the company, I would look for better opportunities elsewhere.

My second possible future would to be a software engineer. I find coding to be very enjoyable ,but I find designing rockets, aircraft, and other cool advanced weaponry a lot more interesting than to be sitting behind a screen 24/7. If I were to go down this path, I would work on projects such as creating a bot to “cop” any exclusive merchandise from any website. In creating this, I would be able to build my resume and make money buy selling it to today’s generation. After obtaining my BS in software engineering, I would like to work for a successful company like google or Microsoft.

If I were financially secure, my unrealistic future would to be a CEO of a successful street-wear brand. If I were to chase this future, I would have to pursue the business career path. If I were to major in Business, I would most likely be working for a successful clothing brand such as Nike or Adidas. Starting off as a multi-unit operator of a successful brand while also learning and growing my own company. Being a CEO of any brand or company is one of the only ways in becoming a Billionaire. Growing my net worth would be my long term goal as a CEO.

Rapid Prototyping Experiences

Being able to talk to a few family members that are within the field of engineering has driven me to become an aerospace engineer. Not enjoying chemistry in high-school eliminated the chemical-engineering career path for me. The money and interesting projects an aerospace engineer undertakes is what lures me in. Working as an intern at my local city hall has given me the feel of what it’s like to sit in an office for 5+ hours a day. As being a part-time worker for a successful retail store and a having a father who is a multi-unit operator for Pizza-Hut, I have a bit of an understanding as to what it take to own a company.

B1- Plaster Casting – Experience

This was my first ever plaster casting experience. Although I didn’t have time for the beach, doing it at home was a lot easier than I thought. I used three buckets; I used two for sand and the other for mixing the plaster. Play sand was the cheapest material I purchased for this project. The most stressful part of this project was getting the mold as it took some time to not get the sand to collapse. I found it pretty convenient doing it at home as I was able to give the plaster a longer time to dry. It was an overall cool experience and glad it didn’t come out too bad.
