Mia Feist

Hello, my name is Mia Feist. I am studying to be a Civil Engineer here at Ohio State, as well as a member of the Humanitarian Engineers Scholars program. I was born and raised on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio with my three brothers. I have always found a passion in math. Whether it was doing long division for fun in the third grade or when I took my first engineering class my junior year of high school and fell in love with a new kind of math.  I work best when i can bounce ideas off of other people and steadily work towards a solution. Outside of school I enjoy being outside and being active. Whether it be going for a run on my own or going on a hike or bike ride with friends, I like trying new things.

Year in Review

[ “Year in Review”  is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student.  You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.  For more information, go to: http://honors-scholars.osu.edu/e-portfolio.

G.O.A.L.S.

[ “G.O.A.L.S.” is a place where students write about how their planned, current, and future activities may fit into the Honors & Scholars G.O.A.L.S.: Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement.

Global Awareness: Students cultivate and develop their appreciation for diversity and each individual’s unique differences. For example, consider course work, study abroad, involvement in cultural organizations or activities, etc .
Original Inquiry: Honors & Scholars students understand the research process by engaging in experiences ranging from in-class scholarly endeavors to creative inquiry projects to independent experiences with top researchers across campus and in the global community. For example, consider research, creative productions or performances, advanced course work, etc.
Academic Enrichment: Honors & Scholars students pursue academic excellence through rigorous curricular experiences beyond the university norm both in and out of the classroom.
Leadership Development: Honors & Scholars students develop leadership skills that can be demonstrated in the classroom, in the community, in their co-curricular activities, and in their future roles in society.
Service Engagement: Honors & Scholars students commit to service to the community.]

Newspaper Table: My junior year of high school I had the privilege to take the one semester engineering course offered at my high school. Pictured above is the first project we did in the class. A table made completely of newspaper. I worked with two other friends and together we created a table that held fourteen engineering text books. This is the project that solidified my decision to be an engineer. A few projects later and Civil would become an obvious pre-major.

Adapting Toys: For fundamentals of Engineering 1181, my class received the opportunity to take a normal electronic toy and rewire it. When we rewired it, we had it so the toy, in my case a train, would be hooked up to a button. This makes it easier and more possible for children who are mentally handicapped to be able to play with toys. For this project, my group had to first take apart the toy, and find where are the wires met, and which ones did what. The most rewarding part of this project was turning the toy on at the end. With a simple press of the button the toy came to life, just like it was supposed to do.
