Year in Review
This past year I completed my freshman year of college at The Ohio State University. I took introductory engineering courses and each semester I worked with other students to complete projects. My first semester in engineering 1181 my team and I used the software MATLAB to program a toy train to run on a track under specific constraints. In my second semester in engineering 1182 My team and I used SolidWorks and Arduino to program an AEV (advanced energy vehicle) to run on a track under specific constraints. Through these classes I learned important problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills that I will use for the rest of my career. Also this past year I changed my major, I was in engineering undecided but I switched to environmental science. I am excited to see where this new major leads and where I will be a year from now.
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.]

Green Engineering Final Project
This is a presentation on Passive Heating and Cooling. My group researched different methods of passive heating and cooling and how the methods are implemented in buildings. Also the presentation discussed the environmental impact of these different technologies.
